Charge the battery

• Charge the terminal’s internal battery for 3 hours using one of the following methods:
  • Charging cable (see page 5).
  • Optional charging base (see below)
• Recommendations: You must use the exact power adaptor and cables provided by Moneris to work with the Moneris Go terminal and base. Failure to do so may affect the operability of, or cause damage to, the equipment.
• Always plug the charging cable into the power source last to avoid power surges. Use a power bar equipped with surge protection where possible.

Use the optional charging base

1. Unfold the charging cable and insert the USB connector into the USB port in the back of the base.
2. Make sure the AC adaptor is connected to the other end of the charging cable. Plug the AC adaptor into a working electrical outlet on a power bar.

   • Continue charging the terminal during the rest of the setup procedures.
