Starting Up and
Shutting Down
The e285 device starts up differently depending on how it is powered.
• The device starts up automatically when the e285 is connected to a non-
battery power source, regardless of the battery charge state.
• To manually power up, hold the green key down for about 4 seconds until the
device displays the startup screen.
The device lights up once the power is on.
To manually shutdown, hold the red key down for about 4 seconds until the device
screen stays blank.
Using the
Battery
The e285 device uses a single cell Li-ion battery which features:
• The battery has a safety circuit that:
• Prevents cell damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating.
• Activates when the battery is left in an unused device for extended
periods.
• The battery provides power to the security circuit when the e285 device has
no external power source.
• Li-ion batteries are not affected by shallow charging.
Follow these best practices for best function:
• Conserve battery power by turning the e285 device off when not in use.
• Keep the Li-ion battery inserted in the device and power up the device
periodically to check the battery charge. Do not let the battery charge fall
below 10% for extended periods of time as this may permanently diminish
battery capacity.
NOTE
The 4-second power-up delay prevents device startup if the green key is
accidentally held down. The time required to hold the green key down to power
up the device is configurable.
NOTE
The Verifone copyright screen starts and displays a unique copyright screen. If
the terminal comes pre-loaded with an application, this starts after the initial
Verifone copyright screen and usually displays its own copyright screen.
NOTE
The e285 device will only operate when the battery is installed unless connected
to AC power, for example, in a stand.
