Clear a Card Jam

Thanks to a new design feature, any coins jammed into the card reader slot are

automatically cleared with the insertion of a credit card. The coins will fall through an

opening in the card reader, thereby clearing the card path. Coins that fall into the meter

mechanism housing may be removed at a later time.

In rare cases where coins are maliciously jammed or for the removal of foreign material

in the card reader, any thin sturdy device, such as a letter opener can be used to clear

foreign objects.

It may also be useful to remove the card reader entry slot to clear the jam. To do this,

remove the two screws on the rear of the meter as indicated in the image below:

Replace the Battery

Battery replacement is likely required approximately every two years, depending on

operating conditions. There is an additional cable required to connect the battery, which

is a three socket to a six pin battery adapter cable.

If your meter is equipped with a battery compartment cover, follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover

2. Disconnect and remove the old battery from the battery extension cable or the

main board connector terminal if extension cable is not present

3. Install and plug in the replacement battery

Method 2 (requires a Phillips-head screwdriver):

1. Unscrew and remove the coin validator

2. Remove the screws at the rear of the meter

3. Disconnect and remove the faulty battery from the main board connector terminal

4. Install and plug in the replacement battery

5. Insert and tighten all screws and re-insert the coin validator
