Tips

The card reader requires a stable Wi-Fi connection to accept payments, and does not support "captive portal" Wi-Fi Systems. A captive portal is a webpage that the user of a public network is required to view and interact with before they can access the network. It is typically used by airports, hotels, coffee shops, etc.

Only use the provided cable or docking station to charge the device. Third-party cables may result in the device not charging.

It is recommended to restart the device at least once monthly to ensure the latest software is installed.
