CAUTION: Do not drill with the Payment Terminal inside the Cradle.

Note:

  • Kiosk does not include a Charging Block! Use a tablet charger or purchase one.
  • Ensure the charging block outputs at least 10W of power (5V-2A).
  • If you're unsure whether your charging block outputs 10 Watts, check the output line printed on it:
    • It should show at least 5V-2A.
      (To find the wattage, multiply the Volts (V) and the Ampere (A)).
