Correct/

Readable Info

If the terminal does not show the correct/readable information:

Recharge or replace the battery.

Connect the terminal into a known-good power supply (if you have one) to see 
if this clears the problem.

If the problem persists, contact your local Verifone representative for 
assistance.

troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply being used to power the terminal 
matches the requirements specified on the bottom of the terminal. (See
