### Installing the Terminal Silicone Sleeve

To protect your PAX A920  or A920 Pro terminal from minor impact damage, you should install the silicone sleeve provided with the terminal charging base as the charging base is designed specifically for terminals with the sleeve.

#### **To install the silicone sleeve:** 

1. Insert the top of the terminal into the sleeve's printer protection until the sleeve fits snugly onto the terminal’s top.
2. Pull the bottom of the sleeve over the bottom edge of the terminal.
3. Repeat for any additional terminals you intend to place on the charging base.

NOTE: To add or change a SIM card, you need to remove the sleeve from the terminal.
