Questions

Answers

Does my Handpoint PAX need to be connected to the same internet 
network as my computer or tablet?

No. If your POS provider is integrated with a Handpoint PAX, you can 
securely connect your POS software to your Handpoint PAX terminal 
regardless of your terminal’s internet connection. 

Do I need to have anything installed on my system to work with 
Handpoint PAX terminals?

In theory no, however this is controlled by your POS software provider. 
Please contact us at 08001123344 for more details.

I received my Handpoint PAX, but when I click on the icons, nothing 
happens or the app just spins. What should I do?

Your terminal has not been connected to the WiFi, internet or SIM 
network. You will need to connect it via WiFi or SIM. If that doesn't solve 
the issue, please contact us at 08001123344.

It seems like my Handpoint PAX can only operate when the cable is 
plugged in and my battery won’t charge.

Plastic tabs are probably covering the connection points of the battery. 
Below are the steps you need to take:

1.  At the back of the card reader, push the battery cover slide latch to the 

right to open.

2.  Remove the battery case (lift from the bottom).
3.  Lift out the battery (lift from the bottom).
4.  Remove the battery protective strip from the battery connectors (this 

is important).

5.  Re-insert the battery and casing, pushing back the cover slide latch to 

the left.

Handpoint PAX says “Reader Not Assigned” 

The payment terminal has not been assigned to the merchant in the 
Handpoint TMS. Please contact us at 08001123344.

Handpoint PAX says: “Server Not Available”

Your internet network is unstable. Try to restart your router if you’re 
connected to WiFi. If the problem persists or is limited to problems with 
your terminal and none of your other internet-connected devices, Please 
contact us at 08001123344.
