*The RS-232 port can power a connected device, such as a scale, magstripe reader, or hand-held scanner. The
device’s mating connector is wired to the end of an unterminated cable. Contact the Global Customer
Interaction Center to obtain an unterminated cable for this port. The following table lists unterminated wires
and their functions.
If the device attached to the RS-232 Auxiliary Port is self-powered, do not connect the red wire (VCC) to the
mating connector. This prevents the device from back-powering the LS7708.
