Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
It is important to properly maintain Ziosk daily using the following recommended procedures.
At Startup:
Insert fully charged battery.
Verify Ziosk preparedness with printout.
Cleaning:
To clean the touch panel you will need a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner (such as Windex®.) A microfiber cloth works
well. See Cleaning Guidelines below for more tips.
Spray cleaner or water directly onto a soft cloth.
Wipe the surface of the screen gently with dampened cloth.
Press gently on the screen in order to clean more difficult dirt or oil.
At Shutdown:
Wipe Ziosk with a clean, soft cloth.
Remove battery from Ziosk.
Place battery in charger.
If a unit is not operating properly or is damaged, remove it from service and contact our technical support: support@ziosk.com
Cleaning Guidelines:
Do not use abrasive materials or utensils for cleaning.
Do not use phosphates, ethylene glycol, or lubricants.
Never use acidic or alkaline cleaners. Use of improper cleaners could damage the touch panel or plastic shell. Cleaning
products may contain 1-3% Isopropyl Alcohol by volume, which is within acceptable limits for cleaning the touch panel.
Do not spray any liquids directly onto Ziosk. The liquid could enter into a very small opening and damage the device.

Cleaning the Card Reader
Cleaning the magnetic head of the card reader is not usually required since the head is essentially cleaned each time a card is
swiped. However, if the card reader seems to have trouble reading the cards, you can clean it with a soft, thin cloth and alcohol.
Take a thin, soft cloth and apply a small amount of alcohol.
Fold the cloth over a card.
Swipe the card through the card reader.
Ziosk Inspection
Periodically monitor Ziosk for any differences in the user interface or external housing. Changes to the device may be an indication
that Ziosk has somehow been tampered with by an attacker and placed back in service.
To reduce or prevent fraud, make it a part of the daily procedures to visually inspect the device for tampering. Examples of things to
look for during this inspection include:
Look for stickers on the device that were not there previously. Stickers are often used to cover up drill holes. Make sure that
any labels on the device do not appear to have been removed and replaced. Periodically run your finger over the label to feel
for holes.
Make sure that there are no new connections (leads, plugs, antennas) added to the device.
Look for any new display items that have been positioned near the device on the table (for example, on or near the condiment
holder). These new items could be used to house pin-hole cameras to capture user input.
Check under the table to make sure that no equipment (for instance, new recording devices) have been attached without
reason.

Battery Maintenance
Good battery maintenance will ensure Ziosk provides a full day of infotainment.
Inserting and Removing Battery from Ziosk
The battery compartment is located at the base of the unit. To insert the battery, just insert it into the battery compartment until you
hear a click. To remove the battery for charging, depress the battery latch and pull the battery out.
Charging
Batteries must be charged approximately 8 hours to obtain a maximum charge. Slide the battery into a charger slot and wait for the
red status LED to indicate the battery is charging. The status LED will turn green when the battery is fully charged. Leaving batteries
in the charger after the status LED turns green will not cause damage to the batteries. A flashing RED status light may indicate a
battery fault. See the Troubleshooting section.
Storage
Store unused batteries in a dry space at room temperature.
