Installing the Paper Roll
Installing the
Paper Roll
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the Vx680 terminal. Before you can
process transactions that require a receipt or record, you must install a roll of
thermal-sensitive paper in the printer.
The ITP uses a roll of single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper 57 millimeters (2.24
inches) wide and 38 millimeters in diameter. 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.
CAUTION Poor-quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust. To order
high-quality VeriFone paper, refer to Accessories and Documentation.
Store thermal paper in a dry, dark area. Handle thermal paper carefully: impact,
friction, temperature, humidity, and oils affect the color and storage
characteristics of the paper.

Using the Smart Battery
Using the Smart
Battery
NOTE
The 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).
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.
Smart Battery The following are features of the smart battery:
Features
• Two Li-ion cells
V NF
•
•
NOTE
32
VX680 INSTALLATION GUIDE
•
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.
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 Lithiumion 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.

operation.
V NF
NOTE
•
•
Allow the Vx680 terminal to remain connected to the power pack for 6 hours
to ensure the battery receives a full charge.
•
Lithium-ion batteries are not affected by shallow charging. Furthermore, when
the terminal has no external power source or 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 will not be used for an extended period of time, keep the Lithiumion 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.
•
Spare Battery in
Base Station Will

VX680 INSTALLATION GUIDE
The Vx680 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 may take several
recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery
that has been discharged below this critical state.
When the spare battery is installed in the base for charging, the Base LED will
flash amber if the battery is charging, or stay solid green if the battery is fully
charged. If the battery is not charged and the LED does not flash amber, check
the contacts on the battery and in the terminal base to make sure they are clean.
Also, try charging a known good battery to see if the problem is with the base or
with the battery. If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone
representative.

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: B32VX680GPRS.
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.
