Cleaning your Equinox Terminal
Equinox terminals are designed to function in a retail environment. Resistant to scratches and dents, our terminals are built using a variety of materials that may have specific cleaning requirements.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR EQUINOX TERMINAL
- Read the WARNING section.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the hard, nonporous outside surface of your Equinox terminal (e.g., display (touch screen), keypad, or other exterior surfaces). See the illustration below.
NOTE: Avoid excessive wiping and do NOT use abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels or similar items as it may damage the terminal.
- Do NOT use industrial strength or an abrasive cleaner (such as bleach, aerosol spray, or solvents) as it may damage or scratch the terminal and/or screen.
- Do NOT immerse the terminal in ANY liquid as it may damage electrical components.
- Do NOT spray water or cleaner into the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) or Smart Card Reader slots, ports, or into ANY openings as it may damage electrical components.
- Do NOT spray or apply any type of cleaner directly onto the terminal.
HOW TO DISINFECT YOUR EQUINOX TERMINAL
(PREFERRED METHOD)

- Wipe the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any remaining moisture or residue from the terminal.
