3G/4G failover

Your Smart Terminal can automatically switch to processing payments using a mobile connection when the internet connection fails. Lightspeed terminals come with a pre-installed and activated SIM card so you can use the cellular network immediately to board the terminal.


Use the USB-C charging cable

The Smart Terminal with Printer is supplied with a USB-C charging cable and a region-specific power plug. This cable is compliant with the USB industry and UL standards. Always use the charging cable and the region-specific power plug provided by Lightspeed.

To prevent damage to the USB-C charging cable and the USB-C socket on the payment terminal, follow these guidelines:

  • Insert and remove the USB-C charging cable by holding the end that connects to the terminal or the power plug.
  • Don't insert or remove the USB-C charging cable in an upward, downward, left, or right direction.
  • Don't bend or fold the USB-C charging cable.
  • Don't use excessive force to insert or remove the USB-C charging cable.
  • Always inspect the USB-C charging cable and the USB-C socket on the payment terminal for foreign objects.
  • If the terminal operates in areas of high humidity, dust, or food residue, consider getting a charging station.
