Steps to follow:
- Verify that the plastic cover around the terminal box is undamaged.
- Compare the device you received with the image of the device you ordered.

2. Turn on the terminal
- Charge the terminal for at least 30 minutes.
- Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to switch it on. If your terminal is cable powered, connect it to a power cable.
