CAUTION

Improper installation or removal of the terminal connector may permanently damage the MX800 Series terminal.

The following precautions must be taken with multiport cables:

Do not force the terminal connector into place.

Always make sure that all of the pins are lined up in correct parallel fashion before applying light pressure to snap the terminal connector into place.

Do not attempt to remove the terminal connector by pulling directly on the cable. Instead, firmly grasp the sides of the terminal connector with thumb and forefinger, then pull out at the same angle the connector on the terminal is facing.

Disconnecting the power source during transaction processing may cause loss of transaction data.
