!You must re-attach the battery door! This terminal contains a mechanical switch under the battery door that prevents the terminal from initializing unless the battery door is closed.

For detailed information about installing and charging batteries, see Battery Power on page 3-11.

Step 2. Charge the Batteries

There are two types of battery power: the main battery pack and the backup battery located inside the terminal. The main battery pack powers the terminal and charges the internal backup battery.
