• Recharge the battery by connecting the USB-C end of the power pack to the
device and plugging the other end of the power pack into a wall outlet.
The e285 device has a simple two-color LED with two energized states:
• solid amber: charging
• solid white: charging complete
Battery Life
Charging and discharging the e285 battery hundreds of times will wear out the
battery. Significantly reduced operating times indicate the need for battery
replacement (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering information).
Charging the
Battery
After installing the battery, the e285 device can be connected to the optional
power pack or charged with a wireless charger,.
Charging via the
Power Pack
Verifone offers the optional power supply (VPN PWR087-300-01-A) to connect
the device directly to a power outlet and to charge the battery.
1 Insert the USB-C plug into the USB-C port of the e285 device.
2 Plug the AC power pack into a wall outlet or powered surge protector.
NOTE
The e285 device automatically shuts off when the battery reaches the critically
low charge state. If this occurs, the battery must be recharged for a minimum of
1/2 hour before it can power the device. It may take several recharge attempts to
reset the safety circuit when charging a battery that has been discharged below
this critical state.
WARNING
Do not dispose batteries in a fire. Li-ion batteries must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Do not dispose Li-ion batteries in
municipal waste sites.
CAUTION
Using an incorrectly rated power supply may damage the device or cause it not
to work as specified. Before troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply being
used to power the device matches the requirements specified on the bottom of
the device. (See Specifications for detailed power supply specifications.) Obtain
the appropriately rated power supply before continuing with troubleshooting.
WARNING
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the device outdoors.
During a transaction, disconnecting the power by removing the battery or
unplugging the device from a wall power while at very low battery charge may
cause transaction data files not yet stored in the device memory to be lost.
TIP
To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical
surges, consider installing a power surge protector.
