4) Base unit LEDs

Here’s what the different LED colours mean:

Flashing white – the unit’s starting up

Solid white – it’s ready to use

Solid blue – it’s connected to the tablet by Bluetooth

Quick flashing blue – Bluetooth’s available

Slow flashing blue – Bluetooth’s not active

 

And here’s the back of the unit...

1) Tablet lock

Keeps the tablet locked to the base unit.

2) USB ports

You can use these ports to plug in barcode scanners and other extra devices (you can get these via pdqconsumables).
 

3) Ethernet port

We’re working on developing this – so you can’t use it just yet.

4) Cash drawer connector

For an optional RJ12 cash drawer (you can get this through pdqconsumables).
