Smart Card Cleaning
The Smart Card Reader (SCR) must be cleaned regularly, as dirt
accumulation can lead to SCR reading problems. SCR can be cleaned
using commercially available card reader cleaning cards or using
recommended Verifone cleaning card (PN 02746-02).
Cleaning the SCR
To clean the SCR:
1.
Inspect the device’s SCR for the presence of foreign objects
before the cleaning Customer Smart Card.
a If the unit shows no presence of foreign objects, test the SCR
function and record results. Proceed to Step 2.
CAUTION
Send your device to a Verifone authorized repair center if foreign objects are
found in the SCR at any time during SCR inspection, test diagnostics, or
cleaning process. Removal of foreign objects from the SCR by customers may
void the device warranty.
2.
Clean the SCR with an approved or recommended Verifone
cleaning card. It is always advised to use new cleaning cards at all
times.
3.
Test the SCR after cleaning.
a If SCR tests out okay as “passing”, then the unit is ready for
Customer Smart Card use.
b If SCR tests out as “failing”, then send the unit for repair. Provide
details to repair center when SCR fails to test, either before
cleaning OR after cleaning OR both before and after cleaning.
NOTE
If using a commercially available cleaning card use ONLY an approved SCR
cleaning card made specically for POS SCR devices or Petroleum SCR.
