Abstract
A terminal apparatus includes a battery configured to supply operation power for the terminal apparatus and be rechargeable, a regulator configured to regulate and output the operation power supplied from the battery to have a predetermined level, a connector configured to include a plurality of terminal pins and receive charging power for the battery from an external charging source through the plurality of terminal pins, and a connector cap configured to couple with the connector and have a pattern for electrically connecting a first pin and a second pin among the plurality of terminal pins while coupling with the connector to prevent electric current of the battery from being consumed. A product including the terminal apparatus is released in a state that the cap for electric connection between the terminal pins is coupled to the connector, preventing a standby electric current of the battery from being consumed during distribution.
