If your Spire Bluetooth POS terminal displays the message "Terminal needs to be initialized," follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Turn off and restart: First, completely turn off the Spire Bluetooth POS terminal by pressing the power button, then turn it back on.

  4. Contact support: If the issue persists after following the steps above, please contact our support team directly by phone.
