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, slide the battery cover locking switch to the right.
  3. Lift the battery cover off the terminal.
  4. Lift the battery from the terminal to remove and set aside.
  5. The terminal has illustrations for the different cards it can accept. Insert your SIM card in the space identified as SIM1 so the diagonal corner is facing the top left side.
