🧽 Cleaning the Hardware

Follow these best practices to clean your devices:

• Do not use abrasive or industrial cleaners.
• Do not submerge any device in water.
• Do not spray liquid into ports or the EMV reader.

✅ Instead:

• Lightly spray distilled water or mild glass cleaner (optical solution) onto a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Gently wipe down the screen and surfaces.

🧩 Attaching & Removing the L1400 Mounting Plate

• The Mounting Plate only attaches one way.
• You’ll hear a solid click when it’s securely in place.
• To remove, press the release button on the front of the workstation and pull the plate away.

📌 Install the Mounting Plate after connecting all necessary cables and completing cable management.

🔌 Connecting the L1400 Workstation

Your L1400 connects using the T3400 Elys Hub. This powers the L1400 and any connected peripherals that do not have their own power source.

Connection Steps:

1. Plug the power cable into the T3400 Elys Hub.
2. Connect the Hub to the L1400 using the USB-C connection.
3. Plug in your Ethernet cable (if using a wired network).
   • It can be connected to either Ethernet port on the Power Adapter side of the L1400.

📷 Refer to the diagram below for visual guidance.

🔗 Connecting the A3700 Card Reader to the L1400

1. Locate the other open USB-C port at the bottom of the L1400.
   • Note: If the base plate is already installed, you may need to remove it to access the USB-C port.
2. Connect the USB-C cable (from the A3700 box) to the L1400.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the bottom of the A3700.

✅ Once connected, look for the Ethernet/Pogo symbol on the top-right corner of the A3700 screen. You should also see a successful connection message on the L1400 when the Shift4 Venue App is open. 

• If the symbol is missing, the cable may be loose, or the L1400 may not have a valid network connection. 
   
• The symbol must appear for the A3700 to accept and process payments.
