Some people may wonder, since the smart touchscreen POS machine needs to be plugged in, why does it need a button battery inside? The UIPOS technical team responded that the reason why a button battery is installed inside the smart touchscreen POS machine is to power the system clock (RTC) to maintain some settings and internal timing of the Smart touchscreen POS machine.
The system clock (RTC) is an important part of the smart touchscreen POS machine. It can ensure that the Smart touchscreen POS machine can accurately record the transaction timestamp and date of the system even when the power is off or not connected to the power supply. This plays a key role in maintaining accurate records and generating reports.
To enable the function, the RTC requires a continuous power supply, which is why a button battery is installed. UIPOS equips the smart touchscreen POS machine with the widely used CR2032 battery, not only because it is easier to buy, but also because it has a longer service life, which can generally last for 3 to 10 years under normal use.
Of course, suppose the CR2032 battery in the smart touchscreen POS machine is running out of power. In that case, you don’t have to worry too much, because the smart touchscreen POS machine may sound an alarm or have abnormal performance to remind you to replace the battery. Still, UIPOS recommends that you should not wait until the battery is exhausted before replacing it. Generally speaking, it is wise to replace it every 3 years to maintain the accuracy of the smart touchscreen POS machine’s records.
In addition, whether the smart touchscreen POS machine has a battery inside will also affect its transportation classification. Smart touchscreen POS machines with button batteries are classified as live products, and the transportation cost will be higher than smart touchscreen POS machines without button batteries. Therefore, UIPOS can help you remove the button batteries before transportation, but after receiving the smart touchscreen POS machine, you need to go to the local stationery store to buy button batteries and ask professional engineers to install them.
