What “PED Tamper” Means

If you see “PED Tamper” appear on your Shift4 terminal, there are actions you need to take to be able to accept payments again. PED Tamper is a security lockout of the system, for the protection of your customers and your business. If this appears, it means your Shift4 terminal needs to be replaced – contact Shift4 to action this. 

PED Tampers happen from the terminal being dropped or damaged, suffering water damage, power surges or incorrect voltage being applied to the terminal.
