Notes in the manual are marked by this symbol.
This symbol is used for warnings.
The type and scope of application programs depend on the customer’s own
selection; therefore software will not be discussed further in this manual.
Separate manuals are included in the scope of the connectable peripherals.
For this reason, a more detailed description of these devices will not be
provided here. For more information, see the relevant manuals.
Care of the BEETLE /S-II
Clean your BEETLE /S-II at regular intervals with a suitable plastic-surface
cleaner. Make sure that the power plug is disconnected, connector cables
are unplugged and that no liquid finds its way into the device.
Recycling the BEETLE /S-II
En vi ron men tal pro tec ti on does not be gin when
it co mes time to dis po se of the BEET LE; it
be gins with the ma nu fac tu rer. This pro duct was
de sig ned ac cor ding to our in ter nal norm
“En vi ron men tal cons ci ous pro duct de sign and
de ve lop ment”.
The modular BEETLE /S-II system is
manufactured without the use of CFCs and
CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable
components and materials.

CARE OF THE BEETLE /S-II
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the
precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw
materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when
it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this
wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer
break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
disposes of old devices in an environmentally sensitive way using a
recycling center that is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, as is the rest of
the company.
So don’t simply throw your BEETLE POS system on the scrap heap when it
has served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart,
up-to-date recycling methods!
Plea se con tact your com pe tent branch or the Re cy cling Cen ter Pa der born

types of scanners such as distance, touch or stationary scanners, use
scales and scanner scales (please take into account the official certification
regulations), connect various printers, use POS keyboards with or without a
swipecard reader, use different types of cash drawers, connect a monitor,
install the POS workplace SNIkey, integrate the BEETLE /S-II in a network
after installing a LAN board and upgrade the BEETLE /S-II, since it can
