1 Security requirements
1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
When connecting additional or other compo-
nents the “Electromagnetic Compatibility Direc-
tive” (EMC) must be adhered to.
Hearing aids
Under certain circumstances, terminals can
cause some hearing aids to malfunction. Con-
tact the dealer/manufacturer of your hearing aid.
Other medical equipment
If you use a medical device, please contact the
manufacturer to determine whether it is suf-
ciently protected against electromagnetic
waves. If necessary, your attending physician
could be helpful in obtaining this information.
Equipment is often used in hospitals, medical
ofcesandotherfacilitieswhichishighlysensi-
tive to external electromagnetic waves. Do not
use the terminal in such locations.
Aeroplanes
To avoid interfering with the communication
systems, do not use the terminal during the
ight.Onlyactivatetheterminalontheground
with permission from the ground personnel.
Potentially explosive areas
Do not use the terminal in explosive zones or
areas bearing signs with “Switch off sending/
receiving devices”. Do not use the terminal in
such potentially explosive locations.
Appropriately marked locations
Follow instructions and do not use the terminal
in locations with obvious signs and instructions
prohibiting such use.
While driving
Radio frequencies can interfere with electronic
systems in vehicles, such as car radios or secu-
rity devices, etc.
Vehicles equipped with airbags
An enormous force is released when airbags are
activated. Therefore, do not place the terminal in
the area above the airbag or in the space in which
the airbag could deploy. Terminals that are
improperly installed can cause serious injury
upon deployment of an airbag.
Electronic devices
Most morn electronic devices, such as those
used in hospitals and vehicles, are protected
against radio frequencies. However, this is not
the case with all electronic devices. Do not use
your terminal in the proximity of medical equip-
ment without obtaining prior permission.
Heart pacemaker/other medical devices
Terminals can affect the functioning of implanted
heart pacemakers and other medically implanted
devices. Patients with a heart pacemaker should
be informed that the use of terminals in the
immediate vicinity of a pacemaker can lead to
malfunctions. Do not pass the terminal over the
pacemaker. The risk of a malfunction however, is
minor if a minimum distance of 15 cm between
the terminal and the pacemaker is maintained. If
you suspect that malfunctions are occurring, put
the terminal aside. If necessary, consult your car-
diologist. If other medical devices are used in or
on the body, then the equipment manufacturer
should be consulted as to whether such devices
aresufcientlyprotectedagainstradiofrequency
signals. Do not use the terminal where the devices
are implanted.

The payment process at the point of sale is stan-
dardised for all cards with ep2. A variety of card
types are in circulation today. Many card issuers
intend to provide their customers with EMV chip
cards in the coming years.
– Cards for which the card information is only
present on the magnetic strip must be pulled
through the swipe reader.
– Cards with a chip must be inserted in the
chip card reader.
– If a chip card is pulled through a swipe
reader, the customer is prompted to insert it
in the chip reader.
– If a card with a magnetic strip is inserted in a
chip reader, the message “Card unknown”
is displayed. The customer must pull the card
through the swipe reader.
Payment functions
ep2 offers a full range of transaction modes and
functions. The transactions activated on your
terminal are determined by the settings in the
service centre as global parameters and by the
individual card processors.
e.g. Tip:
This transaction type is often used in the hotel
and restaurant industry. In the retail business,
however, it is unnecessary.
– Depending on the payment function and
credit card processor, different minimum/
maximum amounts, day limits, etc. can be
dened.
– Functions are described in general in this
document. Please note that some transaction
modes and functions may be inactive on
your device.
Caution for ofine transactions!
Ofine transactions are stored in the security
section of your terminal and submitted to the
card processor by means of the daily closing.
This can be carried out manually by the terminal
operator or automatically.
Should the security section of the device be
defective, intentionally damaged or stolen,
the stored transactions will be lost.
For this reason, we recommend that you:
– Meticulously retain all sales slips.
– Carry out a daily closing every day or more
often.
– Always carry out a daily closing before
making installation changes, etc.
– Always carry out a daily closing for antici-
pated longer absences from the business.
– A closing must be carried out for seasonal
operations, at the end of the season.
