The Pay Terminal One is not connected via Bluetooth anymore
There is a Bluetooth connectivity issue between your Apple device and your Pay Terminal One.
First, make sure that the card reader and the Apple device are not further than one meter away from each other and that there are no obstacles between them, such as glass doors, water, iron doors, etc. These could interfere with the connection.
- Open the settings of your Apple device.
- Tap on “Bluetooth.”
- The status of your card reader “orderbirdxxxx” is …
-
“Connected” and the blue LED on the reader blinks slowly.
- Close all the Apps (step 1 to 3)
- Empty the memory of your iPads/iPods
- Relaunch the orderbird app.
- After that, try to start a transaction.
If this does not help, forget the Pay Terminal One as described in the next step.
