JANAM GT1 Self Mobile Entry Head Unit
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 eliminated 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
| 1 | Upon unboxing, you’ll notice that GT1 is folded in half. |
| 2 | Remove the single screws on both sides of the pedestal while in the folded position. Raise the folded top half of GT1, bending it at the hinge until the stem of the pedestal is fully vertical. |
| 3 | 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
| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | Once unlocked, tip the door backwards and lift it up and out of place to remove. |
| To apply the battery door, reverse this process. |
