My Terminal displays 'Device Tampered'

If the terminal detects any attempt to modify it then it will respond by 'tampering’ and display 'Unit Tampered'. This protection occurs regardless of whether the terminal is powered up or not. When the device tampers, it erases all sensitive information, such as the acquirer / bank keys used for transaction processing.

The device will not be able to perform any transactions from this point onwards. The device needs to be returned to support to reset the tamper condition. The device indicates a tamper response by displaying a particular message once the tamper event occurred.

How can I view my sales history?

You can view your sales history from the Cloud EFTPOS Web Portal and going to the Reports section. There are a variety of reports which help you see your transaction history, complete reconciliation and see helpful business insights.

Blank Screen / Terminal isn’t Turning On
  1. Ensure the battery is charged to a sufficient level. Additional information on the battery state can be found using the status light.

My Terminal is Frozen / Not Responding
