Step 4: Cellular 3G/4G Failover

Your S1F2 terminal has a pre-installed and activated SIM card, allowing it to switch to a cellular connection if your Wi-Fi fails. This ensures continuous payment processing even when your internet connection is down.

Step 5: Required Setup Time

When turning on your terminal for the first time or after it has been off for an extended period, it may perform a maintenance call to synchronize its configuration and update its software. This process can take 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the battery will continue to charge if connected to a power source.

Step 6: Powering On/Off the Terminal

• Power On:
  To turn on the terminal, press and hold the power button until a dialog box appears, then tap "Power On." If the battery is low, connect the terminal to a power source.
