Device Overview

This chapter presents the basics on the V240m terminal and base.

The V240m is a consumer-facing handheld device. The product's design is equally appealing as a handheld PINpad and robust enough to look and function appropriately in a fixed mount setting. The V240m can utilize over-the-air connectivity, facilitating mobile telephony technology for sending and receiving data, using existing operator-provided 2G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or 3G connectivity. This guide provides an introduction and basic setup procedures for V240m terminals.

V240m Bases

The V240m Base provides a stable mounted platform for the V240m terminal. The Base comes in two versions:

• V240m Charging Base
• V240m Full-Feature Base

The Charging Base supports charging only with no communication functionality. The Full-Feature Base supports several connectivity options and provides serial connection for peripherals (like ECR, check reader, barcode reader, etc.). The USB host port is for maintenance purposes and supports a USB flash drive.

V240m Charging Base

The Charging Base accommodates and supplies power to the V240m and V240m Plus portable terminals.
