MyMobileMoney card reader

To help protect employees and customers, we recommend you clean your card reading device after every use. Here are a few tips:

 

1. Use a soft cloth dampened with soapy water to clean the outside of the terminal. Avoid excessive wiping, which might cause damage.

 

2. Use a pre-dampened cloth and don't spray liquid directly onto the reader to avoid damage.

 

Terminal

Avoid exposing the terminal to the direct rays of the sun.

 

Smart card reader

Do not put anything into the slot of the smart card reader.  

 

Disinfectant products

The following are safe for MyMobileMoney:

 

  • Hydroalcoholic solution can only be used when on a pre-dampened cloth.
  • Some hydroalcoholic solutions may include isopropyl alcohol. This can be used on every part of the device if the isopropyl alcohol concentration is below 20%.
  • Do not use solvents, detergents or abrasive products as they may damage the plastic or electrical contacts.
  • Do not use alcohol cleaning solutions (70% isopropyl alcohol) on the plastic display lenses.

 

*Consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for disinfecting and cleaning processes. The CDC or the World Health Organization (WHO) are a good source of information. See the CDC’s Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection Recommendations. 

Keeping your hardware sanitized is critical to consumer health always. Especially now.
