Access Codes and Cards
Depending on system configuration, the user will have an access
code to enter, or a magnetic stripe card to swipe. When the user
approaches the device, one of the standard display messages will
be shown on the display. The system prompts the user with the
message Use Card or Press *.
The display and keypad are backlit at a low level to conserve power
when the device is inactive. This low level is sufficient to read the
display at night. As soon as a customer enters a code or presents a
card, the display returns to full brightness.
