Device Setup

This chapter describes the device setup procedure.

Device Location

The following are the guidelines used to select an ideal location for the device.

  • The device must be used in an attended environment.

Ease of Use

  • Select a location convenient for both the merchant and the cardholder.

  • Select a flat support surface less than two meters high, such as a counter top or table, or secure the device on a stand mount supplied by Verifone.

  • Select a location near a power outlet, POS, ECR, or computer connected to the device. For safety, do not string cables or cords across a walkway.

  • The T650c device must be mounted only on Verifone approved stands.

  • The device is suitable for mounting only at height less than or equal to 2 meters.

Environmental Factors

  • Do not use the device where there is excess heat, dust, humidity, moisture, caustic chemicals or oils.

  • The device is rated and designed not to be used in dusty or moist environment when mounted on a stand.

  • Keep the device away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat, such as a stove or a motor.

  • Do not use the device outdoors.

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).

  • Avoid using the device near water or in moist conditions.

  • Disconnect the device from its POS device before cleaning.

Contactless Considerations

Avoid having metallic objects in proximity of the contactless antenna. If you need to mount the device onto a vertical or inclined surface, use Verifone approved stand.

PIN Protection Measures

Use the following techniques to provide effective screening of the PIN-entry keypad during the PIN entry process. You can use these methods in combination, although in some cases a single method might suffice.

  • Position the device on the check-in stand in such a way as to block visual observation of the PIN-entry process. Examples include:

    • Visual shields designed into 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 angle of the device in such a way that PIN spying is difficult.

  • Install the PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the device 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.

The following table describes the two preferred mounting methods and the recommended measures to protect against PIN capture in four observation corridors:

Table 3 — Mounting Methods and Protection Measures

Method
Cashier
Customer in Queue
Customers Elsewhere
On-site Cameras

Countertop without stand

Use signage behind the PED

Install so that customer is between PED and next in queue

No action needed

Do not install within view of cameras

Countertop with stand

No action needed

Install so that customer is between PED and next in queue

No action needed

Do not install within view of cameras

Verifone also recommends instructing 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 safe PIN-entry process.

Mounting Considerations

Verifone recommends the use of an approved stand for all mounting situations. Position the device conveniently in relation to power, POS, ECR, and LAN connections. Ensure the T650c device is placed in a manner that allows customers to swipe their magnetic cards or insert their Smart Cards in a smooth and comfortable motion without encountering obstructions. If the unit needs to be swiveled during normal operation, Verifone recommends the use of an approved swivel stand.

Special care is required when mounting the T650c device in sites that utilize anti-theft devices positioned at doorways or surface mounted deactivator pads. Devices of this type, such as Sensormatic brand devices generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may interfere with T650c device. Always select mounting locations at least 0.5 meter from doorway units and at least 2.0 meters from surface mounted deactivator pads.
