Remove the back cover to set up your card reader by lifting the indentation at the bottom left corner. Insert the battery by sliding it into the exposed slot with the gold connectors at the top aligned.

Make sure to insert the battery in the correct orientation to avoid damage to the device.

To charge the reader, insert the cable included in the box into the port marked with a lightning bolt symbol. To turn on the device, press and hold the power button located on the right side until the display activates.

Every now and then, the reader will occasionally download software updates, this is quite normal as it helps the reader remain up to date with the latest security protections in place.

For this reason, we do recommend you leave the reader plugged in and turned on, even when it's not in use. This will allow it to automatically download updates in the background without disrupting your day.

Once the device powers up, you'll be prompted to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

It's important that the card reader and the computer you will operate it from share the same network. If your computer connects to the internet via an Ethernet cable, make sure your reader connects to the same WiFi router that is connected to your computer.

Next, you'll be prompted to choose your language and country.

Once you have selected your country, you will be asked to register the reader, and a pairing code will be displayed on the screen.

You can now log into your Tabeo account and navigate to your Settings tab, where you'll be able to register your reader.

Just fill in the three-word code displayed on the reader's screen and give it a name that your team can easily recognise (e.g. "Reception"), hit "Confirm" and that's it!

Your reader should be ready for use in a few seconds.

If your card reader is not connecting, please see further instructions here
