ViVOpay Vendi User Manual Page 16 of 24 Installation Points Unit is susceptible to RF and electromagnetic interference. This means that it is important not to mount the unit next to or near (within 3 or 4 feet) large electric motors, computer UPS systems, microwave transmitters, radio transmitters, communications equipment etc. • Unit should be mounted in such a way that it is out of the reach of small children and not in areas where it is likely to have liquids spilled on it. Although fairly rugged, it is not impervious to damage. • Unit should be tested after installation with a test card. An end-to-end transaction should be run (the same as an actual purchase on the POS). The POS should register "Requesting Authorization". Even if the transaction is declined (as it should be with a test card), it will prove connectivity all the way through the system. • When mounting the unit on a surface, thorough cleaning of the area with alcohol or Windex should be performed, and allowed to dry prior to applying any sticky tape/velcro pads. • The decals on the unit have a protective film that should be removed prior to leaving the installation site. • Due to the high visibility of contactless payment systems with major banking institutions rolling out these systems, it is critical to troubleshoot and fix any problems that occur immediately. From past experience it is important for all involved to have a successful rollout, and it will help patrons have a better and more rewarding user experience if all systems are working well. For this reason we encourage you to contact your local support representative with any questions or queries that you may have as early as possible, and we will be glad to assist.
