Charging - Best Practices

  1. Make sure the terminal is charged for at least 30 minutes before you start using it.
  2. Always charge the terminal using an outlet or the optional ethernet dock where applicable. Do NOT use a laptop port or other USB port for charging.
  3. Check to make sure the charging icon is visible on the screen. This should look like a battery icon with a lightening bolt in it. Sometimes the charging cable can become loose so always verify the device shows it’s charging before proceeding.
