NOTE
CHAPTER 1
This chapter provides a brief description of the Verifone Carbon system, a
modular merchant- and consumer-facing device, enabling use as a handheld or
stand-mounted payment solution.
Features and
Benefits
Connectivity
Verifone Carbon provides magnetic-stripe card reader (MSR), smart card (SC)
and contactless (CTLS) payment processing with a 5-inch (12.7 cm) color TFT
capacitive touch panel LCD screen, integrated with a 10 or 8 inch (25.4 or 20.32
cm) tablet. The Printer Stand provides additional expansion options (such as a bar
code scanner and weighing scale), connectivity features (USB, MOD 10, telco and
RJ45) as well as power charging and an optional internal thermal printer (ITP)..

Use the following guidelines when selecting a location for your device.
E
R
•Select a location convenient for both merchant and cardholder.
•Select a flat support surface, such as a countertop or table.
•Select a location near a power outlet and a network, telephone, or modem line
connection.
•For safety, do not string the power cord in a walkway or place it across a
walkway on the floor.
•The unit must be used in an attended environment.
•Do not use the terminal 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 motor.

SETUP
CAUTION
Unpacking the Shipping Carton
•Do not use the unit outdoors.
The Verifone Carbon is not waterproof or dustproof, and is intended for indoor
use only.
Any damage to the unit from exposure to rain or dust may void any warranty.
Electrical
Considerations
PIN Protection
Measures
•Avoid using the Verifone Carbon during electrical storms.
•Place the Verifone Carbon 10 cm away from metallic objects to avoid
interference with the CTLS field.
•Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause
excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air
conditioners, electric motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security
devices, or computer equipment).
•Do not use the terminal near water or in moist conditions.
You can employ several techniques for effective PIN entry screening on the
keypad. Use the following methods in combination or singly, as necessary:
•Position the Verifone Carbon on the printer stand in such a way as to make
visual observation of the PIN entry process infeasible. Examples include:
•Visual shields designed into the check-stand. These shields may be solely
for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check-stand design.
•Position the Verifone Carbon so that it is angled in such a way that PIN

spying is difficult.
R
•Position the in-store security cameras so that PIN entry is not visible.

Unpacking the
Shipping Carton
To unpack the
shipping carton
•Use signage to limit the view of the Verifone Carbon to just that of the
cardholder.
•Offer PIN security literature at the point of sale.
Open the shipping carton and carefully inspect its contents for possible tampering
or shipping damage. The Verifone Carbon is a secure product and any tampering
may cause the device to cease to function properly.
1Validate the authenticity of the sender by verifying the shipping tracking
number and other information located on the product order paperwork.
2Remove and inspect the following items:
•Verifone Carbon terminal integrated with 10- or 8-inch tablet
•Stand with or without Printer
•Power pack
•Telephone line cord
•Paper roll
