Point (AP) Charging Base
To improve the range performance of the VX 680 terminal, the Bluetooth AP Base
Station should be placed in a position that will service all of the card payment
areas in your premises. The ideal placement is to position the base station within
line of sight of all areas of card acceptance.
A Base Station may be purchased with the VX 680 terminal or purchased as a
separate option. The full-featured Base Station has two USB host ports for
external dongles as well as a battery charger slot for charging an extra Li-ion
battery pack. A standard Base Station does not have any USB ports and is
capable of charging the terminal only and not the extra battery pack.
The Modem Dongle and Serial Dongle are intended for use with the VX 680
terminal and Base Station only. They should not be installed or used with any
equipment other than the VX 680 terminal or Base Station.
