First Use

When first powering up the device and connecting to an active Satellite with a configured machine number and assigned reader firmware that uses EMV firmware and EMV configuration, DO NOT POWER OFF READER! Interrupting the internal VP3300 update in progress could cause potential issues to the VP3300 EMV reader and possibly render EMV Chip / Contactless / Swipe functionalities inoperative. |
After first powering the F3 reader and assigning a machine number, once the reader firmware is downloaded, it is imperative that the VP3300 EMV reader (labeled IDT in the Diagnostic screen) reaches a Ready state.
- Swipe a Manager's Card or, if within less than two minutes of the reader restarting post-download, hold finger down on touchscreen for 5+ seconds.
- DO NOT POWER OFF READER to power cycle as it may interrupt a VP3300 update in progress.
- Navigate to Diagnostic Menu, then Start Diagnostics.
Once the Diagnostics screen displays, the IDT: field will, then, be visible, indicating its status.
