E1150 Setup
Note:
The E1150 mobile reader is designed to be used in any environment, accommodating a wide
temperature range as well as meeting an IP64 rating.
1. Place the E1150 on a flat surface.

the power adapter into a standard 110V AC wall outlet. Allow the E1150 to fully charge. The green
battery indicator located on the E1150 screen will be completely illuminated when the unit is ready
for use. After initial setup, the E1150 can be charged via the power adapter or any USB port.
Note:
The automatic charger shutoff allows for the E1150 to remain connected to the charger after
completion of a charge cycle. The charging notification and state of charge indication will remain
on the display while the unit is connected to a charging USB port.

host computer’s USB ports. Allow the device driver to be detected and installed automatically. If
the device driver fails to automatically load, disconnect the E1150 from the host computer. Locate
