Connecting To A Host; Power And Charging; Led Status - Magtek kDynamo Series Quick Installation Manual

Connecting to a Host

To connect kDynamo to an iPad host, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you have the correct adapter shell for the model of iPad you are connecting to.
2. If you are connecting kDynamo Air to iPad Pro 9.7 inch or iPad Air 2, install the four included spacers in
the spacer mount points inside the adapter shell
3. Plug the main body of kDynamo into the host's Lightning connector.
4. Slide the iPad into the bottom of the adapter shell, then slide it all the way in until the adapter shell mates
with the kDynamo main body. The locking tab should engage on its own.
5. Pull gently on the two halves to make sure they are secured.
6. On the host, install and configure the host software you intend to use with kDynamo. If you do not yet
have host software, you can download a test tool from the App Store called MagTek Test, published by
MagTek, Inc., to perform simple tests.
To disconnect kDynamo from the host, follow these steps:
1. Make sure all installed apps that use kDynamo are either closed or disconnected.
2. Power off kDynamo (see section 3.4.4 How to Power On / Wake Up from Sleep Mode / Power Off).
3. Turn off the iPad host's display to avoid accidentally launching or interacting with apps.
4. Use your fingernail or gently use a slotted screwdriver to lift the locking tab.
5. Pull kDynamo's adapter shell and main body in opposite directions.
6. Disconnect kDynamo from the Lightning connector and slide the iPad host out of the adapter shell.

Power and Charging

This device incorporates a built-in Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which requires very little maintenance. It
is not subject to "charge memory" and therefore does not require deep discharge cycles to restore its charge
capacity like many other battery technologies. When properly powered through its USB port, the device
powers on automatically, recharges the battery, powers the connected iPad host through the Lightning port,
and remains powered on. The device stops charging the battery when it determines it is optimally full, to
prevent overcharging. If the device is not connected to USB power, or if the USB connection does not provide
enough power, the device primarily powers itself using the rechargeable battery.
Periodically recharge kDynamo's battery and the connected iOS host by using the included USB-C cable to
connect it to the Apple USB power adapter included with the iPad host. The device requires a USB connection
that can provide at least 2.4A @ 5V (12W). A full recharge cycle for a completely drained battery, regardless of
whether kDynamo is pass-through charging a connected iPad host, takes approximately 4 to 5 hours.
How to Power On / Wake Up from Sleep Mode / Power Off
In Powered Off mode (General Status LED is off) or in Sleep Mode (General Status LED is lit solid), power on
or wake the device by tapping the pushbutton. In response, the device lights the General Status LED, then
beeps once, and transitions to either Idle Mode or Connected Mode.
To power off the device, press and hold the pushbutton for 2 to 3 seconds until the General Status LED
turns off and the device beeps twice.
