Battery Charging and Replacement 

The terminal uses one 5000 mAH Lithium Polymer battery pack.  Under normal operating conditions, the 
battery does not need to be removed.  The terminal has an internal charging circuit that will charge the 
battery whenever the unit is connected to the external AC power adapter.   

If the user does want to replace the battery, it may be replaced when the unit is off, or the battery may be 
hot swapped when the unit is in Suspend mode.  To hot swap the battery, save any work in progress and 
put the unit into Suspend by tapping the power button (or via the Suspend command on the Start Menu).  
Turn the quick release (quarter-turn) bails on the battery access cover on the rear of the unit.  Remove the 
old battery and replace it with a charged battery within 30 seconds to prevent the unit from shutting down.  
Replace the battery-access cover and re-fasten it by tightening the quick release bails.
