3 Maintenance
3.1 Terminal
−
For normal dirt, use a clean cloth slightly dampened with water and a drop or two of mild soap. For
stubborn stains, use alcohol or an alcohol-based cleaner
−
Never use thinner, acetone, trichloroethylene, or key tone-based solvents — these chemicals can
deteriorate plastic or rubber parts
−
Do not spray cleaners or other solutions directly onto the keypad or display
3.2 Card Readers
− The contactless card readers require no regular maintenance. For card reader service, contact your
distributor or service provider.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean the card readers. Doing so may void your warranty.
4 Troubleshooting
Blue Bamboo follows stringent quality control standards in the manufacturing of CT100 terminals. Each unit that
leaves the factory receives numerous tests to ensure quality and reliable operation. However, if you encounter a
problem in operation, read this section for possible causes and solutions. If the problem persists or if it is not
described below, contact your local Blue Bamboo representative for assistance.
CAUTION: Do not, under any circumstance, attempt to disassemble the terminal. If a terminal has been
disassembled it will void the warranty.
4.1 Terminal Does Not Start
− When the terminal is powered by the AC power directly without battery, please ensure that the Adapter
or the USB cable is correctly connected.
− When the terminal is powered by the battery, please ensure that the battery charge state is not below
the critically low level
− Recharge or replace the battery
− Make sure that you press the power on/off key for approximately 2 seconds, until the unit lights up
4.2 Terminal Display Does Not Show Correct or Readable Information
− Shut off and restart the terminal
− Recharge or replace the battery
− If the problem persists, contact your local Blue Bamboo representative for assistance
4.3 Battery Will Not Charge
− The battery must initially receive a full charge and then full discharge to calibrate its full charge capacity.
This operation is performed at manufacture.
− Conserve battery power by turning the CT100 terminal off when not in use. If the terminal is not to be
used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal as it continues to discharge even when the
terminal is turned off
− The CT100 terminal will notify the user when the battery charge is sufficiently low and may automatically
shut off if the battery reaches a critically low state. If the battery is used until it is completely dead, it may
take several recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging. To check that the safety circuit
has been reset, simply turn on the terminal. If it turns on, it was reset, or if it does not turn on reconnect
the power adapter and begin charging again
4.4 Terminal Does Not Process Transactions
There are several possible reasons why the CT100 terminal may not be processing transactions. Use the
following steps to troubleshoot failures:
•
Check the contactless card reader
− Perform a test transaction using several different contactless cards to ensure the problem is not a
defective card
− Ensure that you are taping cards properly. The chip on the card should above and face toward the card
reader within 3 cm.
•
•
Check the signal strength on-screen
−
Indicator displays at least one bar to indicate connectivity to radio network
−
Check antenna connection and orientation
−
Ensure that the radio has been activated by your service provider
Check the telephone line
−
Connect to a working telephone and check for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, replace the telephone
cable
−
If the problem appears to be with the telephone line, check with the party you are trying to call to see if
their system is operational. If they are not experiencing difficulties with their line, contact the telephone
company and have your line checked
−
If the telephone line works, contact your local Blue bamboo representative for assistance
4.5 Keypad Does Not Respond
−
Check the display panel. If it displays the wrong characters or nothing at all when you press a key, follow
the steps outlined in section 4.2
−
If pressing a function key does not perform the expected action, refer to the user documentation for that
application to ensure you are entering data correctly.
−
If the problem persists, contact your local Blue Bamboo representative for assistance
