FCC Part 15 Requirements
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
installed and operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate 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.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.
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 the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your representative or an experienced technician
for help.
Connection of peripherals to this unit requires the use of
grounded, shielded cables to ensure compliance with the
Class B limits.
This 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.

7. Connecting to a POS Terminal or
ECR
The QX100 includes an integrated power/communication cable,
which has either an RS-232 plug or a USB plug at one end for
connection to a POS terminal or ECR (or PC-POS).
There is also an optional RS-232–9-pin D type connection/power
cable, that allows you to plug a contactless reader with the
RS-232 cable into a PC-POS as well as an external power
supply. This can be used with a host device that is not capable
of supplying power through the connector cable.
Caution
•
•
Turn off the POS terminal or ECR whenever you
connect or disconnect the contactless reader.
Do not disconnect the contactless reader when the
POS terminal or ECR is processing data.
Note
Refer to the documentation of the device to which the
reader is to be connected for specific connection
instructions.
To connect to a POS terminal or ECR:
1. Disconnect the POS terminal or ECR from its electrical
power supply.
2. Insert the contactless reader RS-232 or USB plug into the
RJ-45 (COM) or USB connector on the POS terminal or ECR.
3. Reconnect the POS terminal, ECR, or PC-POS to its
electrical power supply.

power connector on the back of the D-type plug.
5. Connect the AC/DC power adapter to an AC electrical
outlet.
6. Reconnect the PC-POS terminal or ECR to its electrical
power supply.
Warning
Do not plug the AC/DC power adapter into an outdoor
electrical power outlet.
Caution
It is recommended that you install a power surge
arrestor at the power outlet to prevent possible
damage caused by electrical spikes or local lightning
strikes.

Installation Manual
QX100
Caution
Use a safety-approved Limited Power Supply (LPS)
adapter.
Note
The external power connection is only needed when
there is no power supply via the serial port.
Note
It is recommended to use the VeriFone-supplied AC/DC
power adapter, which provides electrical power to the

8. Mounting the Contactless Reader
The QX100 is able to lie flat, at a 180° angle, with two key holes
on the bottom panel for mounting the reader on a wall.
Note
When mounting the contactless reader, it must be
close enough to the POS terminal or ECR, for the
connecting cables, and in an easily accessible location
for the customer.
Note
The recommended screws for mounting the QX100 are
flat head screws with a thread diameter of
approximately 4 mm (0.157 in) and head diameter of
approximately 8 mm (0.315 in).
Note
The manual includes a drilling pattern in the back, for
your convenience.
To mount the QX100:
1. Drill two holes in the wall for screws, with a 5.5 cm
(2.165 in) between them, according to the drilling pattern.
2. Insert wall inserts with screws.
3. Adjust the mounting screw heads until they are firmly in
place.
4. Take the reader and face the bottom of the base towards
the wall, with the narrow part of the key hole facing
upwards.
5. Push the base, so that the mounting holes at the bottom of
the base are around the screw heads.

Startup of the QX100
The QX100 starts up automatically when:
• The reader is plugged into a terminal with a power source,
and the terminal is first powered-up.
• The reader is first plugged into an electrical outlet.
To recognize the QX100 is powered-up:
1. The reader’s lights being activated, blinking from left to
right, sequentially.
2. The lights are then followed by a short audio indication.
3. The LEDs go to their “ready for the next transaction” state.
LED Indicator Status
Note
The LED indicator colors are credit card application
dependent. For information on what cards are
accepted and which application is being used, contact
your local VeriFone service provider.
There are two common color schemes for the LED indicators.
