Figure 5 – 640m Primary USB-C port with power supply connections

Power Supply

Not all configurations and device contexts require the use of a power supply – Verifone ships the power supply with the terminal as required.

Contact your Verifone representative if you have changed the context in which the terminal is used or have questions about which power supply should be used.

Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to work properly. Use only a power pack with VPN PWR560-101- * - A (see Service and Support for detailed power supply specifications). L'utilisation d'une alimentation électrique mal évaluée peut endommager l'appareil ou l'empêcher de fonctionner correctement. Utilisez uniquement un bloc d'alimentation avec VPN PWR560-101-*-A (voir Service et assistance pour les spécifications détaillées de l'alimentation).

Disconnect the power pack cord from the power outlet before connecting a power supply. Connect and route all cables between the terminal, ECR and PC before plugging the power pack cord into a wall outlet or surge protector.

Using the Battery

The 640m device uses a Li-Polymer rechargeable battery. The battery is only replaceable by a repair center.

Battery Features

The following are the features of the battery:

• Li-Polymer rechargeable battery.
• Battery charging supports a car charging mode.
• A safety circuit.

  • Prevents cell damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating.
  • Activates when the battery is left in an unused device for an extended period.

• Charge the 640m device for 4 hours before initial use.
• Conserve battery power by turning the 640m 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 attaching the USB-C end of the power pack to the device and plugging the other end of the power pack into a wall outlet.

Battery Life

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

Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the terminal outdoors. Disconnecting power during a transaction can cause transaction data files not yet stored in memory to be lost. Ne branchez pas le bloc d'alimentation sur une prise extérieure et n'utilisez pas le terminal à l'extérieur. La déconnexion de l'alimentation pendant une transaction peut entraîner la perte des fichiers de données de transaction non encore stockés en mémoire.

Verifone recommends installing a power surge protector to protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges.

Connecting the Terminal Power Pack

Connect the 640m device to the provided USB cable and insert the other end into any USB charger head for initial charging.

Each 640m device comes with a power supply cable; the USB-A to USB-C cable is used to connect the device directly to a USB outlet to charge the battery. The 640m unit is equipped with a USB-capable universal port.

Li-Polymer and Li-Ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly as per local guidelines/regulations. Les batteries Li-Polymère et Li-Ion doivent être recyclées ou éliminées correctement conformément aux directives/réglementations locales.

Using an incorrectly rated power supply may damage the device or cause it not to work as specified. Before troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply being used to power the device matches the requirements specified on the bottom of the device. (See Specifications for detailed power supply specifications.) You can use any standard USB charger. L'utilisation d'une alimentation électrique mal évaluée peut endommager l'appareil ou l'empêcher de fonctionner comme spécifié. Avant le dépannage, assurez-vous que l'alimentation électrique utilisée pour alimenter l'appareil correspond aux exigences spécifiées au bas de l'appareil. (Voir Spécifications pour les spécifications détaillées de l'alimentation.) Vous pouvez utiliser n'importe quel chargeur USB standard.

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 a 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 ne faites pas fonctionner l'appareil à l'extérieur.

Au cours d'une transaction, débrancher l'alimentation en débranchant l'appareil d'une prise murale alors que la batterie est très faible peut entraîner la perte des fichiers de données de transaction non encore stockés dans la mémoire de l'appareil.

To Connect the Terminal Power Supply
