Environmental
Factors
•
The unit must be used in an attended environment.
•
Do not use the terminal where there is high heat, dust, humidity, moisture, or
caustic chemicals or oils.
•
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat, such
as a stove or motor.
•
Do not use the unit outdoors.
Electrical
Considerations
•
Avoid using the Carbon 8 during electrical storms.
•
Place the device 10 cm away from metallic objects to avoid interference with
the CTLS field.
•
Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause
excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air
conditioners, electric motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security
devices, or computer equipment).
•
Do not use the terminal near water or in moist conditions.
PIN Protection
Measures
You can employ several techniques for effective PIN entry screening on the
keypad. Use the following methods in combination or singly, as necessary:
•
Position the Carbon 8 on the stand in such a way as to make visual
observation of the PIN entry process infeasible. Examples include:
•
Visual shields designed into the check-stand. These shields may be solely
for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check-stand design.
•
Position the Carbon 8 so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is
difficult.
•
Position the in-store security cameras so that PIN entry is not visible.
•
Use signage to limit the view of the Carbon 8 to just that of the cardholder.
•
Offer PIN security literature at the point of sale.
