2. Screw in the SMA connector to the ports of the UX401 and UX301.

To disconnect cables, use the same steps described above in reverse. If exchanging cables, use a Verifone-approved cable. See Accessories and Documentation for cable ordering information.

Contactless Support

This device supports the global contactless program specifications from American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, ISIS SmartTap, and Google Wallet with virtually no changes to existing payment hardware or software.

Mounting the Reader

The UX401 is designed to be flush-mounted to the mounting surface, without further need for any external mounting devices.

Ensure that your mounting frame has a thickness of 2 mm.

Your mounting surface may have different installation instructions. Refer to your mounting device's user guide for further instructions.

To mount the UX401:

1. Peel off the plastic liner from the front of the unit.

Figure 4: Mounting the UX401

1. Align the unit's stud holes with the stud holes of your mounting surface.
2. Flush-mount the reader and secure the unit with M5 nuts.

Avoid placing metallic objects at the front of the card reader.

Use M5 mounting studs with a minimum length of 12 mm.

Tighten the nuts using a recommended tightening torque of 7.0 kgfcm.

Using the Reader

The contactless reader is only active when signaled by an application for the start of a contactless card transaction.

When active, the UX401's contactless logo lights up.

Conducting a Contactless Transaction

To conduct a contactless transaction, hold the card (within 4 cm) or gently tap against the surface of the contactless antenna, marked by the logo.

The contactless unit uses various audible and visual confirmations to confirm transactions.

The actual audible and visual confirmations may vary depending on regional and customer requirements.
