  • Page 16: Installation

    About Host Software In any solution, kDynamo is connected to a host, which must have software installed that knows how to communicate with the device, and which is capable of performing actions intended to be carried out when a cardholder swipes, inserts, or taps a card or contactless payment device.

    2 - Installation 2.3.2 How to Mount kDynamo mini kDynamo mini is primarily designed to be handheld. Depending on solution design requirements, designers may choose to add a commercially available adhesive-mounted hand strap, or other adhesive- mounted custom components. Figure 2-2 provides overall dimensions of the device to assist with planning and integration.

  • Page 21: Operation

     Connected Mode occurs when the iOS host has established an iAP2 session with kDynamo. In this mode, the host and the device can both initiate communication. It is the host’s responsibility to terminate the iAP2 session and send the device into Sleep Mode to save power when an active data connection is no longer needed.

  • Page 22: About The General Status Led

    3 - Operation About the General Status LED kDynamo’s General Status LED, integrated into the pushbutton (see section 1.5 About kDynamo Components), provides feedback to the operator and cardholder about the internal state of the device . Table 3-1 shows how to interpret the flashing patterns of the General Status LED.

  • Page 23: About Sounds

    3 - Operation About Sounds kDynamo’s beeper provides feedback to operators and cardholders about the internal state of the device:  The device sounds one short beep on startup to test the beeper and indicate the device is powered on.

    (see Appendix A Technical Specifications; below 77°F / 25°C is optimal). Temperature is the most critical factor in extending battery life.  Store the device with the battery charged to less than 100% (40% is optimal). kDynamo| Secure Card Multimedia Device for iPad | Installation and Operation Manual Page 24 of 34 (D998200284-10)

    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.

  • Page 26: Card Reading

    A transaction generally follows this essential flow: 1) An advanced operator makes sure kDynamo is configured properly and is connected to the host (see section 2.2 Connecting to a Host). 2) When the device is powered by the USB-C connector, the host may always keep a connection open to the device.

  • Page 30: Maintenance

    4 - Maintenance Maintenance MagTek’s double-sided cleaning card 96700004 is designed to clean the magnetic read head in the MSR swipe path and the contact pins inside all chip card contact readers. Keeping both of these components clean is essential to the device’s functioning. MagTek recommends swiping and inserting a cleaning card once per week to avoid credit card misreads.
