Note about Lithium Battery
This product’s lithium battery contains Perchlorate Material – special handling may
apply. Please go to web site www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for
information about proper methods of disposal in California.
Power Surges and Spikes
Any time your terminal is connected to AC current, a power surge or spike can occur.
You should use high quality surge suppressers to protect your PC400. The warranty does
not cover damage caused by power surges or spikes.
Important Firewall Software Notice
If you are using firewall software, you may need to unblock or allow access to a number
of PayClock Version 4 application files. The PayClock Version 4 installation
automatically exposes the typical application (*.exe) files if you are using the Windows
XP Service Pack 2 built in firewall. Note: When we configure PayClock Version 4 in the
Windows XP Service Pack 2 built in firewall, we do not open specific ports. Instead we
expose the application (*.exe) file. This insures that the necessary available ports will be
open when needed.
