### Unpacking the terminal

Once you have received your terminal by mail, please open the package first and check whether the delivery is complete.

The package should contain the following components:

* 1 x POS terminal
* 1 x USB adapter
* 1 x power cable
* 1 x spare paper roll
* 1 x user manual
* 1 charge pad

If one or more components are missing, please contact Payrexx [support](https://support.payrexx.com/) immediately.

### Inspecting the terminal

Immediately after unpacking, you should inspect your POS terminal to ensure it is free from defects. Specifically, check that:

* The outer casing has no cracks or breaks
* The screen is free from scratches
* A battery and SIM card are installed in the device
* A paper roll is inserted in the appropriate compartment

If you discover any damage or defects, please contact Payrexx [support](https://support.payrexx.com/) immediately.

### Inserting paper

When you receive a new POS device, a paper roll is already inserted in the appropriate compartment. However, once this roll is used up, you will need to insert a new one. Please follow these steps:

1. Open the compartment at the top of the device.
2. Insert the paper roll so that the unrolled portion faces away from the screen.
3. Close the paper compartment until it audibly clicks into place. A short strip of paper should protrude slightly.

#### Order thermal rolls (paper rolls)

Payrexx does not sell thermal paper rolls. Please note that, as a merchant, you are responsible for ordering replacement rolls in time. The correct dimensions for the terminals Nexgo N5, Nexgo N6 and Nexgo N86 are:

* Width: 57 mm
* Diameter: 40 mm
* Core: 12 mm

### Charging the device

Please charge the device using only the provided cable. Ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to first use.

### Power on the terminal

To turn on your POS device, unlock the screen, and start the software, please proceed as follows:

1. Press and hold the elongated button on the left side of the device for 3 to 5 seconds.
2. Release the button as soon as the display lights up.
3. Wait until the device has booted up completely.

{% hint style="success" %}
The device is now ready to receive payments.
{% endhint %}

### Connecting the device to Wi-Fi

Proceed as follows to connect the card reader to the internet:

1. Swipe left on the home screen to display the app page.
2. Tap **Settings**.
3. Tap the Wi-Fi icon, select the desired network, and enter your password.

A SIM card is already inserted into your terminal, so the connection to the mobile network should be established automatically. If not, enable mobile data by tapping the corresponding icon.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please ensure that data roaming is always enabled!
{% endhint %}

### Standby mode

To switch your POS device to standby mode, please proceed as follows:

1. Press the elongated button on the left side of the device very briefly. The screen will turn black.
2. To exit standby mode, press the elongated button briefly again. The lock screen will appear.

{% hint style="info" %}
In standby mode, the terminal consumes very little power, but remains active. If you are not using the device for an extended period (e.g., over the weekend), we recommend turning it off completely.
{% endhint %}

### Power off the terminal

To turn off the card terminal and access additional options, press and hold the round, white power button on the left side until the following options appear on the screen:

* **Power off:** Turns the device off completely.
* **Restart:** Restarts the device.

### Care and maintenance tips

Please follow this advice to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Newland card reader:

* Protect the device from moisture, extreme heat or cold, impacts, and drops.
* Never use the terminal near flammable gases, open flames, or sensitive medical equipment.
* Do not open or disassemble the terminal, battery, or power adapter yourself.
* Immediately disconnect the power supply in the event of an unusual odor, overheating, or smoke.
* Remove the battery if you will not be using the device for an extended period.
* Clean the device only with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/pos/tutorials-newland-terminals/terminal-basics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
