Important Notes
The modular POS system BEETLE /X plus conforms to the current safety
standards for data processing equipment.
If this device is taken from a cold environment into the operating
room, moisture condensation may form. The device must be
absolutely dry before being put into service; an acclimatization period
of at least two hours must therefore be observed.
This device is equipped with a safety-tested power cable and may be
connected only to a prescribed grounded-contact power socket.
When setting up the device, ensure that the power socket on the
device and the grounded-contact power socket are easily accessible.
To disconnect the device from the supply voltage completely, switch
off the device and disconnect the power plug of the system.
Ensure that no foreign objects (e.g. office clips) find their way into the
device, as this may lead to electric shocks or short-circuits.
The ventilation slots of the power supply must remain unobstructed to
ensure sufficient ventilation of the equipment. If the equipment is to
be fitted, you must ensure that the specified minimum distances are
maintained and constant ventilation is provided.
Never plug in or unplug data communication lines during thunder-
storms.
Protect devices from vibrations, dust, moisture and heat.
Always dispose of used parts, such as batteries, in an environmentally
safe manner.

Care Of BEETLE /X plus
Clean your BEETLE /X plus at regular intervals with a suitable plastic-
surface cleaner which can be ordered from Wincor Nixdorf International
GmbH. Make sure that the power plug is disconnected and that no liquid
finds its way into the device.
Recycling the BEETLE /X plus
Environmental protection does not begin when the time has come to dis-
pose of the BEETLE; it begins with the manufacturer. This product was de-
signed according to our internal norm “Environmental conscious product
design and development”.
The modular BEETLE /X plus system is manufactured without the use of
CFC and CHC and is produced mainly from reusable components and mate-
rials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the pre-
cious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw materi-
als. Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
reuse components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment
when it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as
this wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a
longer break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nix-
dorf International GmbH guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of
these parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001
and ISO 14001.
So don’t discard your BEETLE /X plus system on the garbage when it has
served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-
date recycling methods!
Please contact your competent branch or the Recycling Center Paderborn
(for European countries) for information on how to return and reuse de-
vices and disposable materials under the following mail address.
