Note: PayRange PayStation service requires data connection. Prior to installation, verify location has adequate cellular reception. If mobile web browser can load a website relatively quickly, data connection should be adequate. Best practice is to install kiosk towards center of laundry room or place antenna at center of room. An external antenna and a range extender cable is included in the box.

Step 1: Prepare PayStation Machine

• Unscrew security screws (T20) to remove the top back panel. There are two screws per side and two screws on top of the machine (Fig. 1).
• Remove the top back panel.

Step 2: Internet Setup

Option 1: Cellular Modem

• Mount the cellular modem on the inside of the Kiosk.
• Connect the cellular ethernet cable to the port labeled ‘Ethernet’ (Fig. 2) and can then fish the antenna wire through the slot on top of the machine to place the antennae outside the kiosk if needed (Fig. 5).
• If a power outlet is needed for the modem, a 110v outlet* is provided inside the Kiosk or fish the modem power wire through the slot on the bottom of the machine and plug into another 110v power source (Similar to Fig. 5).

*To get access to the 110v power supply inside the Kiosk, simply unscrew the two screws from the bottom panel (Fig. 3). Next, pull up on the panel then away from the machine to remove the panel.
