Chapter 2: Getting Started
This chapter will describe how to install and charge battery, mount micro SD card and start up
the terminal
To start up the terminal:
Install Micro SD card
Mount Battery
Connect power source
Operate power of the terminal

Installation micro SD card
Insert the micro SD card carefully as shown in the following illustrations. Make sure the micro SD card
terminal position before insert the micro SD card. Push the back end of the micro SD card to fix it at
the last step.
Note
Do not use the power too much when you insert the micro SD card. The micro SD card may be damaged

terminal until the battery released and lift it up
Remove the battery
Note
Battery Maintenance
Lithium-ion batteries have a limited life, which is affected by several factors; environment, storage, the number of charge/
discharge cycles, and level of discharge/ charge
To extend battery lifespan and battery life, we recommend following these simple guideline;
Avoid heat and humidity
If do not use the terminal regularly, fully recharge the battery at least once per month.
Do not leave the terminal connected to a charging device for longer than 3 days.
Use only charging adapter approved
In case of storing terminal 3 months or longer,
-The best temperature for proper care and storage is between 0~25°C
-Extended storage can cause batteries to discharge deeply, which can deteriorate the cell and reduce battery
capacity, service life and ability to recharge. It is suggested, therefore, that the battery be fully charged before
putting to the terminal in extended storage and that it be recharged fully every three months while in storage
Update the terminal Operating System as new updates available. OS updates may contain new programs to
optimize battery life.
Transportation
The contained lithium ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. The user can transport the
batteries by road without further requirements. When being transported by third parties (e.g: air transport or forwarding
agency), special requirements on packaging and labeling must be observed. For preparation of the item being shipped,
consulting an expert hazardous material is required.

Disposal
Rechargeable batteries should be sorted for environmental friendly recycling. Do not disposal batteries into household waste.
According to the European Guideline 2006/66/EC, defective or used battery packs/ batteries, must be collected separately and
disposed of in an environmentally correct manner. Batteries no longer suitable for use can be directly returned at
Connecting Power Source
Connect power, using one of the methods listed below.
Caution
Verity that the terminal battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is
connected, the terminal may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.
Note
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause damage to the terminal
To use mini USB Travel Charger
1. Plug the flat end of the mini USB Travel Charger into the Power interface connector and the
other end into standard AC wall outlet
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from the interface connector jack on the
terminal
To use Cradle
Plug the AC power cord into cradle and plug the other end into a wall outlet.

Operating Power of the Terminal
Power On and Off
Make long press Power button to turn on, or off the terminal.
Select OK confirmation message, when you make long press to turn off the terminal
Suspend and Resume
Press power button shortly to enter Suspend, or Resume the terminal
