V240 I
M NSTALLATION
•
Do not use the unit where there is high heat, dust, humidity, moisture, or
caustic chemicals or oils.
•
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat, such
as a stove or a motor.
•
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 the risk of electric shock or damage to the terminal, do not use this
equipment near a water source, for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. Likewise, avoid
using this product during thunderstorms causing power cuts. Avoid placing the
terminal near electrical devices or other units that could cause large voltage
fluctuations or electrical interference, such as air conditioners, neon signs, high
frequency safety devices or electrical equipment.
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 with a click-through screen
•
Literature at the point of sale
•
A logo for safe PIN-entry process.
