The power pack must be removed or replaced by authorized qualified
personnel only.
The power cord receptacle, the power output socket for the monitor and the
ON/OFF switch are located on the back of the BEETLE /M-II.
At the front side you will find the ON button which will turn on the powerpack
(and the system) if the ON/OFF switch at the rear side is in the position ON.
Pushing the ON button again will turn the powerpack off.
Battery (optional)
The battery bridges any power failures and allows a controlled shutdown of
the POS programm by the appropriate software (see “Security in the event
of power failure”).
The rechargeable battery provides the modular BEETLE /M-II POS system
with another significant performance feature.
For operating a battery the BEETLE /M-II must be equipped with an UPS
power supply unit.

It takes approximately 7.5 hours to fully charge the battery after the unit has
been switched on for the first time. The system only charges the battery
when it is switched on and the Wincor UPS Software for WinXP/Linux is
loaded and configured for a rechargeable battery.
If a power outage occurs, the system remains fully functional for a short
period of time. In such cases, the battery supplies the system with power for
continued operation. This allows the unit to bridge power outages for a
certain, software-dependent, period of time.
Peripheral devices that are dependent on their own, separate power supply
units (such as VGA monitors) are not supplied with battery power during a
power outage. This is also true if the peripheral devices are connected to
the power outlet sockets on the POS system.
