To open the paper compartment, press the pressure points at the bottom of the cover towards one another firmly. The paper compartment cover will spring open and you will be able to open it completely. Remove the central sleeve of the old paper roll. Ensure that the roll compartment is free of dust and paper debris. Insert the new roll of thermal paper into the roll compartment as shown in the diagram. The end of the paper should be approximately 5 cm behind the rubber roller. Close the cover. You will hear the cover engage.

Battery maintenance
The battery is your terminal's energy store. It ensures the terminal is supplied with power when being used as a mobile device. After a long period of use, the battery's storage capacity becomes depleted and it must be recharged.
The way in which the battery ages is heavily dependent on how it is used and maintained. For this reason, the battery is excluded from the warranty; it can be purchased from us as a consumable.
Description of functions
During operation
If four bars are shown in the battery symbol, the battery is fully charged. Just one bar means the battery is almost empty. If the final bar is flashing, no more capturing procedures can be performed and the battery must be recharged.
In theory, 333 consecutive transactions can be carried out on a full battery. 17 hours of continuous operation with no transactions will also leave the battery empty. To prevent this from happening, the terminal switches itself off after a preset length of time. The operating Before it is switched on for the first time, the terminal's battery
: only then will enough power be available to operate the terminal. To charge the battery, connect the power supply unit to the power network via the travel plug. The charge indicator light on the left-hand side of the terminal lights up red. When the indicator light changes colour and turns green, this means the battery is fully charged and ready for use.
Press the on key on the terminal for around 5 seconds until a beep indicates that the device has switched on. The terminal's operating system will now start up. When the display shows the message `Please enter amount´, the terminal is ready to use. In case of a different display message, please press the key several times, until `Please enter amount´ is displayed.

If an error occurs during reading, the terminal automatically retrieves the data from the magnetic strip (provided the bank has enabled the card for this purpose).
It is only at the point when the transaction is actually being processed that the customer needs to decide whether to confirm the payment by signing or by entering his/her PIN.
Depending on the type of card used, the terminal may require additional entries. For example, the customer may be asked to confirm the amount or whether he or she wants to switch to another language. Please read the relevant message on the display and follow the instruc-tions.

The card-specific error messages are provided by the authorisation system for the card that is being used. The card issuer bears sole responsibility for the accuracy of the information.

Security
Checklist for merchants at the POS
Always compare the signature on the receipt with the one on the card.
Check the embossing on the card to verify its period of validity. If only one date is given, the card is valid up to that date.
Use the UV security features on credit cards – if these features are not visible under UV light, the credit card is most probably forged.
Always let the customer check the receipt or check it again yourself to spot keypad input errors before completing the card payment.
Make sure that your customers can enter their PINs undisturbed and in complete privacy. Avoid storing card receipts or details as much as possible. Dispose of old receipts in such a way that no third parties can acquire possession of the details.
Keep your terminal in a safe place outside store opening hours. Do not allow unauthorised persons to access the terminal.
Report any suspicion that the terminal has been tampered to the police and B+S immediately.
In the case of all card transactions (purchase, reversal, refund), please be sure to retain the receipt intended for the merchant (marked accordingly). This contains important data which is not available anywhere else should you need to perform subsequent capturing procedures or require information about the cardholder.

B+S terminal security seal
Technical Safety
A terminal forms part of the money cycle and must therefore be handled as carefully as cash.
Attempts are often made to tamper POS terminals by opening them to obtain card details and cardholder PINs.
It goes without saying that all terminals from B+S Card Service conform to the current guidelines of the ZKA - Zentraler Kreditausschuss (Germany's central issuers committee). But B+S goes a step further by also providing a means of visual security.
All terminals feature a security seal which is located on the side of the terminal – generally between the lower and upper housing. If the housing is opened or an attempt is made to remove it, the seal is destroyed.
Check your terminal daily and ensure that the security seal is not damaged.
Necessity of a login
The terminal must be logged in at the access point in order to use it. This procedure is known as `pairing´.
If you receive the terminal from B+S at the same time as the access point, we will already have performed pairing for you. You simply need to connect the terminal and the access point.
If you receive the terminal without an access point (as a result of an additional terminal being requested, a supplementary delivery or a replacement following a fault), please perform initial commissioning of the terminal, then carry out the pairing procedure described below for the access point that you already have.
The terminal can only be logged in at one access point! Please perform the initial commissioning of the terminal.
