# Powering the Terminal On or Off

The terminal powers on automatically when you connect it to an AC power supply. To power off the terminal, disconnect the AC power supply.

{% hint style="warning" %}
IMPORTANT! Disconnecting the AC power immediately powers off the terminal and any transaction that was in progress is cancelled.
