# Requirements to Pair your Register

What is the **exact Security Alert / pairing message** shown on the register?

Reply with the exact message you see on your POS/Register, for example:

* `SEC. ALERT – PAIRING`
* `SEC. ALERT – PAIRING REQUIRED`
* `SEC. ALERT – PAIRING INVALID`

***

**Another Scenario: Register was already rebooted (POS Pairing prompt)**

* **When you’ll see this:** After reboot, before pairing is completed.
* **What it means:** The register stays closed until pairing finishes.

**On-screen message**

### Requirements to Pair your Register <a href="#requirements" id="requirements"></a>

**You need the Configuration Client to complete these steps. You can do this in one of two ways:**

1. Use a **second POS (register)** terminal. Alternatively,
2. Use your **Back-office PC**, but the Configuration Client must be installed on it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have only **One register** and **No Back-office PC**, you will need to contact the **Verifone Helpdesk** via **Chat or phone** at **1.800.VERIFONE(837.4366)** for **Pairing your register.**
