This chapter describes the device setup procedure. You will learn about:

Device Location

The following are the guidelines for selecting an ideal location for the device.

Ease of Use

  • The T650m portable solution is a lightweight powerhouse that is styled to easily fit in hand and go where you go.

  • Easily accept payments anywhere, any type, including mobile wallets and alternative payment methods.

Environmental Factors

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

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

Personal Security Considerations

The T650m can be used as a handover device. Always exercise extreme caution when conducting transactions especially during PIN entry.

  • Hand over the T650m directly to the cardholder for PIN entry.

  • Encourage the cardholder to hold the T650m close to avoid others from seeing the information entered.

Electrical Considerations

  • Avoid using this product during electrical storms.

  • Due to the risk of electric shock or damage to the terminal, do not use this equipment near a water source, for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Likewise, avoid using this product during thunderstorms causing power cuts. Avoid placing the terminal near electrical devices or other units that could cause large voltage fluctuations or electrical interference, such as air conditioners, neon signs, high-frequency safety devices, or electrical equipment.

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

  • Disconnect the device from its POS device before cleaning.

Unpacking the Shipping Carton

1

Carefully inspect the shipping carton and its contents for possible tampering or damage.

2

Validate the authenticity of the sender by verifying the shipping tracking number and other information located on the product order paperwork.

3

Remove and inspect the following items:

  • T650m unit

  • USB-C to USB cable

  • Power Adaptor

NOTE Verifone ships variants of the T650m for different markets. Your unit may have different options or accessories described in this section.

4

Remove all plastic wrapping from the device and components.

5

Remove the clear protective film from the display.

6

Inspect the terminal for possible tampering. See how to identify signs of tampering in section Periodic Inspection.

7

Save the shipping carton and packing material for future repacking or moving of the device.

Periodic Inspection

Periodically inspect the terminal for possible tampering. Signs of tampering include:

  • Overlays in the PIN pad area

  • Foreign objects inserted into the smart card slot or magnetic stripe slot

  • Any bumps in the casing below the mag stripe slot and any noticeable additional mag stripe head from the side

  • Signs of damage to the tamper-evident labels

  • A Tamper Warning message on the device display

Using the Battery

The T650m device uses a Li-Ion battery. The internal logic of the battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery becomes unusable).

Battery Features

The following are features of the battery:

  • Li-Ion

  • A safety circuit that:

    • Prevents cell damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating

    • Activates when the battery is left in an unused device for an extended period

NOTE

  • Charge the T650m device for eight hours before initial use.

  • Disconnecting and unplugging the device power pack, reduces the life of the coin cell battery, which does not recharge and must be replaced if drained.

  • Conserve battery power by turning the T650m device off when not in use. Do not let the battery charge fall below 10% for an extended period of time as this may permanently diminish the battery capacity. Recharge the battery by placing the T650m device on the charging base. The T650m charging time with a charging base is 5.8hrs.

Manual Startup

Hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the device displays the startup screen.

NOTE Once the device is powered up, The Verifone Home screen is displayed.

Manual Shutdown

Hold the start button for about 1 second until the message is displayed on the screen. Touch the "Off" selection to turn off.

NOTE The screen is blank when the device has no power.

Connecting the Terminal Power Pack

Connect the T650m device to the provided USB cable and insert the other end into any USB charger head for initial charging.

Each T650m device comes with a power supply cable, USB-A to USB-C cable is used to connect the device directly to a USB outlet to charge the battery. The T650m unit is equipped with a USB-capable universal port.

To Connect the Terminal Power Supply

Insert the USB-C to the T650m and USB-A port to the power supply or Desktop.

Figure 5 — T650m Power Supply Connection

TIP To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges, consider installing a power surge protector.

Charging Base

The T650m is designed to work with a charging base. The user can alternatively place the terminal on the available charger base to conveniently charge the battery and prevent the discharge to less than 10%.

Charging the Battery

After unpacking your T650m device, connect the power pack to the unit for eight hours or until fully charged. Refer to the Using the Battery section for more details.

Battery Life

Charging and discharging the battery will cause normal wear on the battery.

Using the Smart Card Reader

Insert the smart card to proceed with the EMV transaction. EMV supports credit card and debit card transactions.

To Conduct a Smart Card Transaction

1

Position the smart card with the contacts facing upward.

2

Insert the card into the reader slot in a smooth, continuous motion until it seats firmly.

3

Wait for the application to indicate a completed transaction before removing the card. Premature card removal invalidates the transaction.
