SETUP
PIN Protection Measures
12 P400/P400 PLUS INSTALLATION GUIDE
Electrical
Considerations
•Avoid using this product during electrical storms.
•Do not use the P400 unit near water or in moist conditions.
•Disconnect the device from its POS terminal before cleaning.
Contactless
Considerations
Avoid having metallic objects in proximity of the contactless antenna. If you need
to mount the terminal to vertical or inclined surfaces, use a flat, non-metallic
mounting plate.
Figure 2 Areas To Avoid Metal Contact
PIN Protection
Measures
Use the following techniques to provide effective screening of PIN-entry devices
(PEDs) during the PIN entry process. You can use these methods in combination,
although in some cases a single method might suffice.
•Position the terminal on the check-in stand in such a way as to block visual
observation of the PIN-entry process. Examples include:
•Visual shields designed into the check-in stand. The shields may be solely
for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check stand design.
•Position the PED so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is
difficult.
WARNING
Due to risk of electrical shock or terminal damage, do not use the terminal near
water, including a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool. Avoid using this product during electrical
storms. Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause
excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air
conditioners, neon signs, high frequency or magnetic security devices, or electric
motors).
CAUTION
Using an enclosed metal frame or mount may negatively affect contactless
performance.

SETUP
Unpacking Shipping Carton
P400/P400 PLUS INSTALLATION GUIDE 13
•Install the PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the
terminal sideways and/or tilt it forwards/backwards to a position that makes
visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.
•Position in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible.
The following table describes the two preferred mounting methods and the
recommended measures to protect from PIN capture in four observation corridors:
Verifone also recommends instruction of the cardholder regarding safe PIN-entry.
This can be done with a combination of:
•Signage on the PED
•Prompts on the display, possibly with a click-through screen
•Literature at the point of sale
•A logo for safe PIN-entry process.
Ensuring User
Privacy
Use the following guidelines to protect the user’s privacy when he enters his
personal identification number (PIN):
•The area of visibility should be no larger than a cone taken from the number 5
key at an angle of 45° and covering an area of 270° directly in front of the user.
•You can secure PIN entry by installing an optional Privacy Shield.
Unpacking
Shipping Carton
Carefully inspect the shipping carton and its contents for possible tampering or
damage.
1Remove the P400 unit from the shipping carton. The standard package
contains the PIN pad only and does not include any other cables or
accessories. Refer Accessories and Documentation to for more information
about P400 related accessories.
2Remove any protective plastic wrap and place the unit on a table or

Using an External
Power Brick
A special dongle cable is used, where one end of the cable plugs into the P400
while the other end terminates in a DB-9 connector housing. On the housing, a
DC jack is provided to connect to an external power brick. This is a generic cable
for all RS232-based hosts (VPN - CBL282-031-XX-A).

Similarly, a USB cable (VPN - CBL282-038-XX-A) is required in standard USB
environments. For this cable option, the host end has a molded housing which
exposes the standard USB plug.
