Turn on or reboot my GoDaddy smart terminal
Press and hold the power button for different durations to wake up, restart or reboot your GoDaddy smart terminal.
- Before you begin, ensure that your GoDaddy smart terminal is connected to a power source:
- GoDaddy Poynt Smart Terminal: Connect the power supply directly to the device or place the device on the docking station. If using a docking station, the cord should extend from the dock toward the merchant screen.
- GoDaddy Smart Terminal Flex: Connect the power supply directly to the device.
- GoDaddy Smart Terminal Pro: Fully assemble the Smart Terminal Pro. To connect the power supply, connect the accessory hub to the stand and then plug the power supply into the hub and into a power source.
Note: When the display and stand are connected, the power cord must be plugged into the accessory hub to charge the display—not the USB-C port on the side of the display. When the display is connected to the stand, it only receives power through the accessory hub.
- Complete the following steps to wake, turn on, turn off or reboot the smart terminal:
- Wake the smart terminal: Your smart terminal has a sleep function that conserves power between uses. You can wake it up by pressing the power button and releasing it quicky (hold it for about 1 second).
- Power on the smart terminal: Press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds.
- Power down or reboot the smart terminal: Press and hold the power button for about 1 second. On the menu that appears, tap Power off or Restart.
