The terminal requires a network connection to communicate with the payment processor server to process transactions.
The PAX A920 is a mobile payment terminal that can connect to mobile (LTE) and wireless (Wi-Fi) networks.
Mobile network access is required for delivery and transportation use, but it can also serve as a backup connection if your Wi-Fi network reception is unreliable in certain areas.
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. The terminal uses the regular (full) 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.
On the back of the terminal at the bottom, slide the battery cover locking switch to the right.
Lift the battery cover off the terminal.
Lift the battery from the terminal to remove and set aside.
