It is highly recommended to enter passwords using the following methods:
- Set up anti-peep shields. Enter passwords with shields provided by the cashier desk structures.
- Position the POS terminal at an appropriate angle to make it difficult for others to view the password. For example, install the POS above a movable bracket.
