Do not string cables or cords across a walkway for safety. ### Periodic Inspection * Periodically inspect the terminal for possible tampering. Signs of tampering may include: * Wires that are protruding from the device. * Foreign objects inserted into the smart card or mag stripe slot. * Signs of damage to the tamper-evident label. * Warning message on the device display. {% hint style="info" %} If any device is found in a tampered state, please remove it immediately from service. Keep it available for potential forensic investigation and notify your company security officer and your local Verifone representative or service provider. For more information on contacting Verifone, refer to [Service and Support](/hardware-products/hardware/android-devices/p630-series/p630/p630-installation-guide/service-and-support.md). {% endhint %} ### Environmental Factors * Do not use the unit where there is high heat, dust, humidity, moisture, caustic chemicals, or oils. * Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat, such as a stove or a motor. * Do not use the terminal outdoors. {% hint style="warning" %} The terminal is not waterproof or dustproof. It is intended for indoor use only. Any damage to the unit from exposure to rain or dust can void any warranty. *Le terminal n'est ni étanche ni étanche à la poussière. Il est destiné à un usage intérieur uniquement. Tout dommage causé à l'appareil par une exposition à la pluie ou à la poussière peut annuler toute garantie.* {% endhint %} ### Electrical Considerations * Avoid using this product during electrical storms. * Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air conditioners, electric motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security devices, or computer equipment). * Do not use the terminal near water or in moist conditions. * Disconnect the device from its POS terminal before cleaning. {% hint style="danger" %} Do not use the terminal near water, including a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool to avoid shock or damage. *N'utilisez pas le terminal à proximité d'eau, y compris d'une baignoire, d'un lavabo, d'un évier de cuisine ou d'une cuve à lessive, dans un sous-sol humide ou à proximité d'une piscine pour éviter les chocs ou les dommages.* {% endhint %} ### Contactless Considerations Avoid having metallic objects in the proximity of a contactless antenna. If you need to mount the terminal to vertical or inclined surfaces, use a flat, non-metallic mounting plate. {% hint style="warning" %} Using an enclosed metal frame or mount may negatively affect contactless performance. *L'utilisation d'un cadre ou d'un support métallique fermé peut affecter négativement les performances sans contact.* {% endhint %} ## PIN Protection Measures Use the following techniques to provide effective screening of PIN-Entry Devices (PEDs) during the PIN-entry process. You can use these methods in combination, although in some cases a single method might suffice. * Position the terminal on the check-in stand in such a way as to block visual observation of the PIN-entry process. Examples include: * Visual shields designed on the check-in stand. The shields may be solely for shielding purposes or may be part of the general check-in stand design. * Position the terminal so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is difficult. * Install the PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the terminal sideways and/or tilt it forward/backward to a position that makes visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult. * Position in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible. * In an attended handheld (or handover) mode, the users can pivot their bodies around to shield the device and block it from any prying eyes. The following table describes the two preferred mounting methods and the recommended measures to protect against PIN capture in four observation corridors: | Method | Cashier | Customer in Queue | Customers Elsewhere | On-site Cameras | | ------------------------ | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | Countertop without stand | Use signage behind the PED | Install so that the customer is between PED and next in the queue | No action needed | Do not install within view of cameras | | Countertop with stand | No action needed | Install so that the customer is between PED and next in the queue | No action needed | Do not install within view of cameras | Verifone also recommends instructions to the cardholder regarding safe PIN-entry. This can be done with a combination of: * Signage on the PED. * Prompts on the display, possibly with a click-through screen. * Literature at the point of sale. * A logo for a safe PIN-entry process. ### User Privacy Use the following guidelines to protect the user's privacy when he enters his Personal Identification Number (PIN): * The area of visibility should not be larger than a cone taken from the number 5 key at an angle of 45° and covering an area of 270° directly in front of the user. ## Inside the Shipping Carton Open the shipping carton and carefully inspect its contents for possible tampering or shipping damage. The terminal is a secure product. Tampering causes it to cease to function or to operate in an unsecured manner. {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Remove and inspect the contents Remove and inspect the contents of the shipping carton. The terminal ships in multiple configurations. The carton may include all or any of the following: * Device

