• For IWL2xx, the battery is judged to be very low (critical level), when the measured value is
less than 7%.
• The terminal displays a warning indicating a low battery when the battery level is
approximately less than 7% and the terminal is not being powered by the base.
• If the battery status is low, the application displays a low battery warning and it is not
possible to perform any transaction or admin function.

1.10.2 Correctly Charging New Batteries

Following these recommendations will extend the battery life:
• Before using a terminal for the first time, charge the battery until the battery charge icon
indicates battery is fully charged.
• Full charging time after the first time is 4 hours or until the battery indicator indicates fully
charged.
• Every one or two months, allow the terminal to show the low battery warning and shut down
(exhaust the battery charge completely). Then fully charge the battery.
• Batteries that are not used for extended periods of time without charging gradually self-
discharge.
• To prolong the life of batteries that are not used for a long time: store them at room
temperature and charged to 2 or 3 bars. Check the charge level every couple of months and
recharge to 2/3 bars if needed.
