Use the M26-D10-00 USB Modem Dongle to provide the Vx680 terminal with modem communication over a telephone line at speeds of up to 33,600 bp s. It can also be connected to the full-feature Base Station when the terminal is in the station (see Attaching the USB Dongles to the Base Station).
The USB Serial Dongle (VPN M267-D01-00) may be purchased with the Vx680 terminal. It is designed to accommodate the RJ45 connector. The USB Serial Dongle can also be connected to the full-feature Base S tation wh en the terminal is placed in the station (see Attaching the USB Dongles to the Base Station).
A Base Station may be purchased with the Vx680 terminal or purchased as a separate option full-feature Base Station has two USB host ports for external dongles as well as a battery charger slot for charging an extra lithium-ion battery pack. A standard Base Station does not have any USB ports and is capable of charging the terminal only and not the extra battery pack.

Installing the
Paper Roll
CAUTION
To Install a Paper Roll
V
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the Vx680 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 38 millimeters in diameter. 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.

When the spare battery is installed in the base for charging, the Base LED will flash amber if the battery is charging, or stay solid green if the battery is fully charged. If the battery is not charged and the LED does not flash amber, check the contacts on the battery and in the terminal base to make sure they are clean. Also, try charging a known good battery to see if the problem is with the base or with the battery. If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.

680 terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must recharge 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.

FCC Regulations:
This mobile 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.
This mobile 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.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF 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 mobile 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 use when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.468 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: B32VX680GPRS.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
