3.2. Battery
A rechargeable Li-ion battery (3.7V, 1800mAh) supplies energy to the device once the external
power source cannot supply power to the device. So, transactions can still be processed even
the power supply of the bus is out of order. The battery locates at back of the device. In order to
change the battery, turn the screw in the circle in the figure below to left to remove the battery
cover. Follow the direction of the red arrow to take away the cover.
Then, unplug the battery and a new battery can be replaced in the carrier.
The battery is recharged once the external power source resumes supplying power to the device.

3.3. SAM card slots
There are 4 SAM card holders on ACR320. Each holder can contain at most 2 SAM cards, so
ACR320 has 8 SAM card slots in total. They are located behind the battery. In order to insert or
change SAM cards, please follow some simple steps below.
1. Follow the instruction in chapter 3.2 to remove the battery cover
2. Remove the Li-ion battery and the SAM card slots will be seen
SIM2 is the upper slot while SIM1 is the lower slot. For each card holder, if only 1 slot would be
inserted with a SAM card, please remember to insert a dummy card to another slot of the holder.
If no SAM cards are inserted on a card holder (both 2 SAM slots on the card holder), insert a
dummy card on one of the card slot of the holder is all right.

3.4. Smartcard reader
The Ticket Validator is built-in with a 13.56MHz smartcard reader. The demo application software
running at startup read cards continuously. When we present a card in front of the antenna, the demo
application software will show a corresponding message.
3.5. USB Host
The USB host port is compliant with USB 1.1 full speed. USB devices (e.g. mouse, keyboard, USB
hub, etc) can be connected to the Ticket validator via this port. For standard HID device (e.g. mouse)
or mass storage device (e.g. USB drive), no driver is needed.
3.6. USB Client
The USB client port is compliant with USB 2.0 high speed.
3.7. Ethernet
An Ethernet port is provided for connecting to network via RJ45 cable. By default, it uses dynamic IP
address. So, when you connect the mobile validator to a network with DHCP server, it should be able
to get the IP address automatically.
Cable can be plugged to the mobile validator before or after booting up.
3.8. 3G / GPRS
Before using the 3G/GPRS feature, a SIM card should be installed in the SIM slot before powering up
the device. The application will use the API to gain access to the 3G/GPRS.
3.9. RS232/485
The RS232/485 signals can be accessed via the 60 pin connector.
