Battery management
Effective battery management is crucial for optimizing the performance and the lifespan of your device's battery. Here are some steps for battery management:
Initial battery charging
To perform the initial battery charging for your Victa Mobile device, follow these steps:
After unpacking the device, connect the power pack to the unit.
Allow the device to charge for eight hours or until fully charged.
The battery in the Victa Mobile device is equipped with a safety circuit to
safeguard the Li-ion cells from overcharging and over-discharging. If the
battery becomes over-discharged, the safety circuit will shut down the battery, and it must be recharged to restore operation.
Ensure that you adhere to the recommended charging duration to optimize the
battery's performance and longevity.
Using an incorrectly rated power supply may lead to potential damage to the device or cause it not to function as specified. Before proceeding with troubleshooting, it is crucial to verify that the power supply being used to power the device aligns with the specified requirements detailed on the bottom of the device. For comprehensive power supply specifications, refer to the "Specifications" section. If there is any discrepancy, obtain the appropriately rated power supply before proceeding further with troubleshooting activities.
L'utilisation d'une alimentation électrique mal évaluée peut entraîner des dommages potentiels à l'appareil ou l' empêcher de fonctionner comme spécifié. Avant de procéder au dépannage, il est crucial de vérifier que l'alimentation électrique utilisée pour alimenter l'appare il est conforme aux exigences spécifiées détaillées au bas de l'appareil. Pour co nnaître les spécifications complètes de l'alimentation, reportez-vous à la section « Spécifications ». En cas de divergence, procurez-vous une alimentation électrique appropriée avant de poursuivre les activités de dépannage.
Avoid plugging the power pack into an outdoor outlet. During a transaction, disconnecting the power source by either removing the battery or unplugging the device from a wall power source when the battery charge is very low may result in the loss of transaction data files that have not yet been stored in the device memory. Exercise caution to prevent any unintended loss of transaction data during power-related actions.
Évitez de brancher le bloc d'alimentation sur une prise extéri eure. Au cours d'une transaction, débrancher la source d'alim entation en retirant la batterie ou en débranchant l'appareil d'une source d'alim entation murale lorsque la charge de la batterie est très faible peut entraîner la perte des fichiers de données de transaction qui n'ont pas encore été st ockés dans la mémoire de l'appareil. Faites preuve de prudence pour éviter toute perte involontaire de données de transaction lors d'actions liées à l'alimentation.
Using the battery
The Victa Mobile device utilizes a single-cell Li-ion battery with the following features:
The battery incorporates a safety circuit that prevents damage from overcharge, over-discharge, or overheating.
It activates when the battery is left unused in the device for extended periods.
The battery provides power to the security circuit when the Victa Mobile device has no external power source.
Li-ion batteries are not affected by shallow charging.
To ensure optimal function, follow these best practices:
Conserve battery power by turning off the Victa Mobile device when not in use.
Keep the Li-ion battery inserted in the device and power up the device periodically to check the battery charge. Avoid letting the battery charge fall below 10% for extended periods, as this may permanently diminish battery capacity.
Recharge the battery by connecting the USB-C end of the power pack to the device and plug the other end into a wall outlet.
LED charging indicators
The Victa Mobile device features a simple two-color LED with two energized states:
🔴 Red

Battery life
Charging and discharging the Victa Mobile battery repeatedly over hundreds of cycles will contribute to the natural wear and aging of the battery. If you observe significantly reduced operating times, it may indicate the need for a battery replacement. Refer to the "Service and Support" section for ordering information regarding replacement batteries.
When it comes to disposal, it is essential to follow proper procedures:
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Li-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Do not dispose of Li-ion batteries in municipal waste sites.
Proper disposal of Li-ion batteries is crucial for environmental safety. Check with local recycling programs or electronic waste collection facilities for guidance on the correct disposal of Li-ion batteries in your area. Many communities have specific programs for recycling electronic devices and batteries to prevent environmental harm.
Replacing the battery
If the battery is faulty or not working or any other issues with the battery then it can replaced by the customer by following the below steps:
Open the back cover from both the sides, Figure 3 (a).
Pull up the tab to take out the battery cell, Figure 3 (c).
Remove the existing battery, Figure 3 (d).
Charging the Battery via Power Pack
To charge the Victa Mobile device using the power pack, follow these steps:

This procedure ensures a direct connection between the device and the power source, allowing the battery to charge. Always use the recommended and compatible power supply to avoid any potential issues with charging or device performance.
To safeguard against potential harm from lightning strikes and electrical surges, contemplate the installation of a power surge protector.
Startup and shutdown
The startup process for the Victa Mobile device varies based on its power source. When connected to a non-battery power source, the device automatically starts up, irrespective of the battery charge. To manually power up, press, and hold the power key for approximately 2 seconds until the startup screen appears.
Once powered on, the device illuminates.
Connecting power supply
The Victa Mobile has a power adaptor of input AC 100V-240V/50-60Hz/0.4A and output of DC 5V/2.2A. If you have any inquiries about the appropriate power supply to use, please reach out to your Verifone representative for assistance.
To connect the power supply, follow these steps:
Identify the power input port on the Victa Mobile.
Connect the appropriate power supply cable to the power input port.
Connect the other end of the power supply cable to a suitable power source or power adapter.
Ensure a secure connection and proper alignment.
Power on the Victa Mobile using the designated power switch, if applicable.
This ensures the proper power supply connection for the Victa Mobile.
Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it to malfunction. Verifone recommends the PWR572-001-xx-A power pack. See Specifications for power supply information.
