MOBILE EFTPOS MERCHANT OPERATING GUIDE
GETTING STARTED
If the bars on the battery icon on the terminal display are scrolling, charging is in
progress. Refer below for an example.
Powering the terminal off/on:
When the terminal is not connected to the mains power and is left idle for 10 minutes,
the terminal will go into ‘sleep mode’ to preserve the battery. The terminal display
will go blank, however the terminal will still be connected to the network. To start
using the terminal again, press any key. After 60 minutes of inactivity the terminal will
automatically shut itself down.
To switch the terminal off manually (only if not connected to mains power), press the
CANCEL key from the idle screen and press ENTER when SHUTDOWN is displayed.

2.5 Communications
2.5.1 Terminal Communications
The terminal utilises the GPRS network. An authorised SIM card is required to process
transactions on the terminal via the GPRS network. The bank will provide data only SIM
cards with the terminal.
2.5.2 gPrs Coverage
The GPRS network provides coverage to 96% of Australia’s population. To verify if your
terminal has sufficient coverage, check the signal strength indicator bars, located to
the right of the battery indicator at the top of the screen display. Three ascending bars
indicate good signal strength. Anything less would be considered inadequate.
