version to the customer.

The terminal will then return to the idle screen.
If the cardholder enters an incorrect PIN 3 times the card will lock and the transaction will
be cancelled.
If a card has a faulty chip it will need to be swiped through the magnetic card reader; the
strip should face the body of the terminal and be swiped from one end of the track to the
other in one smooth motion, top to bottom.
In the event that the card still fails to read, it is possible to process the card by manually
entering the card details. This is done by entering the long card number from the "Insert or
Swipe Card" prompt and then following the onscreen instructions.
Please be aware that using the magnetic stripe or entering the details manually may incur
additional fees.
