Troubleshooting Terminals

Black Screen

  • Wake the Terminal: Press and hold a finger on the screen (or a button if the terminal is not a touchscreen) for 5–10 seconds.
  • Check Power & Charging:
    • Is the terminal fully charged?
    • Is the charger or terminal fully connected to the power source? Are all plugs inserted completely?
    • Are the cords free of frays or damage?
    • Have you tried using a different power source?
  • Restart the Terminal: Navigate to Settings > Power > 3501 > Restart.
  • Force Power Down: Hold down the power button on the side for 3 seconds OR unplug the device if it is a stationary terminal.
  • Turn Back On: Hold the power button for 3 seconds OR plug the device back in if it is a stationary terminal.
  • Battery Reset: Turn off the terminal and remove the battery from the back for 5 minutes. Replace the battery and turn the terminal back on.
