BEFORE USE

Important

NOTE! If these instructions are not followed and the terminal is damaged it will void the warranty!

  • Protect the power cord and modem. If they are damaged they are not to be used anymore.
  • The terminal is not waterproof or dustproof, and is intended for indoor use only.
  • The warranty of the terminal will void if it is exposed to water or dust.
  • Do not use the terminal next to water or moist areas.
  • Do not use below 0°C degrees.
  • Never place anything inside the chip slot or connection ports that are not meant there. This might seriously damage the terminal.
  • If the terminal is damaged contact Verifone's maintenance service. Never try to fix the terminal by yourself.
  • Use only appropriate paper with the terminal's printer. Poor quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust.
  • Never use thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents- they may cause deterioration of plastic or rubber parts. Do not spray cleaners or other solutions directly onto the keypad.
  • Always shut down the terminal before removing the battery.
  • Disconnecting the power during a transaction may cause transaction data files not yet stored in terminal memory to be lost.
  • The terminals Li-ion –battery is not hazardous waste. Do not dispose the battery with combustible wastes. The battery should be recycled with other hazardous wastes or delivered to the terminal supplier for disposal.

PA-DSS –Standard

The purpose of the PA-DSS –standard is to help software suppliers develop, according to the PCIDSS requirements, payment solutions which do not save forbidden card information such as the CVV2 or the PIN-code.

Companies must use solutions for card payment processing that are approved according to the PCI-DSS –standard.

Connecting the cables

Connecting the cables
In order to access the connection ports, remove the cover.

Connecting the power cord

Connecting the cables - Connecting the power cord
Connect the power cord into the left port on the bottom of the terminal. Connect the power cord to the power supply and the plug to the electrical outlet.

Connecting the Ethernet cable

Connecting the Ethernet cable

Connect the ethernet cable to the ETH-port at the bottom of the terminal. The other end of the cable is connected either to a broadband modem or plug.

Battery

Battery - Attaching the battery
The battery is attached by placing it on its slot and pressing it downwards.

Battery - Removing the battery
To remove the battery, press the locking tab and pull the battery from its slot.

During normal use, the battery should be loaded when its indicator ("B") shows 20% or less. The terminal starts charging the battery when it is connected to the power cord. The battery indicator disappears from the display when the power cord is connected. The terminal can be connected to the power cord at all times; this does not affect the battery. It is recommended to keep the terminal connected to the power cord during night time. This will charge the battery so that it is fully charged at the start of the next work day, and also ensures the success of automatic batch sendings during the night.

SIM-card

Terminals which use GPRS-connection have a SIM-card. Before inserting the SIM-card inside the terminal, disable the PIN-code query.

The SIM-card operator's APN information is inserted to the GPRS APN menu in the terminal. The APN information is set to INTERNET by default, change this if needed.

Installing the SIM-card
The SIM-card is placed beneath the battery so that the chip is facing down and the folded corner points downwards.

Switching the paper

  • Pull the printer covers eject button upwards, so that it opens.
    Switching the paper - Step 1 - Open the cover
  • Remove the previous paper roll from the printer tray.

Online transactions

General information on online transactions

Online batch is a function which sends information on each payment transaction to the real-time database of the Verifone reporting service. This is to prevent the loss of information from the payment terminal.

Online batch

During possible connection problems payment transactions cannot be sent forward after they have been made. The online batch gathers the successful transactions to the terminal's memory

Online batch settings enable you to choose the maximum sum and number of transactions in the terminal memory. After the maximum is reached from either limit, the transactions must be sent forward before taking new transactions.

  • ONLINE QUEUE AMOUNT = The maximum sum of the transactions in queue. After this amount is reached, the terminal will send all of the transactions in queue (e.g. 2,000 euros).
  • ONLINE QUEUE COUNT = The maximum number of the transactions in queue. After this number is reached, the terminal will send all of the transactions in queue (e.g. 20).

The largest possible sum is 999999,99 €. The largest possible number is 40.
NOTE! If you wish to edit these settings, please contact Verifone's customer service

Verifone reporting

Verifone reporting is a transaction collecting system by Verifone, which enables companies to monitor their centralized money flow. The service offers a customer-specific website that makes the centralized management possible for companies. Verifone reporting gathers transactions from terminals into different groups determined by the customer. The transactions are sent from the service to the customer's bank every day. The banks payments appear in the company's account with the Verifone reporting group names. A group-specific reference can be determined for the bank payments. This makes it easier for financial management programs to target specific payments.

A customer needs only one contract to enable all their terminals to be linked to Verifone reporting. Terminals linked to the service do not require installment of PATU-keys from the bank. The customer-specific websites for the system are encrypted with the same method as online bank services. The connection between a client's web browser and Verifone reporting is encrypted (https). Users log in to the service with three different identification information's: username, fixed password and a variable password from a password list.

For further information about Verifone reporting, contact Verifone's sales department:
