# Device Overview

This chapter provides a brief description of the e280/e280s V2 device.

The e280/e280s V2 device is a secure wireless handheld mobile payment device that allows electronic payment transactions to be processed. This payment processing solution with a fully integrated POS (Point-of-Sale) can scan barcodes, QR (Quick Response) codes and products with the help of an integrated camera.

In combination with Verifone Connect digital services, it enables clients to remotely monitor and update their devices using Verifone's estate management solution. The e280/e280s V2 device supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It also meets PCI (Payment Card Industry) - PTS (PIN Transaction Security) 5.X SRED (Secure Reading and Exchange of Data) requirements for maximum security.

The e280/e280s V2 device's small, sleek design makes it easily pocketable while supporting all payment methods like Magnetic stripe, EMV (Europay MasterCard and VISA), and NFC (Near Field Communication)/CTLS (Contactless), including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay mobile wallets. The easy-to-read color touch screen supports all payment-related user interactions, including barcode scanner and secure PIN ((Personal Identification Number) entry.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/hardware-products/hardware/engage-devices/exxx-series/e280-e280s/e280-e280s-installation-guide/device-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
