![OMNI 3600 TERMINAL AND OMNI 3600 BASE INSTALLATIONOmni 3600 TerminalOMNI 3600 REFERENCE MANUAL 21Antenna (SomeWireless Models)For some Omni 3600 terminals to establish a wireless connection, an external antenna is provided. This connection allows communication with your service provider to upload transaction data from the terminal and download system upgrades to the terminal. Radio service is activated by your service provider.Data transfers can also be performed through the Omni 3600 base (see Omni 3600 Base Communications Ports).This section only discusses Omni 3600 terminals with external antenna.InstallationThe Omni 3600 should arrive from manufacture with the antenna attached. If unattached, use the following procedure to install the antenna:1Locate the antenna port on the side of the Omni 3600 terminal.2Align the respective “notch” inside the antenna to the key in the terminal (Figure 18).3Push gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it locks in position.Figure 18 Antenna InstallationOrientationTo establish good wireless communication (uplink), it is important that the antenna always be vertically aligned with respect to ground and sky (Figure 19). For example, if standing and holding the terminal horizontally, position the antenna at an approximately 90° angle to the unit (that is, pointing up from the printer). This should point the antenna directly at the sky. NOTE Most Omni 3600 terminals have an internal antenna and this section can be ignored. Only use the antenna designed for your unit. Failure to use the proper antenna results in the inability to establish a wireless connection.CAUTION Never hold the unit by the antenna; doing so may break the connection and void your warranty.](https://usermanual.wiki/Verifone/OMNI3600D.User-Manual-Part-II/User-Guide-370918-Page-6.png)

Soft detentes are felt and clicks heard when positioning the antenna. These detentes maintain antenna positions of 60°, 90°, and 180°.Figure 19 Correct Antenna Position for UplinkIf an application (for example, SoftPay) is installed in your Omni 3600 unit, a signal strength indicator may appear on the display.Replace the AntennaIf your Omni 3600 terminal has difficulties completing wireless transactions, you may have to replace the antenna. Use the following procedure to replace the antenna:1Remove the existing antenna from the Omni 3600 terminal:aRotate the antenna to align with the base of the unit, pointing away from the back. bGrasp the base of the antenna, close to the body of the terminal.cPull gently out until the antenna unsnaps from the antenna port.2Align the respective notch inside the new antenna to the key in the antenna port on the terminal (Figure 18).3Push gently on the center of the base of the newly installed antenna until it locks in position.Omni 3600BaseThis section discusses the features of the Omni 3600 base, including•providing power to the Omni 3600 base,•docking the Omni 3600 terminal,•charging the smart battery in a docked terminal,•charging a spare smart battery,•establishing communications, and•connecting peripheral devices.The Omni 3600 base does not support PIN pad connections.](https://usermanual.wiki/Verifone/OMNI3600D.User-Manual-Part-II/User-Guide-370918-Page-7.png)

See Accessories and Documentation for ordering information. To charge a smart battery in the Omni 3600 base, place the smart battery into the Omni 3600 base spare smart battery dock as shown in Figure 24. The smart battery dock is keyed so that the smart battery can only be inserted in one way.Figure 24 Spare Smart Battery DockingKeep a spare smart battery charging in the Omni 3600 base battery dock to ensure that a fully charged battery is always available.On initial use, allow the Omni 3600 smart battery to charge a maximum of 4 hours and fully discharge during normal operation to ensure reliable battery operation. See Smart Battery for charge/discharge procedures. NOTE The Omni 3600 terminal will not turn off or enter sleep mode while docked on the Omni 3600 base. This ensures that the unit is not placed into sleep mode during data transfers. The unit must be turned off manually when docked on the Omni 3600 base. See Turn On/Off the Omni 3600 Terminal.NOTE Allow the spare battery to remain in the Omni 3600 base unit for a minimum of 2 hours, maximum of 4 hours to ensure the battery receives a full charge. Note that a new Li-ion battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.CAUTION 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. If the Omni 3600 base unit is not plugged in, remove the smart battery from the dock to avoid the smart battery discharging in the Omni 3600 base unit.](https://usermanual.wiki/Verifone/OMNI3600D.User-Manual-Part-II/User-Guide-370918-Page-12.png)
