Roll
CAUTION
To Install a Paper Roll
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the Vx670 terminal. Before you can
process transactions that require a receipt or record, you must install a roll of
thermal-sensitive paper in the printer.
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.
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 in the
print area.

The Vx670 terminal uses an Li-ion smart battery (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 Vx670 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.

Smart Battery
The Vx670 comes with two types of battery packs, the standard battery pack and
the high-capacity battery pack.
Standard Battery Pack
The standard battery has a capacity of 1250mAh. It is suited for WiFi and pay-attable applications where frequent charging is required.
High-Capacity Battery Pack
The high-capacity battery pack is bigger than the standard battery pack and is
more suitable for GPRS/CDMA applications.

NOTE
The following are features of the smart battery:
• Two Li-ion cells
• A fuel gauge module that
• monitors state of charge (voltage and current),
• communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and status to indicate
full discharge),
E

• determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted

NOTE
Figure 17 Detaching the Smart Battery from the V
After unpacking your Vx670 terminal, install the battery and connect the power
pack to the unit for 6 hours.
It is also recommended that the smart battery receive a periodic full discharge. To
ensure a full discharge, use the unit until the battery is fully drained.
The Vx670 terminal’s smart battery is also charged when the terminal is in the
Base Station. For more information, see Place the V
Station.
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 Vx670 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 Vx670 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.
The primary purpose of the Base Station is to charge the terminal battery and
provide a docking station for the terminal after being used in pay-at-table

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES
Transactions Fail To Process
• Ensure that you are swiping cards properly. With the V
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 23).
• 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

VeriFone Part Number 24003, Revision A.2
FCC Regulations:
zThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
zThis device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
zThe antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
4RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.211 W/kg for GSM Body SAR and
0.254 W/kg for PCS Body SAR. (Body-worn measurements differ among device
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
B32VX670GPRS.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
