Issues

. On the 920 Pro Only
     -> Launch the Settings application which is next to the NovalPay application on the home screen
     -> If prompted for a password:
336000 (or 000000 for the older models)
         otherwise
         Go to the power saving function
     -> Choose the
smart mode 

. The terminal does not charge on the base  :
     -> Check that the charger cable is plugged into the correct port on the Base (it must be on the port marked Power at the extreme 
         right base turned over)
     -> Plug the Power cable ​directly into the terminal without going through the base to see if  it is the base that is causing the problem
     -> The charger is down (check with another charger if it works)
     -> The small anti-slip plastic supports on the back of the terminal have slipped (out of their place) and prevent the 
          terminal from connecting to the base by slightly raising the terminal
     -> Possibly clean the connectors that may be oxidising on the terminal side and the base side.
At Servipay they have never encountered any problems with the terminal connections themselves.
