Product Overview

Introduction

Janam’s GT1 delivers rapid, reliable and barrier-free access control for sports, performing arts and live entertainment venues. With state-of-the-art barcode scanning and the world’s most advanced tap-and-go NFC technology, GT1’s “plug-and-play” design elegantly transforms a Janam handheld scanner into a contactless, self-service pedestal, saving enormous cost and promoting safe “social distancing.”

By enabling guests to self-scan their entry credentials, GT1 practically eliminates direct contact between patrons and ticket takers, freeing up venue personnel for other important tasks. Powered by a large-capacity battery with over 24 hours of operating time, GT1 delivers robust, no-touch scanning of 1D/2D barcodes, RFID tags on tickets and wristbands, Apple Wallet passes and Google Pay passes from any location in the venue. Attention-grabbing LEDs and audio alerts allow a single attendant to monitor multiple GT1 pedestals at once from a safe distance.

Initial Setup

Pedestal Assembly

Upon unboxing, you’ll notice that GT1 is folded in half.
Remove the single screws on both sides of the pedestal while in folded position. Raise the folded top half of GT1, bending it at the hinge until the stem of the pedestal is fully vertical.

At the hinge, securely fasten the top and bottom halves of GT1 by inserting the appropriate screws into the holes on the sides of the device. Reinsert the two screws so that they lock the pedestal in a standing position and tighten using the provided hex wrench.

Battery Door

On the back side of the pedestal, there is a small knob at the top of the battery door. Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the knob counterclockwise 90° to unlock.

Once unlocked, tip the door backwards and lift it up and out of place to remove.
- To apply the battery door, reverse this process.

Battery Insertion

There is a black power cord native to the GT1 pedestal. Ensure that the power cord is laced through the designated hole at the top of the battery holder. Screw the black power cord into the top of the battery, as depicted below.
Insert the battery into the battery holder, lifting the battery into place from below. Carefully tuck the excess cord above the battery holder up into the pedestal.
When inserted properly, the battery will click into place with the holder and the red power button and black power cord will fit comfortably in place, as indicated by their visibility and ease of access within their pre-determined slots in the battery holder.
- To remove the battery, use the supplied key to disengage the battery from the holder and reverse the steps taken for installation.

XT2+ / XT3 Insertion

Gently slide the NFC-logo head cover up to expose the handheld holder. Slide the locking clips on each side of the handheld holder to the “up” position.
Flip the handheld upside-down so that the connector is facing upward and gently slide the handheld into the handheld holder. Slide upward until the handheld’s connector makes firm contact with the holder’s connector pins.
Using one hand, continue to hold the mobile device in place. Secure the mobile device in place by sliding the clasps on top of both sides of the mobile device holder downward.
Slide the NFC / RFID plate downward into its original position.
- To remove the mobile device, reverse the steps taken for insertion.

Power On & Off

Locate the high-capacity battery on the back side of the pedestal. Remove the battery door (if applicable). At the top of the battery, there is a red power button.
On the red power button, the line symbol means “power on” and the circle symbol means “power off”. Toggle the switch to turn on or off.

Attachable Wheels

Located on the back of the pedestal base, there is a long, slightly notched section with a single hole centered about an inch from the edge. Slide the attachable wheels, with the flat side facing downwards, into this notch, sandwiching the pedestal base between the lower and upper lips of the attachable wheels. If the pedestal is unstable once attachable wheels are in position, please reinstall attachable wheels with smooth side facing downward to the floor.
Align the hole in the attachable wheels with the hole in the base of the pedestal.
Insert the attachable wheels key into the aligned holes.
Tilt the pedestal backwards to utilize attachable wheels.

Connect Battery Charger

Locate the high-capacity battery on the back side of the pedestal. Remove the battery door (if applicable). At the base of the battery, there is a port for the charger.
The battery does not need to be removed from the pedestal in order to charge. Connect the charger to the port.
