SETUPExamining the Connection Port16 VX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFONECONFIDENTIALREVISION A.3 Examining theConnection PortThe terminal has one primary micro USB port used for power and download.Figure 3 Micro USB Port on the TerminalInstalling/Replacing PaperRollA fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the 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 40 mm 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. To Install/Replace aPaper Roll 1Gently pull the latch located on the bottom of the terminal to unlock the paper.2Gently lift the printer cover up and back. 3Remove any partial roll of paper in the printer tray.4Loosen the glued leading edge of the new roll of paper or remove the protective strip, if applicable. Unwind the paper roll past any glue residue.5Hold the roll so the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll when the terminal is inverted. CAUTIONPoor-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. Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at the edges in the print area.
SETUPInstalling/Replacing SIM CardVX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE 17VERIFONECONFIDENTIALREVISION A.3 6Drop the paper roll into the printer tray.Figure 4 Installing Paper Roll CoverInstalling/Replacing SIMCardVX 685 has a single SIM slot that enables communication to the network provider. VX 690 supports dual SIM. SIM slot 1 is preferred for single SIM use. When dual SIM is employed, it is ideal to use SIM cards from two different network providers. This allows the terminal to switch SIMs when it detects poor signal or no network.To Install/Replace aSIM Card 1Turn off the terminal.2Place the terminal upside down on a soft, clean surface to protect the lens from scratches. 3Lift the battery pack to expose the SIM slots.CAUTIONTo prevent damaging the print roller, always gently press down on the paper roll cover to close it.NOTEPosition the card’s gold contacts facing away from you, toward the unit. The card slot in the terminal has a set of contacts. The SIM card has a notch on one corner to ensure that it fits into the connector base in only one way.

SETUPConnecting Optional DevicesVX 685/VX 690 INSTALLATION GUIDE 21VERIFONECONFIDENTIALREVISION A.3 ConnectingOptionalDevicesThe terminal supports peripheral devices designed for use with electronic point-of-sale system such as biometric scanner and barcode reader.Figure 9 Connecting Peripheral Devices to the Terminal via the Micro USB Port Battery FeaturesThe terminal uses a single cell, 2450 mAh Li-ion battery (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering information). The internal logic of the battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging—a fault condition where the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery becomes unusable.The battery has 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.•The battery is not customer changeable and therefore should not be disconnected and removed. •Li-ion batteries are not affected by shallow charging. When the terminal has no external power source or battery, the coin cell battery provides power to the security circuit.•Disconnecting and removing the battery, as well as unplugging the terminal power pack, reduce the life of the coin cell battery, which does not recharge and must be replaced when drained.•Conserve battery power by turning the terminal off when not in use.•Keep the Li-ion battery inserted in the terminal and power up the terminal periodically to check the battery charge. Do not let the battery charge fall CAUTIONBefore connecting any peripheral device, make sure that the terminal is not powered on. Reconnect the power cord only after you are finished connecting the peripheral device(s).
