Device Overview
This chapter describes the features of the V400m and the V400m Bases.
The V400m is Verifone's next-generation integrated retail PINpad device. The touchscreen functionality and sophisticated design are perfect for high-end retail establishments.
The V400m 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 V400m can utilize over-the-air connectivity, facilitating mobile telephony technology for sending and receiving data, using existing operator-provided 3G or 4G infrastructure:
V400m Plus 3G - provides third-generation High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) connectivity.
V400m Plus 4G - provides fourth-generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) connectivity.
This guide provides an introduction and basic setup procedures for both 3G and 4G terminals, and will indicate where instructions vary for different models.
