Recommended procedures for safely storing the Citizen CL-S621 card terminal, including environmental factors and preventing damage. Avoid static and cable strain.
Ideally, store in a location with humidity below 60% and a temperature between 10°C and 30°C.
Periodically power on the device (e.g., every 3-6 months) for a brief period.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth.
Prolonged storage can expose electronic components to environmental factors. Humidity can cause corrosion on contacts. Temperature fluctuations can stress solder joints and components. Static discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive integrated circuits. Cable strain can lead to connection failures over time.
Safe Handling: Always disconnect the power adapter before handling the Citizen CL-S621. Avoid touching the electronic components inside the device. Ensure the storage area is free of flammable materials. Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures or humidity. ESD (Static Electricity) can damage the device; ground yourself before handling. Cable strain can lead to damage, handle cables with care.
Regularly inspect the Citizen CL-S621 and its cables for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the storage area is clean, dry, and temperature-controlled. Periodically power on the device (e.g., every 3-6 months) for a brief period to maintain battery charge (if applicable) and ensure proper function. Avoid storing the device in areas prone to static electricity buildup. When handling the device, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity.
If the original packaging is unavailable, consider using a desiccant pack within the anti-static bag to further reduce moisture levels during storage. When reconnecting the device after storage, visually inspect the connectors for corrosion or damage before applying power.
