How to install Elo EMV Cradle

• Step 1: Plan your mounting location. Choose a side position on the Elo display or a corresponding spot on the stand that places the EMV reader within comfortable reach for customers and aligns with the overall ergonomics of your checkout flow.
• Step 2: Prepare the mounting surface. Ensure the selected area is clean, free of obstructions, and able to support the cradle’s weight and the attached EMV device. Gather the hardware provided with the cradle and your display or stand mounting kit.
• Step 3: Attach the cradle. Align the cradle with the designated mounting points on the display side or stand, and secure it using the included screws or brackets. Tighten to a firm, even fit to prevent any wobble or movement during transactions.
• Step 4: Route cables neatly. Feed power and data cables through the cradle’s integrated channels, ensuring they exit in a clean, organization-friendly path toward the EMV device and the main POS system. Secure cables to prevent strain during usage.
• Step 5: Install the EMV device and test. Place the EMV reader or payment module into the cradle, confirm proper seating, and connect to the POS terminal. Power on the system and perform a quick transaction test to verify card reading, data transmission, and user interaction.
