Cables
Power Supply
To disconnect cables, use the same steps described above in reverse. If
exchanging cables, use a VeriFone-approved cable. See Accessories and
Documentation for cable ordering information.
Not all UX300 configurations and device contexts require the use of a power
supply. VeriFone ships power supplies with the UX300 as required.
If you have changed the context in which the UX300 is used or have questions
about which power supply should be used, contact your VeriFone representative.
For more information, see Accessories and Documentation.
Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it to
malfunction. The power rating as listed for the various unit types is as follows:
•MDB, LAN, PSTN, and ISDN units: 9V DC to 43V DC, 4.4A
•Standard unit: 9V DC to 12V DC, 1.6A
•Petrol unit: 24V DC, 3.7A
Use only a power pack with VPN PWR159-001-01-A or CPS12490-4A-R. See
Specifications for detailed power supply specifications.
Before connecting a power supply, disconnect the power pack cord from the
power outlet.

There are three anti-removal service switches: two on the front of the card reader
(see Figure 1), and one on the back side of the unit (see Figure 3). These
switches detect any unauthorized removal attempts and trigger a sof tware event if
the unit is removed in an unauthorized manner. This does not cause any
hardware damage to the reader.
The card transaction procedure can vary depending on the application. Verify the
proper procedure with your application provider before performing a card
transaction.
The UX300 supports both magnetic stripe cards, as well as smart cards. The
following section describes how to use the device’s multi-card reader.
The device’s card reader supports both a triple-track card reader, as well as a

Transactions
Fail To Process
There are several reasons why the card reader may not be processing
transactions. Use the following steps to troubleshoot failures.
Check the Magnetic Card Reader
•Perform a test transaction using one or more different magnetic stripe cards to
ensure the problem is not a defective card.
•Ensure that you are swiping cards properly. With the card reader, the black
magnetic stripe should face down and outward, toward the outside of the
reader.
•If possible, process a transaction manually , using an external keypad, instead
of the card reader. If the manual transaction works, the problem may be a
defective reader.
•If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.
Check the Smart Card Reader
•Perform a test transaction using several different smart cards to ensure the
problem is not a defective card.

services provided by third parties. Approval does not, under any circumstances, include or imply any product warranties from PCI
SSC, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for purpose or noninfringement, all of which are
expressly disclaimed by PCI SSC. All rights and remedi es regar ding p roduc ts and se rvice s, which have r eceiv ed an ap prova l, shal l
