SIM/SAM Card
When you first receive your V660p-2, you may need to install one or more SIM/SAM cards, or you may need to replace old cards. You may need to install one or two Subscriber Identity Module or Multiple Security Access Module cards or replace an old one.
CAUTION: Observe standard precautions when handling electrostatically sensitive devices. Electrostatic discharges can damage this equipment. Verifone recommends using a grounded anti-static wrist strap.
Installing or Replacing SIM/SAM Card
To install or replace SIM/SAM cards:
To replace the SIM/SAM card, gently slide out the old SIM/SAM card before inserting a new one.
Examining Connection Port
The V660p-2 device has one primary USB-C port used for power and download.
Using the Battery
The V660p-2 device uses dual cell 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:
Two Li-Ion cells
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.
Manual Startup
Hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the device displays the startup screen.
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.
Connecting the Terminal Power Pack
Connect the V660p-2 devices to the provided USB cable and insert the other end into any USB charger head for initial charging.
CAUTION: 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.
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.
Each V660p-2 device comes with a power supply cable, USB-A to USB-C cable is used to connect the device directly to an USB outlet to charge the battery. The V660p-2 unit is equipped with an USB capable universal port.
To Connect the Terminal Power Supply
Insert the USB-C to the V660p-2 and USB-A port to the power supply or Desktop.
TIP: To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges, consider installing a power surge protector.
Loading a Paper Roll in Device
Install a paper roll before you can start transactions that require a receipt.
The V660p-2 uses a roll of 40 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.
CAUTION: Poor-quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust. To place order for high-quality Verifone paper, refer to Accessories and Documentation.
Store thermal paper in a dry, dark area. Handle thermal paper carefully: impact, friction, temperature, humidity, and oils affect the color and storage characteristics of the paper.
Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at the edges.
