Contactless
Considerations
Avoid having metallic objects in proximity of the contactless antenna. If you
need to mount the terminal to vertical or inclined surfaces, use a flat,
non-metallic mounting plate.

Measures
Use the following techniques to provide effective screening of PIN-entry
devices (PEDs) during the PIN-entry process. You can use these methods in
combination, although in some cases a single method might suffice.
• Position the terminal on the check-in stand in such a way as to block visual
observation of the PIN-entry process. Examples include:
• Visual shields designed for the check-in stand. The shields may be solely
for shielding purposes or may be part of the general check stand design.
• Position the PED so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is
difficult.
• Install the PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the
terminal sideways and/or tilt it forward/backward to a position that makes
visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.
• Position in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible.
Using an enclosed metal frame or mount may negatively affect contactless
performance.
L'utilisation d'un cadre métallique fermé ou de montage peut affecter
négativement contact performance.
