cards or replace the old cards.
To change or install

1 Remove the data cable from the back of the unit.
2 Place the V

CAUTION
Observe standard precautions in handling electrostatically sensitive devices.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the equipment. VeriFone recommends
using a grounded anti-static wrist strap.
NOTE
Before inserting the MSAM card, position it as shown in Figure 5, with the card’s
gold contacts facing away from you, toward the unit. The cardholder slot in the
V

810 has a set of contacts. The MSAM card has a notch on one corner to
ensure that it fits into the connector base in only one way; the V
x
810 has a
matching notch cast into the backside of the MSAM compartment door to ensure
the MSAM card is positioned correctly when the cover is closed.
