CTLS payment mode is defined as the state of the device where RF transmission
is broadcasting to allow for a CTLS payment. This is activated either during the
scanning of items or at the completion of scanning items during the checkout
process, depending on how the application sets it up. As soon as checkout is
complete, the device exits CTLS payment mode and remains off until activated for
the next checkout.
Turn off or unplug the terminal when connecting or disconnecting the device to
avoid device memory corruption and data loss.
Refer to the controlling device instructions for any terminal-specific warnings.
