Paymate OnTheGo FAQs

I have a phone and a tablet. Can I swap the Card Reader between them?

Yes you can if the devices have both previously been paired via Bluetooth. The best way to deal with the syncing of different phones is not to pair again each time but to use the “select device” option. Follow these steps to change devices:

  • Set Bluetooth to On on the phone or tablet that you wish to change to be connected with the Card Reader
  • On the Card Reader, select F for function and enter your manager password , Then select 2 for terminal, then 5 for Bluetooth and then 2 for Device Pair and then 3 for Select Device.
  • Select the device that you wish to use from the list.
  • A pin number will appear momentarily then will move to the Device successfully paired

The phone or tablet will then be pair with the iCMP. Be patient as the syncing can take a few moments.

The Card Reader is asking me for my Managers Password, what is this?

It’s a 6 digit number that came with your card reader when it was delivered.

For example if you live in NSW and where born in 1980, the password will be
