THE PRODUCT

The Posiflex range of HT/PB-4600/E terminals have been designed and
manufactured to meet the high end demand on POS systems. It incorporates all
the advances of PC technology within a rugged housing designed for use in a
hostile retail environment. By providing an integrated design, it has retained
many of the secure features of a traditional ECR and has avoided the wiring
“spaghetti” associated with more traditional PC solutions. This Open Standard
Architecture ensures that this terminal can use the PC application software and

MAIN CONNECTION AREA

The HT/PB-4600/E series is constructed for very easy maintenance. Press
inward both plastic buttons at lower rear corners on both sides of the system
unit (circled in right picture) to release the lower part of back cable cover.
Please note that there are 2 plastic hooks on top cover holding the back cable
cover as marked on upper part of the picture. Carefully release the back cable
cover from the hooks to show the main connection area.

Carelessly pressing on these 2 springs could cause damages. The user shall
be responsible for such kind of damage. For the HT-4600/E system even the
maintenance technician must always put a piece of clean flat foam of sufficient
size in front of the system unit before pressing these 2 springs. The LCD and
touch panel may flip forward by gravity and get or cause damage by hitting
anything in front of the system
unit. For the PB-4600/E system
the maintenance technician must
always pay attention to always
disconnect all power and cable
connections before pressing the 2
springs and not to cause any
damage either in the top cover
opening operation after pressing
the 2 springs or by leaving or
spilling any improper materials
inside after the opening operation.

Note: Please DO NOT press the 2 springs on the metal walls as cross
marked in the picture.

WIRELESS LAN (OPTION)

When the wireless LAN option is ordered with the HT/PB-4600/E system, this
option is already installed in the delivery inside the back cable cover with its
cable connected to one of the USB port. This cable must be disconnected

first if installed whenever the back cable cover is opened for any operation.
