# Power On the Terminal

The terminal does not have a dedicated power on/off button; it turns on automatically when you connect it to an AC power source and turns off when disconnected from a power source.

#### **To power on the terminal:**

1. After you connect the multi-function cable to the terminal and secure the back cover, turn the terminal over.
2. Insert the power cord’s male USB Type-C plug in the open (female) USB Type-C power connector on the multi-function cable.

4. Plug the adapter into an AC outlet. The terminal powers on automatically and makes a sound to indicate it is starting.
