Select a
Location
This section provides tips on using and protecting your Omni 3600 terminal, and
location recommendations for the Omni 3600 base.
Omni 3600
Terminal
The Omni 3600 is a portable terminal for performing transactions remotely. Since
it is a portable unit, location is not a factor however, follow the rules established in
the Environment and Convenience sections.
Omni 3600 Base A prime location for the Omni 3600 base is a counter or other flat surface that
provides easy access to a power outlet and phone jack. Also, follow the rules
established in the Environment and Convenience sections.
Environment
•Do not use the Omni 3600 terminal or Omni 3600 base where there is
moisture or high humidity, chemicals or oils, or excessive heat or dust.
•Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that emit excessive
voltage fluctuations or electrical noise (for example, air conditioners, electric
motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security devices, or computer
equipment).
•Never place the terminal in direct sunlight.
WARNING Do not leave this terminal in an non-climate-controlled
vehicle. The Omni 3600 terminal is highly sensitive to
temperature extremes. Subjecting the terminal to temperatures
outside the stated operating range can void your warranty.
INTRODUCTION
Select a Location
8OMNI 3600 INSTALLATION GUIDE
•Keep the Omni 3600 terminal and Omni 3600 base away from anything that
radiates heat, such as a stove or motor.
•Ensure when transmitting over the radio modem that you are not near
appliances that emit a lot of electrostatic “noise,” (for example, refrigerators or
generators) and that you are in an area where you have a “clear” radio-
frequency path.
Convenience Omni 3600 Terminal
Keep the Omni 3600 terminal with you to perform transactions. When plugging the
Omni 3600 terminal into the power pack, ensure that the unit is placed close
enough to a power outlet so that the power cable readily reaches the unit. For
safety, do not string the power cable in a walkway or place across a walkway on
the floor.
Omni 3600 Base
Locate the Omni 3600 base so that you can readily dock the Omni 3600 terminal
on the cradle for recharging and downloading. Again, for safety, ensure that the
power cable readily reaches the Omni 3600 base unit, so as not to trip or interfere
in any way in a busy location.
Safety Concerns Use the following guidelines to ensure your safety and the safety of others:
•Do not string the power and phone cables in a walkway or place across a
walkway on the floor.
•Do not use the Omni 3600 terminal or Omni 3600 base near water, including a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
•Avoid using the Omni 3600 terminal or Omni 3600 base during electrical
storms.
•Use only batteries and power packs approved by VeriFone.
CAUTION Do not use the Omni 3600 base outdoors. It is for indoor use only, and is not
waterproof or dustproof. Damage to the unit from exposure to sun, rain, or dust
may void your warranty.
WARNING Do not use the Omni 3600 terminal or Omni 3600 base near water, including a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool. Avoid using these products during electrical storms.
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.

Smart Battery The Omni 3600 wireless 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).
NOTE Install a power surge protector to protect against possible damage caused by
lightning strikes and electrical surges.
WARNING
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet.
OMNI 3600 TERMINAL
Smart Battery
12 OMNI 3600 INSTALLATION GUIDE
The following are features of the smart battery:
•Two Li-ion cells
•A fuel gauge module
•monitors state of charge (voltage and current),
•communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and alarms to
indicate full discharge),
•determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted
discharge cycle), and
•automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.
•A safety circuit
•prevents cell damage from overcharge/over-discharge,
•activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended
periods, and
•resets when battery voltage reaches a preset threshold during the charge
cycle.
Refer to Spare Smart Battery Pack for smart battery instructions for the
Omni 3600 terminal on the Omni 3600 base.
Smart Battery
Installation
The smart battery installs in a slot on the back of the terminal, as shown in
Figure 4. 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.
CAUTION Note that a new Li-ion battery’s full performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.
On initial use, allow the Omni 3600 smart battery to charge 4 hours,
then fully discharge during normal operation, to ensure reliable battery
operation.
NOTE Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 3600 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.
NOTE The smart battery pack must be installed and holding a minimum of a 1% charge
to operate the Omni 3600 terminal.

To remove the smart battery, press the locking tab at the top of the battery and
pull the smart battery from its slot.
Smart Battery
Charging
On initial use, the smart battery must be fully charged and fully discharged
through normal operation. After unpacking your Omni 3600 terminal, install the
battery and connect the power pack to the unit for 4 hours. Disconnect the power
pack and allow your Omni 3600 terminal to remain on until the smart battery
completely discharges. Reconnect the power pack to the unit and allow the smart
battery to recharge a maximum of 4 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.
To determine the charge state of the battery, push the “test button” icon (shown in
Figure 5) on the bottom of the battery. The bar LED status indicators on the
battery each indicate 25% of the charge state. When the battery charge state
reaches 10%, the LED (Figure 5) blinks, indicating a low-charge state. The
battery charge state displays at the bottom of the first copyright screen when the
terminal is turned on.
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 and none of the indicator LEDs (see Figure 5) on the battery
pack blink. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
NOTE Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 3600 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.
NOTE The Omni 3600 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 make take several
recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that
has reached a critically low charge state.

Smart Battery Life To ensure that you get the longest possible performance from the smart battery, it
must be allowed to fully discharge periodically. The 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).
Turn On/Off the
Omni 3600
Terminal
When the smart battery completes its initial charge, turn on the Omni 3600
terminal by pressing the green ENTER/ON key (icon at left) for approximately 3 sec.
The display screen lights and displays the initial VeriFone copyright screen. If an
application is loaded in the terminal, it starts after the initial VeriFone copyright
screen and displays a unique (copyright) screen. If no application is loaded in the
terminal, appears on screen after the initial VeriFone copyright
screen.
Turn off the Omni 3600 terminal by pressing the red CANCEL/OFF key (icon at left)
continuously until the cancel tone is heard (approximately 4 sec.). First a series of
beeps is heard, then the cancel tone. The unit then shuts off.
Paper
Installation
The internal thermal printer uses a roll of single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper 58
millimeters (2.25 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.
