Two Apple iPad tablets are provided, along with matching card readers. Each tablet must use the card reader it is already paired with. Both the tablets and card readers are labeled (A or T). The tablets are labeled on the back. The card reader communicates by wireless bluetooth to the tablet.
You will need both tablets and readers for the national conference. Only one tablet is needed for the regional conferences, and you may select whichever you wish.
Starting the Tablet
Boot up the tablet – press and hold the power button on the upper right side until the Apple logo appears.
Enter passcode 3867 to access the tablet.
Verifying Connectivity
If you ever need to verify that Cellular Data and Bluetooth are enabled, access the tablet's Control Panel by swiping down from the top right corner.
Tap in the center of the Control Panel to enlarge it.
Setting Up the Card Reader
Attach the card reader to its stand.
(The tablet and card reader are battery powered. Make sure they are charged up. See here for information about charging in general, and below for checking the charge level of the card reader.)
Setting Up the Tablet and Card Reader
To turn the screen on if it is off, press the power button, then enter the passcode 3867.

Tap the Shopify POS icon on the tablet to open the Shopify POS app.

The top right of the screen should indicate that the Chip & Card Reader is connected, along with its charge level.
