Terminal administration

Locking the screen

In order to prevent unauthorized use, Moneris recommends locking the terminal screen when:

• your terminal is unattended, for example, when you are away from the cash register area;
• your business is closed. Leave the terminal powered on and lock the screen.

To lock the screen:

1. Think of a lock code you will remember (using 4 to 10 digits).
   • You cannot use consecutive numbers (such as 1234) or repeating numbers (such as 1125).
2. On the Main menu, tap Screen Lock.
   The “Please enter a temporary lock code for this device” prompt appears.
3. Enter the lock code you determined in step 1, then tap OK. The screen is locked.

To unlock the screen:

• enter the same lock code you used to lock the screen, or
• enter your user ID and passcode.
