To load or replace the paper in the P5 terminal, grasp the cap (the top of the device with the Contactless icon) of the device on either side from the end and pull up away from the paper output.

Next, load the receipt paper face-down with the paper coming feeding out from the bottom.

Once the paper is loaded, close the lid and snap it into place.

💡Note: If the paper prints blank then swap the direction of the paper.

 

Powering the Terminal On or Off

When you first receive the device, it should come partially charged. Use the USB-C wall charger to begin charging the device to full power.

Once charged for at least 30 minutes, hold down the power button on the right hand side until the screen turns on. Once the device is powered on, pressing the power button once will sleep/wake the device. To fully power off the device hold down the power button until the Power Off option is shown on the screen, then tap it.

If you need to replace the battery, lift up from the indentation at the bottom-center of the back cover to detach it from the device.


💡Note: Ideally the terminal should be powered off each evening and powered on each morning to receive automatic software updates.

 

Connect to Internet

The terminal must be connected to the internet before it can be paired or updated. For best performance, it should be connected to the same network as the point-of-sale computer.

  3. Tap on the Settings app and go to Network & Internet.
  4. Select the WiFi network and enter your network details.

💡Note: The Wi-Fi network must use WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal encryption and be password protected. WiFi is not supported for non-password-protected networks or enterprise networks.

  1. With the device powered on, unlock the device by using your finger to swipe from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen.
  2. Once on the Home screen, repeat this process by swiping up again to show the device applications.

  1. With the device is powered on, unlock the device by using your finger to swipe from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen.
  2. Once on the Home screen, repeat this process by swiping up again to show the device applications.
