WHY THE SWITCH FROM V2 TO V3
Updated hardware keeps in lined with enhanced Payment Card
Industry (PCI) security standards which is imperative to help customers combat card-present counterfeit card fraud.
By upgrading your equipment, you will:
• Reduce risk of costly data breaches
• Maintain PCI compliance – This is a mandatory requirement for all customers
• Offer more ways for consumers to pay with their preferred payment methods

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
One important aspect of the switch is that V2 equipment is not compatible with V3 equipment. For example, if a V2 PIN Pad is connected to a V3 iCT device or vice versa, the terminal will display “PIN PAD OUT OF ORDER.”
There are multiple ways in determining a V2 device from a V3.
Color Display Terminals
For color display terminals, the small lock graphic on the screen will be different colors. Yellow for V2 and blue for V3.
V2 Terminal – Yellow Lock V3 Terminal – Blue Lock

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
Black and White Display Terminals
For black and white display terminals, the lock graphic is again involved but the change is in the number displayed next to it. #1 for a V2 terminal and a #3 for a V3.
V2 Terminal – #1 V3 Terminal – #3

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
Terminal Profile Displays
When a terminal or PIN pad is rebooted, the display will flash A98 for V2 devices. V3 devices will flash C98 on the display.
V2 Terminal Profile – A98 V3 Terminal Profile – C98
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
V3 Device Stickers
Terminal – New V3 terminals will have an FCC sticker attached to the bottom of the device. At the end of each of the FCC ID, US, and IC codes, V3 will be printed.
PIN Pad – The C98 code appears as a label on the bottom of the iPP310 PIN
Pad display.
