The Poynt 6 is a handheld device that can function as a POS or as a card reader. It runs on a modified Android operating system, has a built-in printer, and a small customer-facing display. It has a charging dock that slots into place under the printing component.
Before starting
- Ensure that your Poynt 6 is fully charged.
- Ensure that you have a Wi-Fi network that you can connect to.
Set Up
- Unpack your Poynt 6.
- Make sure that the Poynt device is charged. You can connect the Poynt to the charging dock and plug in the charging cord to the dock itself.
- Power on your Poynt 6 device by holding the power button for 3-6 seconds.
| Note: The power button can be found on the bottom of the device on the right side. |
- Connect to Wi-Fi once the Poynt is powered on. You can connect to your Wi-Fi by pulling down from the top of the screen.
- Select Wi-Fi.
- Tap your Wi-Fi name and then enter the password.
- Select Connect.
Once the Poynt is connected, you can select the talech Register app icon to sign into and begin using the system.
Printer and Cash drawer set up
The Poynt 6 has a built-in printer. However, it can be set up with an external printer. Refer to Set up your printer in talech for more information.
If you wish to set up a physical cash drawer with your Poynt device, it is recommended that you use an external printer and cash drawer. You can find a list of our supported printers here: Supported Printers.
If you are setting up as a sole device
You should be able to see the talech app when you switch it on from the menu screen. If you do not see the app, please reach out to our team and we can arrange for the install to be carried out. All we will need is the serial number of the device. This is typically found on the side of the device on a white sticker, or underneath the device.
The device must be connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network to facilitate this. It cannot be done on a 3G connection. Once installed, the 3G connection can take over for use of the app.
If you are setting up as a card reader
If the talech register logo is not on your device or you need assistance with any other troubleshooting, please refer to Poynt Troubleshooting.
