When you first receive your Omni 3600 terminal, you may need to install a
merchant smart card or one or more micromodule-sized security account
manager (MSAM) cards, or you may need to replace old cards. Often, these small
cards arrive on a larger, credit card-style plastic card, from which they must be
removed. The following procedure describes MSAM card installation.

Transactions
To conduct a wireless transaction:
•Ensure the terminal is in an optimal position for transmitting.
•Follow the on-screen instructions provided with your application.
To conduct a smart card transaction:
1Position the smart card with the contacts up and insert it into the smart card
reader slot in a smooth, continuous motion until it seats firmly (Figure 16).
Leave the smart card in the card reader until the transaction is complete.
Premature removal voids the transaction.

NOTE
CAUTION
Installation
For some Omni 3600 terminals to establish a wireless connection, an external
antenna is provided. This connection allows communication with your service
provider to upload transaction data from the terminal and download system
upgrades to the terminal. Radio service is activated by your service provider.
Most Omni 3600 terminals have an internal antenna and this section can be
ignored.
Only use the antenna designed for your unit. Failure to use the proper antenna
results in the inability to establish a wireless connection.
Never hold the unit by the antenna; doing so may break the connection and void
your warranty.
Data transfers can also be performed through the Omni 3600 base (see
Omni 3600 Base Communications Ports).
This section only discusses Omni 3600 terminals with external antenna.
The Omni 3600 should arrive from manufacture with the antenna attached. If
unattached, use the following procedure to install the antenna:
Orientation
1Locate the antenna port on the side of the Omni 3600 terminal.
2Align the respective “notch” inside the antenna to the key in the terminal
(Figure 18).
3Push gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it locks in position.
Figure 18Antenna Installation
To establish good wireless communication (uplink), it is important that the antenna
always be vertically aligned with respect to ground and sky (Figure 19). For
example, if standing and holding the terminal horizontally, position the antenna at
an approximately 90° angle to the unit (that is, pointing up from the printer). This
should point the antenna directly at the sky.
O
MNI 3600 INSTALLATION GUIDE21
OMNI 3600 TERMINAL
Antenna (Some Wireless Models)
If the unit is on a flat surface (for example, a table top) or docked in the Omni 3600
base, position the antenna so that it points directly at the sky. Soft detentes are
felt and clicks heard when positioning the antenna. These detentes maintain
antenna positions of 60°, 90°, and 180° .
Figure 19Correct Antenna Position for Uplink
If an application (for example, SoftPay) is installed in your Omni 3600 unit, a
signal strength indicator may appear on the display.
Replace the
Antenna
If your Omni 3600 terminal has difficulties completing wireless transactions, you
may have to replace the antenna. Use the following procedure to replace the
antenna:
1Remove the existing antenna from the Omni 3600 terminal:
aRotate the antenna to align with the base of the unit, pointing away from
the back.
bGrasp the base of the antenna, close to the body of the terminal.
cPull gently out until the antenna unsnaps from the antenna port.
2Align the respective notch inside the new antenna to the key in the antenna
port on the terminal (Figure 18).
3Push gently on the center of the base of the newly installed antenna until it
locks in position.
