Ethernet set up and pairing with Bluetooth full-feature base

This section covers step-by-step, set-up instructions to pair a full-feature base with the V660P/ T650P terminal by Ethernet, including requirements before and during the pairing process.

Bluetooth

Terminals with a full-featured base can be used away from the base (are mobile and free from cables) but must first be ‘paired’ to the base via Bluetooth, so the base recognises the terminal(s).

Prerequisites:  To pair a full-feature, Verifone V660P terminal with its base via Bluetooth, ensure the:

• Terminal is fully charged.
• Terminal configuration is complete.
• Base is plugged into a power source.

On the terminal:

1. Turn the terminal on and let it fully awaken (this may take up to 5 minutes).
2. Swipe down from the top of the screen to find the Bluetooth icon.  If it is greyed out or has a line through it, tap on the Bluetooth icon to enable it.

Bluetooth indicator icons
	Bluetooth disabled
	Bluetooth enabled, but not connected
	Bluetooth enabled and connected

2. Swipe down from the top of the screen and select the ‘Base Control’ app.

NOTE:  You can also ‘Search apps’ by clicking the magnifying glass and typing in the app you need.

The ‘Base control’ app opens the ‘Base Manager’.

1. Select ‘Pair A new Dock’.

The terminal will display ‘Put terminal into dock’ (base).

4. Place the terminal in the base so it sits correctly in the base.
5. Check that the terminal displays ‘Pairing in progress’.

6. Check that the terminal displays ‘Waiting for communication from base...'
7. After the Bluetooth connection is made, the terminal will display ‘Complete - Paired successfully’ and will list the connected bases.

NOTE:  After the terminal and base are paired, the base serial number (#) may not be listed as a connected dock. 

8. Confirm the connection between the base and terminal is active by checking that the Bluetooth Icon at the top of the terminal is lit up.

Ethernet connection

To connect the base to the Ethernet, use the cable that was provided with the terminal base.  

Insert an Ethernet cable from the router into the left port of the base (marked with ).
