When the terminal has power, the terminal lights are activated and the LED
indicator remains lit.
If an application is loaded in the terminal, it starts after the initial VeriFone
copyright screen and usually displays a unique copyright screen. If no application
is loaded in the terminal,
DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on screen after the initial
VeriFone copyright screen.
Charging the
Smart Battery
(VX 520 GPRS
Only)
After unpacking your VX 520 GPRS terminal, install the battery and connect the
power pack to the unit for 6 hours or until fully charged.
The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging
and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts
down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
Battery Life
The VX 520 GPRS smart battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times, but will eventually wear out. When operating times are noticeably shorter
than usual, it is time to buy a new battery (see Accessories and Documentation for
ordering information).
WARNING
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the terminal
outdoors.
Disconnecting the power during a transaction may cause transaction data files
not yet stored in terminal memory to be lost.
To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical
surges, consider installing a power surge protector.
NOTE
VeriFone recommends connecting wall power in the following order:
1 Connect the terminal to the power supply.
2 Connect the power supply to the power cord.
3 Connect the power cord to the wall outlet.
NOTE
The VX 520 GPRS terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery
reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must be
recharged for 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.
WARNING
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Li-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Do not dispose of Li-ion batteries in municipal waste sites.
