General FAQs

 

Q: Why does my terminal say PED Tampered?

A: PED Tampered: The terminal has detected an insecurity with the hardware and has locked itself for security purposes. This can happen if the terminal was dropped or actually tampered with. This error message will also appear if the internal battery is damaged or needs to be replaced.

Q: Why won’t my A920 hold a charge?

A: If this is a new terminal, turn off the terminal and remove the battery from the device. Once you remove the battery peel off the protection sticker off the battery. Then place the battery back into the device and plug in the charger.

Q: How do I enable Apple Pay/Contactless?

A: Contact your Merchant Service Provider and have them enable this feature on your file. Then power cycle the terminal to download the new changes.

Q: What’s the warranty on PAX products?

A: Warranty details may vary. Contact your terminal service provider for warranty information.
