PIN Security
Protect ID Scanner Data
All CardVisor Age verifiers can secure the transaction data with
a user selected PIN code. Transaction data records (stored in
MemoPad) are marked Private and may be hidden
or masked by entering a PIN code via the security application
on the main screen. Shown below is what the
transaction data stored in MemoPad look like when shown,
masked or hidden.

To set the PIN code, select the Security Application (shown
below) from the Home screen. Then select Mask Records
or Hide Records from the Current Privacy Menu.
Selecting either will prompt a Password or PIN code to be entered
which must then be confirmed.

Note: If the PIN code or Password is forgotten, there is no way
to recover it via the standard security application. Resetting
the Password will delete all the transaction data. Use this
feature with caution.
Note: This same PIN code can be to 'lock' the system so that
turning it back on requires the PIN code. Again, use this
feature with caution as forgetting the PIN code requires a hard
reset which will erase all data in the handheld.
Note: Version 3.5 of the Palm OS Security application (Platinum,
Neo, Prism, Pro, Edge are version 3.5) lets private data be hidden
or masked. Version 3.1 (Deluxe, Solo have version 3.1) can
only hide private data. Below is the Security Screen from
version 3.1.
