Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintenance

Treat your V200c and V400c terminals with care. They have no user-serviceable parts.

The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.

  • Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

  • Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.

  • Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.

These suggestions apply equally to your device, as well as any of its attachments or accessories. If your device is not working properly, take it to the nearest Verifone-authorized service provider for servicing or replacement.

Cleaning

The following suggestions and cautions will help you keep your terminal clean.

Cleaning the Terminal

To clean the device, use a clean cloth slightly dampened with water and a drop or two of mild soap. For stubborn stains, use alcohol or an alcohol-based cleaner.

Cleaning the MSR

Dirt accumulation can lead to MSR reading problems unless you clean the magnetic stripe reader (MSR) on a regular basis (daily to once a week, depending on usage).

Clean the MSR using commercially available card reader cleaning cards, or using Verifone's recommended MSR-cleaning card (PN 02746-02).

If using a commercially available cleaning card use ONLY an approved MSR cleaning card made specifically for POS MSR Card reader terminals or Petroleum MSR card readers.

Cleaning the SCR

Do not attempt to clean the smart card reader (SCR). Doing so may void any warranty. For smart card reader service, contact your Verifone distributor or service provider.
