**Description**

Customer is prompted to enter PIN with accessibility feature. The customer can drag their fingers orienting themselves using the corners of the device. The screen is laid out as a virtual number pad grid. As the user drags fingers along each number, a beep is played. The beep is same regardless of the digit that the finger has been dragged to. Playing the beep allows the customer to count the number of beeps heard and using the direction in which the fingers has moved, they can decipher the digit their finger is on. Once the finger is dragged to the desired digit, the customer can select that digit by double tapping anywhere on the screen or pressing the tactile accessibility button, depending on how the accessibility mode was configured at the start. The accessibility mode has to be turned on for each transaction. If the number of PIN entry retries exceeds a configurable number, the customer will be taken to a short training for PIN entry in the accessibility mode. Refer to the purchase flow for more PIN entry details.

“Please enter your PIN. PIN pad has telephone layout with One, Two, Three at the top and Cancel, Zero, OK at the bottom of the screen. The PIN pad covers the whole screen. The screen will be blank. To find digits, start from a corner and move one finger up or down, until you hear a beep or the words, ‘Cancel’, or ‘OK’. To find additional digits, move your finger around the keypad and listen for the beeps. To select a digit, lift your finger, then tap two times using one finger on the screen and listen for the acceptance sound. If you are not sure you found the right digit, do not double tap the screen. Simply start searching from the corner again. The terminal will announce when you have entered each digit.
