VERIFO N E
CONF I DENTIAL
REVISION A.6
Selecting a
Location
Use the following guidelines when selecting a location for your e315.
To select a location
•Select a location convenient for both merchant and cardholder.
•Select a location that is far from heavy metal objects.

caustic chemicals or oils.
•Keep the device away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat,
such as a stove or motor.
•Do not use the device outdoors.
Personal Security
Considerations
The e315 is a handover device and personal security is significantly impacted by
the carholder entering the PIN.
•Hand the e315 directly to the cardholder for them to enter their PIN.
•Encourage the cardholder to hold the e315 close to avoid allowing others to
see the information entered.
Electrical
Considerations
•Avoid using this product during electrical storms.
•Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause
excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air
conditioners, electric motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security
devices, or computer equipment).
•Do not use the device near water or in moist conditions.
WARNING
For safety, do not string cables or cords across a walkway.
CAUTION
The device is not waterproof or dustproof, and is intended for indoor use only.
Any damage to the unit from exposure to rain or dust may void any warranty.

Battery Behavior
(No Power
Cable)
When operating on the e315’s battery alone, the e315 allows for power to the iPod
5 or the iPhone 5 device as long as the e315 battery exceeds 80% charge.
At any time during charging, you can override these defaults and enable pass-
through power to the iPod/iPhone by pressing the Enter+3 key combination, but
this causes the e315 to shutdown.

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 e315 card reader, the
black magnetic stripe on the card should face down and inward, toward the
iPod/iPhone and must be inserted from the top of the device (see Figure 10).
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.
