V205 I
C NSTALLATION
•
Do not use the V205c outdoors.
The V205c 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 V205c 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.
Use the following techniques to provide effective screening of PIN-entry devices
(PEDs) during the PIN entry process. You can use these methods in combination,
although in some cases a single method might suffice:
•
Position the terminal on the check-in stand in such a way as to block visual
observation of the PIN-entry process. Examples include:
•
Visual shields designed into the check-in stand. The shields may be solely
for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check stand design.
•
Position the PED so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is
difficult.
•
Install the PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the
terminal sideways and/or tilt it forwards/backwards to a position that makes
visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.
•
Position in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible.
