5  Connect a payment device

NOTE: 
If you chose to purchase a standalone Station to take orders only, a payment device does not need to be connected.

Mounting plate installation

The Station is designed to be installed on a mounting plate; however, the use of the mounting plate is optional. The mounting plate may be installed using either adhesive tape or screwed directly to the surface. Choose a location for your Station away from direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture or heat, and away from electrical devices, such as microwave ovens or blow dryers, that might introduce interference. 

To install the Station mounting plate


  1. Position the Station on a countertop, desktop or tabletop. 
  2. Use mounting tape or screw the mounting plate to the table. 
    • To install the mounting plate with the mounting tape, tear off the tape backing on the mounting plate and stick it to the desired table location.
    • To install the mounting plate with screws, install screws through each corner of the plate into the table as shown.
  3. Once the mounting plate is fixed to your surface, install the Station by placing it over the mounting plate and pressing down until the station locks in place on the plate.
  4. To remove the Station, press the release button on the bottom of the Station and then lift the Station up off the plate.
