Important notes
The modular POS system BEETLE /Se conforms to the current safety
standards for data processing equipment.
n
If this device is taken from a cold environment into the operating room,
moisture condensation may form. The device must be absolutely dry
before being put into service; an acclimatization period of at least two
hours must therefore be observed.
n
This device is equipped with a safety-tested power cable and may be
connected only to a prescribed grounded-contact power socket.
n
When setting up the device, ensure that the power socket on the device
and the grounded-contact power socket are easily accessible.
n
To disconnect the device from the supply voltage completely, switch off
the device and disconnect the power plug.
n
Ensure that no foreign objects (e.g. office clips) find their way into the
device, as this may lead to electric shocks or short-circuits.
n
Never plug in or unplug data communication lines during thunder-
storms.
n
Protect devices from vibrations, dust, moisture and heat.
n
Always dispose of used parts, such as batteries, in an environmentally
safe manner.
n
In emergencies (e.g. damaged housing or damaged power cable,
penetration by liquids or foreign bodies), the device must be switched
off immediately, the power plug disconnected and the Customer Service
of Wincor Nixdorf or your dealer must be notified.
The lithium battery must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations
for special waste. In case of an improper change of the lithium battery it
exist an explosion risk.
The device may only be repaired by authorized qualified personnel.
Unauthorized opening of the device and inexpertly carried-out repairs may
not only seriously jeopardize the safety of the user, but also cancel all
warranty and liability agreements.
IMPORTANT NOTES
2
Your BEETLE /POS system is the result of modern technical innovation. So
please see for according structural and technical surroundings to guarantee
a faultless and efficient work of your BEETLE.
Therefore, you should connect your BEETLE or other IT-devices only to
power supply systems with separately guided protective earth conductor
(PE). This kind of electricity system is known as TN-S network. Do not use
PEN conductors!
Please also observe the recommendations of the norm DIN VDE 0100, Part
540, Appendix C2 as well as EN50174-2, §5.4.3.Thus you can help to avoid
possible malfunctions.
Warning
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Separate manuals are included in the scope of the connectable peripherals.
For this reason, a more detailed description of these devices will not be
provided here. For more information, see the relevant manuals.
Care of the BEETLE /Se
Clean your BEETLE /Se at regular intervals with a suitable plastic-surface
cleaner. Make sure that the power plug is disconnected, connector cables
are unplugged and that no liquid finds its way into the device.
Recycling the BEETLE /Se
En vi ron men tal pro tec ti on does not be gin when
it co mes time to dis po se of the BEET LE; it
be gins with the ma nu fac tu rer. This pro duct was
de sig ned ac cor ding to our in ter nal norm
“En vi ron men tal cons ci ous pro duct de sign and
de ve lop ment”.
The modular BEETLE System is manufactured without the use of CFCs and
CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable components and materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the
precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw
materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when
it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this
wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer
break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
disposes of old devices in an environmentally sensitive way using a
recycling center that is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, as is the rest of
the company.
CARE OF THE BEETLE /SE

So don’t simply throw your POS system on the scrap heap when it has
served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date
recycling methods!
