TERMINAL SETUPUsing the Smart Battery32 VX680 INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFONECONFIDENTIALREVISION A.3 Using the SmartBatteryThe Vx680 terminal uses a 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). Smart BatteryFeaturesThe 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.•A safety circuit that:•prevents cell damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating, and•activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended periods.NOTE The Vx680 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.NOTE •Lithium-ion batteries are not affected by shallow charging. Furthermore, when the terminal has no external power source or smart battery, the coin cell battery provides power to the security circuit.•Uninstalling the battery and unplugging the terminal power pack reduce the life of the coin cell battery, which does not recharge and must be replaced if drained.•Conserve battery power by turning the Vx680 terminal off when not in use. If the terminal is not to be used for an extended period of time, keep the Lithium-ion battery inserted in the terminal, and power up the terminal periodically to check the battery charge. Do not let the battery charge fall below 10% for extended periods of time as this may permanently diminish the battery capacity. Recharge the battery by attaching the power cable to the terminal and plugging the power pack into a wall outlet.
TERMINAL SETUPBattery Behavior (No Power Cable)VX680 INSTALLATION GUIDE 33VERIFONECONFIDENTIALREVISION A.3 Battery Behavior(No PowerCable)If you connect the Vx680 to a non-battery power source, the terminal shifts to cabled power mode and starts up automatically, regardless of the battery charge state.Manual StartupHold the green key down for about 4 seconds until the terminal displays the startup screen.When the terminal has power, the terminal lights are activated and the green LED indicator remains lit. Manual ShutdownHold the red key down for about 4 seconds until the terminal displays the shutdown verification screen. Keep holding the red key until the Vx680 terminal shuts down.NOTE The 4-second power-up delay is for preventing terminal startup if the green key is accidentally held down. The time required to hold the green key down to power up the terminal is configurable (for more information, see the Vx680 Reference Manual – VPN DOC268-004-EN-A).NOTE If an application is loaded in the terminal, it starts after the initial VeriFone copyright screen and usually displays a unique copyright screen. If no application is loaded in the terminal, DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on screen after the initial VeriFone copyright screen.NOTE •The 4-second shutdown delay is for preventing terminal shutdown if the red key is accidentally held down. The time required to hold the red key down to shut down the terminal is configurable (for more information, see the Vx680 Reference Manual – VPN DOC268-004-EN-A).•When the terminal has no power, the screen is blank and the green LED indicator is not lit.

(See Chapter 3,Specifications for detailed power supply specifications.) Obtain the appropriately rated power supply before continuing with troubleshooting.WARNING Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the terminal outdoors. During a transaction, disconnecting the power by removing the battery or unplugging the terminal from a wall power while at very low battery charge may cause transaction data files not yet stored in the terminal memory to be lost.NOTE To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges, consider installing a power surge protector.
TERMINAL SETUPCharging the Smart Battery36 VX680 INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFONECONFIDENTIALREVISION A.3 If an application is loaded in the terminal, it starts after the initial VeriFone copyright screen and usually displays a unique copyright screen. If no application is loaded in the terminal, DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on screen after the initial VeriFone copyright screen.Charging theSmart BatteryAfter unpacking your Vx680 terminal, install the battery and connect the power pack to the unit for 6 hours or until fully charged. 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.Battery LifeThe Vx680 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).NOTE The Vx680 terminal’s smart battery is also charged when the terminal is in the Base Station. For more information, see Placing the Terminal Onto the Base Station. NOTE The Vx680 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.WARNING 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.

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: B32VX680GPRSCTLS. 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.
