The Clover Station requires a stable DC voltage supply. Insufficient or fluctuating voltage from the power adapter can cause system instability and application crashes. Voltage drop can be caused by cable degradation or internal component failure within the adapter. Ensure correct polarity. NFC/EMV reader functionality requires stable power.
Safe Handling: Always unplug the power adapter from the power outlet before inspecting or cleaning it. Avoid touching the metal prongs of the power adapter while it is plugged in. Do not use the power adapter in wet or damp conditions. Avoid cable strain.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the power adapter to prevent overheating.,Avoid placing heavy objects on the power adapter cable.,Regularly inspect the power adapter and cable for damage.,Unplug the power adapter during periods of extended inactivity to prevent potential power surges.,Use a surge protector to protect the Clover Station and power adapter from power surges.,Clean the exterior of the power adapter with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris (Safe Handling: unplug before cleaning).
A failing power adapter can sometimes exhibit inconsistent voltage output only under load. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage both with and without the Clover Station connected. A significant voltage drop only under load is a strong indicator of power adapter failure.
