Battery problems

The terminal doesn't charge properly or doesn't charge at all.

First solution: Charge the terminal properly

  • Make sure that the terminal is charged for at least 30 minutes before you start using it.
  • If the battery is still not charging, try connecting the terminal to a different charger.
  • See Manage battery power for information about monitoring the battery charge level, sleep mode, and events that influence battery performance.

Charge the terminal overnight for the best results.

Second solution: Take out the battery

This solution only applies to terminals that have a removable battery.

  1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the terminal.
  2. Take out the battery.
  3. Make sure that there is no dust or debris between the battery connector and the terminal.
  4. Put the battery back in the terminal.
  5. Press and hold the Confirm button for at least three seconds to restart the terminal.
  6. If the problem continues, try a different charger. If the battery still doesn't charge, you should replace the terminal.

Third solution: Replace the battery

On terminals that have a removable battery:

  1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the terminal.
  2. Take out the battery.
  3. Install a replacement battery.
  4. Press and hold the Confirm button for at least three seconds to restart the terminal.
  5. If the problem continues, try charging the replacement battery. If the problem persists after installing a new battery with a full charge, you should replace the terminal.
