If the terminal has been powered off it can be powered on in a number of ways:

By inserting batteries (rechargeable or non-rechargeable)

By applying external power

When the power off timer has expired

By using the magnet fob and following the instructions below
1. Hold the magnet fob centered on the magnet sensor (Figure 32 and Figure 34) for 3
seconds and then remove to power on the terminal. Once the terminal has power, the
LED emits a few short flashes. Refer to [T204] for LED operation information and
flash rates.
