Card Reader Controls and Battery

Powering on and off 

Hold the power button down for 2 seconds.

Card reader battery 

The battery should last all day with normal use. When not in use, your card reader will go into standby to save battery and will remain connected to your app when your phone is nearby. 

How to: To check the battery go to “Settings” > “Payments & Card Reader” > “Card Readers”  > “Device Information” and see how much your device is charged below “Device Connected”. You can also check your battery percentage while in “Checkout” in the “Use Card Reader” section.

Charging

Use the micro USB cable included in your CMM kit, plug one end into your CMM and the other end into a USB port like a cell phone charger. You will know it’s charging when the light flashes red and magenta. When it’s done charging, the light will turn off. 

Pro tip: We recommend charging your card reader overnight so you can slay all day!

Updating your card reader 

Keep your card reader up to date so it can continue to work seamlessly with your GG app! We recommend updating your card reader every 6 months. It only takes 1-2 minutes! 

How to: To update your card reader go to “Settings” > “Payments & Card Reader” > “Card Readers”  > “Device Information” and tap “Update device” and wait for the update to complete. Now you are set to gloss on!
