Verifone Re-Initialization Instructions for Vx520, Vx810, Vx820

These instructions will guide you through the proper steps to properly initialize your Moneris Verifone terminals (Vx520, Vx810, Vx820).

1. On the applications menu, select DEBIT & CREDIT.
The message "Activating App..." is displayed, then the transactions menu appears.

2. Press the green OK key to display the CONFIGURATION menu.

3. Scroll down and select Initialize.
If the "Password:" prompt appears, key in the manager password and press the green OK key.
