Security of your terminal
Your device fulfils current applicable PCI PTS security requirements. Upon receipt of your terminal you should check for signs of tampering of the equipment. It is strongly advised that these checks are performed regularly after receipt. You should check, for example: that the keypad is firmly in place; that there is no evidence of unusual wires that have been connected to any ports on your terminal or associated equipment, the chip card reader or any other part of your terminal. Such checks would provide warning of any unauthorised modifications to your terminal, and other suspicious behaviour of individuals that have access to your terminal. Your terminal detects any “tampered state”. In this state the terminal will repeatedly flash the message” Alert Irruption!” and further use of the terminal will not be possible. If you observe the “Alert Irruption!” message, you should contact the terminal helpdesk immediately. You are strongly advised to ensure that privileged access to your terminal is only granted to staff that have been independently verified as being trustworthy. The terminal must never be put in or left at a location where it could be stolen or replaced by another device.
CAUTION
Positioning of the terminal on
check stand must be in such a way to make cardholder PIN (Personal
Identification Number) spying infeasible. Positioning of in-store security
cameras such way that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible. NEVER ask the
customer to divulge their PIN Code. Customers should be advised to ensure
that they are not being overlooked when entering their PIN Code
