## Examining the Connection Port
The V660p-1 device has one primary USB-C port used for power and downloads.
## Using the Battery
The V660p-1 device uses a 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.
{% hint style="info" %}
Charge the V660p-1 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 V660p-1 devices 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.
{% endhint %}
### 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.
{% hint style="info" %}
The screen is blank when the device has no power.
{% endhint %}
## Connecting the Terminal Power Pack
Connect the V660p-1 devices to the provided USB cable and insert the other end into any USB charger head for initial charging.
{% hint style="warning" %}
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](/hardware-products/hardware/android-devices/v660-series/v660p/v660p-installation-guide/specifications.md) for detailed power supply specifications.) You can use any standard USB charger.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
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.
{% endhint %}
Each V660p-1 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 V660p-1 unit is equipped with a USB-capable universal port.
### To Connect the Terminal Power Supply

{% endhint %}
### Loading a Paper Roll in Device
Install a paper roll before you can start transactions that require a receipt.
The V660p-1 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.
{% hint style="info" %}
A message is always displayed to indicate that the printer is out of paper.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
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](/hardware-products/hardware/android-devices/v660-series/v660p/v660p-installation-guide/service-and-support.md#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.
{% endhint %}
## To install a paper roll
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