Connect the 28-pin connector of the coiled serial cable (Connected to MOD 10 port, cable VPN - CBL435-002-01-A) to P630, then insert the other end of the cable to the multi-communication port of V200c. * **Configuration 2 - P630 Full Feature** The PINpad accessories on the opposite side is to connect the PC and the Electronic Cash Register (ECR). ### RS-232 Connection Using an External Power Brick A special dongle cable is used, where one end of the cable plugs into the P630 while the other end terminates into the DB-9 connector housing. On the housing, a DC jack is provided to connect to an external power brick. This is a generic cable for all RS232-based hosts (VPN - CBL282-031-XX-A). ### Ethernet Connection with External Power Brick To connect the terminal to other devices via Ethernet, use the cable with a junction box that provides a standard RJ-45 LAN socket, a mini-USB port, and a standard DC jack for an external power connection. The junction box comes in these configurations: | Cable | Configuration | Part Number | | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | | Countertop without stand | Junction box with RJ-45 socket (for connecting the device to LAN infrastructure), MOD-8 socket for RS232 & DC-in jack | CBL282-006-01-B | | Ethernet with RS232 and Mini-USB option | Junction box with RJ-45 socket (for connecting the device to LAN infrastructure), MOD-8 socket for RS232, Mini USB & DC-in jack | CBL435-005-02-A | | Ethernet with RS232 and USB option | Junction box with RJ-45 socket (for connecting the device to LAN infrastructure), MOD-8 socket for RS232, Mini USB, type A USB & DC-in jack | CBL435-044-01-A | The figure below shows the connections available on the external power brick. ## Smart Card Reader The smart card transaction procedure can vary depending on the application. Verify the proper procedure with your application provider before performing a smart card transaction.
#### To proceed with an EMV transaction: * Insert the smart card into the reader slot. * Ensure the contacts on the smart card face upward. * Insert the card smoothly and continuously until it sits firmly. * Wait for the application to signal a completed transaction before removing the card. * Premature card removal may invalidate the transaction. * EMV transactions support credit and debit card transactions using this procedure. {% hint style="warning" %} Leave the smart card in the card reader until the transaction is completed. Premature removal can void the transaction. *Laissez la carte à puce dans le lecteur de carte jusqu'à ce que la transaction soit terminée. Une suppression prématurée peut annuler la transaction.* {% endhint %} ## Magnetic Stripe Card Reader The P630 has a magnetic card reader that uses a triple-track stripe reader. This gives the unit greater reliability over a wide range of swipe speeds and operating environments.
#### Follow these steps to use the magnetic stripe card: * Position the card with the magnetic stripe facing backward or downward. * Insert the magnetic card from the side of the device. * Swipe the card through the magnetic card reader. * For a smart card, insert it and follow the on-screen instructions before removal. * This process supports both magnetic stripe and smart cards. ## Contactless Transactions The P630 supports contactless transactions through an integrated contactless module. The terminal only becomes active for contactless smart card transactions when initialized by an application.
The device supports contactless credit or debit card transactions gently tap the card onto the payment device or hold the card within 4 cm against the surface of the device, above the Contactless Reader icon. ## Optional Accessories These accessories can further enhance device functionality. Contact your Verifone representative for details. ## Privacy Shield The privacy shield is used to hide the keys when the user is entering a password in a transaction. One type of privacy shield can be used: Standard Type - This privacy shield is PCI-compliant. This must be used when P630 is not mounted on a swivel stand. Standard type privacy shield may be optionally used in attended handheld (or handover) mode, or when the P630 is mounted on a swivel stand (as for a multilane environment), or when the P630 is integrated into a kiosk and the kiosk has its own privacy shielding.
{% hint style="info" %} Failure to use the privacy shield in a PCI-compliant manner will void PCI compliance for the affected device. {% endhint %} ### Installing the Privacy Shield To install a privacy shield: {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Align the hooks Align the hooks on the privacy shield with the corresponding slots beside the keypad on the terminal. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Snap the shield into place Once the hooks are in place, gently push down on the privacy shield until it snaps into place. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## Mounting Plate This accessory is used to mount P630 to vertical or inclined surfaces. ### Attaching a Mounting Plate to P630 To attach a mounting plate to P630. {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Align the screw holes Align the screw holes at the back of the terminal with the corresponding screws on the mounting plate (this can be done with or without the stylus holder attached). {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Screw the plate in place Screw the mounting plate in place, keeping the terminal aligned. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ### Mounting P630 with Mounting Plate to a Wall or Flat Surface To mount the terminal to a wall or flat surface: {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Ensure the mounting plate is attached Ensure the mounting plate is attached to the terminal. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Attach the screws Attach three M3 screws (not included in the P630 package) to the desired surface.
