{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Insert the card with the card’s gold contacts facing away from you, towards the unit.
{% endhint %}

## Examining Connection Port

The V310 device has one primary USB-C port used for power. The in-box cable is for charging only.&#x20;

### Using the Battery

The V310 device utilises a dual-cell Li-ion battery with the following features:

* The battery incorporates a safety circuit that prevents damage from overcharging, over-discharge, or overheating.
* It activates when the battery is left unused in the device for extended periods.
* The battery provides power to the security circuit when the V310 device has no external power source.

### Connecting the Terminal Power Pack

Connect the V310 device to the provided USB cable and plug the other end into a USB power adapter rated 5V/2A or higher for initial charging.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**WARNING**

Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the device outdoors. During a transaction, disconnecting the power by unplugging the device from a wall power while at very low battery charge may cause transaction data files not yet stored in the device memory to be lost.

*Ne branchez pas le bloc d'alimentation sur une prise extérieure et n'utilisez pas l'appareil à l'extérieur. Pendant une transaction, si vous débranchez l'appareil de la prise murale alors que la batterie est très faible, vous risquez de perdre les données de transaction non encore enregistrées dans la mémoire de l'appareil.*
{% endhint %}

Each V310 device is supplied with a power supply cable. Use the USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the device to a 5V/2A USB power adapter to charge the battery. The V310 unit has a universal USB-capable port.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When charging, use a power supply rated 5V/2A or higher. Do not connect to a PC USB port, USB hub, or low-current charger (e.g. 5V/0.5A or 5V/1A). An under-rated source may shut down, trigger overcurrent protection, or fail to charge the device.

*Pour la recharge, utilisez une source d’alimentation d’une capacité de 5V/2A ou plus. Ne branchez pas l’appareil sur un port USB d’ordinateur, un concentrateur (hub) USB ou un chargeur à faible intensité (par exemple 5V/0,5A ou 5V/1A). Une source d’alimentation insuffisante risque de s’éteindre, de déclencher une protection contre les surintensités ou de ne pas permettre la recharge de l’appareil.*
{% endhint %}

## Loading a Paper Roll

Install a paper roll before you can start transactions that require a receipt.

The V310 uses a roll of 40 mm x 58 mm, single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper.

A pink out-of-paper indicator line appears on the edge of the paper before the end of the roll. After this line appears, there is enough paper remaining on the roll to perform at least one more transaction.

### Battery Life

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

{% hint style="danger" %}
**WARNING**

Do not dispose batteries in a fire. Li-Polymer and Li-Ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose Li-ion batteries in municipal waste sites.

*Ne jetez pas les batteries au feu. Les batteries lithium-polymère et lithium-ion doivent être recyclées ou éliminées de manière appropriée. Ne jetez pas les batteries lithium-ion dans les décharges municipales.*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/hardware-products/hardware/android-devices/v310/v310-installation-guide/device-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
