Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the Vx5xx/Vx610 terminal. Before you can
process transactions that require a receipt or record, you must install a roll of
thermal-sensitive paper in the printer.
Vx610 print speed varies depending on battery charge.
The ITP uses a roll of single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper 57 millimeters (2.24
inches) wide and 25 meters (82 feet) long. A pink out-of-paper indicator line
appears on the edge of the paper approximately 18 inches before the end of the
roll. After this line appears, there is enough paper remaining on the roll to
conclude at least one transaction.
CAUTION
Poor-quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust. To order
high-quality VeriFone paper, refer to Accessories and Documentation.
Store thermal paper in a dry, dark area. Handle thermal paper carefully: impact,
friction, temperature, humidity, and oils affect the color and storage
characteristics of the paper.
Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at the edges.

Installing the Vx610 Smart Battery
Installing the
x
610 Smart
V
Battery
NOTE
Vx610 wireless terminals use Li-ion smart batteries (see Accessories and
Documentation for ordering information). The internal logic of the smart battery
prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which the
battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery
becomes unusable).
The Vx610 terminal will operate on battery power or on power pack power. The
smart battery charger in the terminal will be active whenever the power pack is
connected.
The following are features of the smart battery:
•Two Li-ion cells
•A “fuel gauge” module that
•monitors state of charge (voltage and percentage of capacity),
•communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and status),
•determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted
discharge cycle), and
•automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.
NOTE
Installation
•A safety circuit that
•prevents cell damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating
•activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended
periods.
Conserve battery power by turning the Vx610 terminal off when not in use. If the
terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal
as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.
The Vx610 smart battery fits in a slot on the back of the Vx610 terminal, as shown
in Figure 29. The locking tab clicks when the battery is in place. The slot is keyed,
so that there is only one way to insert the battery.

Charging
To remove the Vx610 smart battery, press the locking tab at the top of the battery
and pull the smart battery from its slot.
Figure 30Detaching the Smart Battery from the V
x
610 Terminal
After unpacking your Vx610 terminal, install the battery and connect the power
pack to the unit for 6 hours. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate battery status
messaging.
VeriFone also recommends that the smart battery receive a periodic full
discharge. To ensure a full discharge, use the unit until the battery is fully drained.
NOTE
Battery Life
WARNING
The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging
and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts
down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
The Vx610 terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches the
critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must be recharged for a
minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It may take several recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that
has been discharged below this critical state.
The Vx610 smart battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but
will eventually wear out. When operating times are noticeably shorter than usual,
it is time to buy a new battery (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering
information).
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Li-ion batteries must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of Li-ion batteries in municipal
waste sites.

NOTE
CAUTION
Installation
VeriFone provides an external wireless antenna for some Vx610 terminals. This
connection allows communication with your service provider to upload transaction
data from the terminal and download system upgrades to the terminal. Radio
service is activated by your service provider.
Some Vx610 terminals have an internal antenna and this section can be ignored.
Use only the antenna designed for your unit. Failure to use the proper antenna
results in the inability to establish a wireless connection.
Never hold the unit by the antenna; doing so may break the connection and void
your warranty.
This section only discusses Vx610 terminals with external antenna. If the Vx610
arrives from manufacture with the antenna unattached, use the following
procedure to install the antenna:

If paper jams inside the printer:
•Press the button on the side of the terminal to unlatch the paper roll cover,
then open the cover.
•Remove the damaged paper from the paper roll and clear the feed
mechanism.
•Install a roll of printer paper, as described in Installing the Paper Roll in the
Printer.
•If the problem persists, it may be due to poor paper quality. Install a new
roll of higher-quality paper.
Poor-quality paper may jam the printer. To order high-quality VeriFone paper,
refer to Accessories and Documentation.
If the keypad does not respond properly:
•Check the terminal display. If it displays the wrong character or nothing at all
when you press a key, follow the steps outlined in Transactions Fail To
Process.

•If pressing a function key does not perform the expected action, refer to the
user documentation for that application to ensure you are entering data
correctly.
•If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.
If any peripheral device (PINpad or smart card reader) does not work properly:
•Check the power cord connection to the peripheral device.
•Check that the device connected to the proper port has power and is
functioning properly. If possible, perform a self-test on the device in question.
•The cable connecting the optional device to the terminal serial port may be
defective. Try a different serial cable. See Connecting Optional Device(s).
•If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.
There are several reasons why the terminal 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 on the card should face down and inward, toward the keypad
and must be inserted from the top of the terminal (see Figure 45).
•Process a transaction manually, using the keypad instead of the card reader. If
the manual transaction works, the problem may be a defective card reader.
•Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.
•If the manual transaction does not work, proceed to Check the Telephone
Line.
Check the Smart Card Reader
•Perform a test transaction using several different smart cards to ensure the
problem is not a defective card.
•Ensure that the card is inserted correctly and that the card is not removed
prematurely.

•Ensure the MSAM cards are properly inserted in the cardholders and that the
cardholders are properly secured (see Installing/Replacing MSAM Cards).
•Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.
•If the manual transaction does not process, proceed to Check the Telephone
Line.
Check the Telephone Line
•Disconnect the telephone line from the terminal and connect it to a working
telephone to check for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, replace the
telephone cable.
•If the problem appears to be with the telephone line, check with the party you
are trying to call to see if their system is operational. If they are not
experiencing difficulties with their line, contact the telephone company and
have your line checked.
•If the telephone line works, contact your local VeriFone representative for
assistance.
If the printer does not work properly:
•Check battery status or terminal power connection. The printer will not print if
there is an insufficient charge remaining in the battery to complete the print
x
operation. (For V
610 terminals only.)
•Check if the printer is out of paper and that the roll is properly installed. Open
the paper roll cover and install a new roll of printer paper or ensure that the roll
is feeding from the bottom.
•Verify that the printer roller and paper roll dust cover are properly installed.
•If the problem persists, contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.
