Terminal Restoration Steps

Here's a step-by-step guide to assist you:

Step 1: Disconnect from Power

Start by disconnecting the terminal from its power source. This may involve unplugging it from an electrical outlet or removing it from its charging dock. Make sure it's completely disconnected.

Step 2: Battery Drain or Auto Reset

After disconnecting, allow the terminal's battery to drain completely or let the device reset automatically. This might take some time, so exercise patience during this phase.

Step 3: Device Restoration

If the terminal restores itself after the battery drain or reset, it should become functional again. Please note that this process may take some time, so avoid interrupting it.

Step 4: Reboot Cycle (Recommended)

Once the terminal is operational, it's advisable to perform a reboot cycle to ensure its stability. Simultaneously press and hold the "#" button and the yellow button for 3-5 seconds. This helps to finalize the restoration process.

Note: While these steps are effective in many cases, they may not resolve all situations. If your terminal remains non-operational or the issues persist, it's recommended to contact our dedicated support team for further assistance.
