  • Deep charge: Leave the terminal on the charger for 15–30 minutes before trying again.

  • Hard Reset: Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.

Wi-Fi Connection Issues?

  • Restart everything: Power cycle both your router and the terminal.

  • Switch to SIM: If Wi-Fi is unstable, go to network settings and enable Cellular Data to use the pre-installed SIM card.
