V240 I
M NSTALLATION
•
Do not use the V240m outdoors.
The V240m is not waterproof or dustproof and is intended for indoor use only. Any
damage to the unit from exposure to rain or dust can void any warranty.
•
Avoid using this product during electrical storms.
•
Do not use the V240m unit near water or in moist conditions.
•
Disconnect the device from its POS terminal before cleaning.
Due to risk of electrical shock or terminal damage, do not use the terminal near
water, including a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool. Avoid using this product during electrical
storms. Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause
excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air
conditioners, neon signs, high frequency or magnetic security devices, or electric
motors).
Avoid having metallic objects in proximity of the contactless antenna. If you need
to mount the terminal to vertical or inclined surfaces, use a flat, non-metallic
mounting plate.
Using an enclosed metal frame or mount may negatively affect contactless
performance.
The V240m and V240m Plus are handover devices. Always exercise extreme
caution when conducting transactions, especially during PIN entry:
•
Hand the terminal directly to the cardholder for PIN entry.
•
Encourage the cardholder to hold the terminal close to avoid others from
seeing the information being entered.
Verifone also recommends instructing the cardholder regarding safe PIN-entry.
This can be done with a combination of:
•
Signage on the PED
•
Prompts on the display, possibly with a click-through screen
•
Literature at the point of sale
•
A logo for safe PIN-entry process.
