# Device Setup

This section outlines the setup procedures for the UX700-4G-A and UX700-4G-E card reader and controller, covering the following segments:

* [Contactless Considerations](#contactless-considerations)
* [Selecting Unit Location](#selecting-unit-location)
* [Inside the Shipping Carton](#inside-the-shipping-carton)
* [Installing or Replacing SAM Cards](#installing-or-replacing-sam-cards)
* [Inspecting the Connection Port](#inspecting-the-connection-port)
* [Mounting the Device](#mounting-the-device)
* [UX700-4G-A and UX700-4G-E Transactions](#ux700-4g-a-and-ux700-4g-e-transactions)

## Contactless Considerations

The contactless antenna is located around the display. Ensure that the metallic objects such as the frame case are kept at a minimum distance of 20 mm away from the edge of the device.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Using an enclosed metal frame may negatively affect contactless performance.\
*L'utilisation d'un cadre métallique fermé peut affecter négativement les performances sans contact.*
{% endhint %}

## Selecting Unit Location

Use the following guidelines when selecting a location for your device.

* Select a location convenient for the customer.
* Avoid dusty, hot, or damp locations.
* To minimize data reading or writing errors, pick a location free from magnetic interference. Choose a spot a safe distance away from objects or units that generate magnetism.

### Choosing Mounting Location

Choose a mounting location that has good access to both card insertion into the chip reader and has enough space to swipe the card through the MSR (Magnetic Stripe Card Reader) reader.

The device is designed to be mounted in an unattended payment terminal (ie. kiosk, vending machine, fuel dispenser, etc.) When selecting a location for PIN entry, use the following guidelines:

* Select a location convenient for the customer. For maximum convenience and security, place the device between 12° and 90° angle.

### Ensuring User Privacy

Use the following guidelines to protect the user's privacy when the user enters the PIN:

* PIN entry privacy is protected using a privacy screen aligned to the keypad center at the "5" key.
* The screen is positioned horizontally or tilted up to 45°, limiting visibility to a cone around the keypad.

{% hint style="info" %}
The front panel of the device meets the IP65 standards for installation in outdoor environments.
{% endhint %}

* The cardholder's body blocks views between 45° and 270°. The privacy screen ensures a minimum vertical protection angle of 35° (partially exposed) and 40° (fully exposed), with adjustments made when the device is tilted.

<figure><img src="/files/MDXRVSrBFxELRu9lvrRd" alt="" width="458"><figcaption><p>Figure 1: Pin Entry Visibility Area</p></figcaption></figure>

#### Design Rules

* These definitions apply to a privacy shield, which is provided as design property by the device. It may be a part of the PIN entry device or provided by the device's cabinet. The rules and the figures above are to be considered as guidelines, which may be replaced by other means of at least the same efficiency.
* The keypad reference point is taken as the column position in the middle of the keypad in the row containing the numeric key "5."
* The privacy screen of the device is to be placed horizontally or slightly tilted (0 ≤ δ ≤ 45°) and shall provide the following protection angles:

| Horizontal angle β                      | Remark                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  | Vertical angle α |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| 315° ≤ β ≤ 45°                          | Within this range of β the cardholder deters an observer with her/his body.                                                                                                                                                             | N/A              |
| <p>45° ≤ β ≤ 90°<br>270° ≤ β ≤ 315°</p> | Within these ranges visual observation of the keypad is partially blocked by the cardholder. The protection angle α shall be at least 35°. Please note that the front end of the privacy screen must be higher if the device is titled. | α ≥ 35°          |
| 90° ≤ β ≤ 270°                          | The protection angle shall be at least 40°. The display side of the privacy screen may be lowered as the device is tilted against the horizontal plane.                                                                                 | α ≥ 40°          |

The vertical angles given in the table above are with respect to the horizontal plane (see figure above). If by design of the device the keypad is tilted toward the cardholder, the backside of the privacy screen may be lower.

* If the device is to be placed vertically or tilted by 45° or more, the requirements under Step 3 will apply accordingly, using the vertical plane instead of the horizontal plane as the reference for the angle α.
* The protection is based on viewing angles and does not imply a specific technical implementation like physical shields. If the keypad is implemented as a touchscreen, the viewing barrier may be implemented by polarizers (for example, as film embedded within layers of a touchscreen), which deter the observation from the sides. The up (clerk) side must be implemented as a physical shield.

<figure><img src="/files/FiFYzaZzmN0BCnjCeNcQ" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Figure 2: PIN Entry Privacy With Machine's Structure</p></figcaption></figure>

* You can secure PIN entry by using the payment machine's structure.
