VX 820 INSTALLATION GUIDE 7
CHAPTER 1
Overview
This chapter provides a brief description of VeriFone’s VX 820.
VX 820
The VX 820 takes the most usable and ergonomic hand-held PIN pad payment
device and takes it to a new level by adding a color touchscreen display, a larger
keypad, and integrated contactless capability. It is designed to fit in a variety of
payment environments to suit nearly any need. With VeriFone’s patent-pending
MAXui design, enhanced with a robust 3.5” color QVGA display, and larger blue
backlit keys, the device is easy to use under any lighting conditions. A tapered
design and ergonomically balanced midpoint help the VX 820 fit comfortably in
even the smallest hands, and the rugged design holds up to the most demanding
conditions.
The VX 820 is a programmable device, allowing a custom or EMV-approved
transaction application to run from the PCI PED 3.0-compliant PIN pad, either to
meet local regulatory requirements or relieve the ECR or terminal of this task.
