ISSUES

 

Here are some instructions to help you troubleshoot issues.

4.1.1. Communication Errors 

If the HiPlus card reader shows a communication error message it means that the HiPlus card 
reader detected a communication failure.

 

Here is what you can do to try to troubleshoot it: 

1.  Firstly, try to turn the HiPlus card reader off and on again 

2.  Check to see that the card reader has successfully connected to the network (the 

signal bar will appear on the screen, besides the battery icon) 

3.  Check to make sure there is strong signal bar strength  

4.  Try to initiate a transaction again. 

If the problem persists, please request support from your provider (see section 5). 

4.1.2. Flash Corruption Errors 

If the HiPlus card reader is behaving badly in some way, it is always a good idea to reset the 
flash to see if it fixes the issue. Resetting the flash erases the working memory of the card 
reader clearing out any corrupted flash. After the flash has been reset on a card reader it needs 
to fetch the terminal software and terminal configurations again and will restart. 

Resetting the flash:

 

1. Press 

[Cancel button] and then   

[Back button] 

2.

Enter password: 

746723

 and press  

[OK button]

 

3. Scroll menu using 

[Down arrow] to 

Config

 and press  

[OK button]
