Managing the
Power Supply
Before connecting a power supply, disconnect the power pack cord from the
power outlet.
Connect and route all cables between the VX 820 DUET, ECR, and PC before
plugging the power pack cord into a wall outlet or surge protector.
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the VX 820 DUET
outdoors. Also, disconnecting power during a transaction can cause transaction
data files not yet stored in memory to be lost.
To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical
surges, VeriFone recommends installing a power surge protector.
