Background

In light of Covid-19 (Coronavirus), many Eftpos merchants in New Zealand and around the world have highly focused on cleanliness and regular sanitisation to prevent the transmission of this virus.

Sadly, there has been a lot of misconception and confusion of how Eftpos Terminals can be cleaned leading to hundreds and in some case thousands of dollars worth of unwarranted repairs.

Not all cards are CONTACTLESS or PAYWAVE, hence this offering if not a complete simple remedy to cleanliness.

With this Global Pandemic expected to last for years to come until there is a proven vaccination, the emphasis on cleanliness is very very important.

Washing EFTPOS terminals with Soap and Water for 20 seconds is clearly NOT an option. 

LIQUID and ELECTRONICS do not work together. Instead it causes expensive unwarranted repairs together with inconvenience of downtime.

It is essential to oblige with the Terminal Manufacturer Cleaning Specification.

EFTPOS WIPES are now available in NEW ZEALAND to simplify this. They are cost effective solution that can be used to clean the external surface of your Eftpos Terminal.

Safety

IMPORTANT:

Do not clean the electrical connections. 

Do not spray, pour or coat any liquid, disinfectant, sanitizer or cleaners directly on the payment terminal.

Do not use solvents, detergents or abrasive products as they may damage the plastic or electrical contacts. 

Do not clean the plastic display lenses.  

Avoid excessive wiping, which might cause damage 

Do not get liquid into any openings nor use aerosol sprays.

Avoid exposing the terminal to the direct rays of the sun.

Do not put anything into the slot of the smart card reader 

Never use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents – they can deteriorate plastic and rubber.

Refrain from vigorously scrubbing / shaking the terminal(s) to prevent triggering a tamper alert.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Refrain from vigorously rubbing with a dry towel, or similar actions, which can cause ESD and trigger a tamper alert.
