Installing the SIM Card

If you plan to use your terminal outside of your usual wi-fi network, you need to install the mobile SIM card, provided by PayFacto or your mobile communications provider. The SIM card will connect you to a mobile network, allowing you to process payments anywhere the terminal has reception. Mobile network access can also serve as a backup connection if your wi-fi network reception is unreliable in certain areas. The terminal uses the micro-SIM card size.

NOTE: If you plan to use your terminal only on your wi-fi network, you can skip this procedure and proceed directly to Configuring the Terminal Wi-Fi Connection.


To install the mobile SIM card:

  1. Make sure the terminal is powered off and turn the terminal over.
  2. On the back of the terminal at the bottom left corner, there is a notch you can slide a coin or fingernail into to lift the battery cover.
