Installing a VRC 6940 Terminal

This section describes how to install a VRC 6940 terminal into a 
vehicle or onto a wall or workbench. Please read all of these 
instructions before you begin. 

W

ARNING

A properly trained technician must perform the installation. 
Improper installation can damage your vehicle. 

Power fault.

This message may appear if the terminal’s last shutdown 
was caused by power failure. A power failure can be 
caused by: 
• removing the terminal from the power source 
• removing the vehicle battery 
• sudden main battery failure
If the internal battery is charged, it can maintain session 
data for up to 72 hours. You can replace the main power 
supply and restart the terminal without losing data.
If the internal battery is not fully charged, the terminal may 
not be able to maintain session data, and you will lose any 
unsaved data. To recharge the internal battery, keep the 
main power connected to the unit for 48 hours. 

Terminal suddenly 
shuts off or goes into 
suspend.

The terminal may be in suspend mode. Press the ON/OFF 
key to reactivate it.

Check the main power supply and external power cable. If 
the cable is unplugged, plug it back in and press the ON/
OFF key to restart the terminal. 
If the terminal loses its connection with its main power 
source, it goes into suspend. The internal battery can 
maintain session data for up to 72 hours. However if the in-
ternal battery is not fully charged, the terminal may not 
maintain your session, and you may lose unsaved data.
