Card Reader - Sleep Timeout

How to Change the Idle Timeout Setting for Mini Card Readers and Pocket Card Terminals:

For Mini Card Readers and Pocket Card Terminals connected to a device using the ‘Viva.com Terminal’ app (for Android and iOS), you can adjust the idle timeout setting, specifying how long (in minutes) the connected device will remain idle before entering sleep mode.

Note:

If you set the duration to "Never" (the default setting), you will receive a warning that the device’s operating time may significantly decrease due to increased power consumption.

➔ The procedure to modify the idle timeout setting is as follows:

1. First, click on "More" in the bottom right corner and open the "Card Terminals" menu option.

2. From here, in the "Additional options" section, you will see the option "Turn off device when idle" – this is the setting for the idle timeout of your connected device.

3. By selecting "Never", you ensure that the device will remain always on, while the "x minutes" option (shown below) allows you to set an idle time before the device enters sleep mode.

4. By selecting the last option, you can set a time of up to 99 minutes. Then, click "Continue" to confirm.

5. The desired idle timeout will now be applied to your device.
