TERMINAL SETUP
Charging the Smart Battery

NSTALLATION GUIDE 27
Charging the
Smart Battery
After installing the battery on your VX520-G terminal, connect the
power pack to the unit for at least 6 hours or until fully charged.
The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging
and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts
down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
Battery Life
The VX520-G smart battery can b
e charged and discharged hundreds
of times, but will eventually we
ar out. When operating times are noticeably shorter
than usual, it is time to buy a new battery (see Accessories and Documentation for
ordering information).
Connecting the
Terminal Power
Pack
When you have finished connecting optional peripherals, you are ready to
connect the VX520-G terminal to the provided power source.
To connect the
terminal power pack
1 Remove the terminal rear cover to access the power port.
NOTE
The VX520-G terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery
reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must be
recharged for a minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It may take
several recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart
battery that has been discharged below this critical state.
WARNING
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Li-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Do not dispose of Li-ion batteries in municipal waste sites.
WARNING
Using an incorrectly rated power supply may damage the terminal or cause it not
to work as specified. Before troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply being
used to power the terminal matches the requirements specified on the bottom of
the terminal. (See Chapter 3, Specifications, for detailed power supply
specifications.) Obtain the appropriately rated power supply before continuing with
troubleshooting.
NOTE
Plugging in the power pack to a power source automatically turns on the terminal.
