How to Install the Battery Pack

If the solution design includes accepting contactless payments while iDynamo 6 is powered
by a handheld host (that is, not powered through the USB-C receptacle from a high-
powered USB-C power source), the device must have the battery pack installed. iDynamo
6 only uses the battery pack to power its on-board contactless reader, and receives all
other operating power from the connected host.
To install the battery pack, follow these steps:
1) Remove the battery pack contacts cover from the rear of iDynamo 6 (see Figure 1-1).
2) Make sure the electrical contacts on iDynamo 6 and the battery pack are clean (see Figure 1-1).
3) Rotate the battery pack so the contacts line up with the contacts on iDynamo 6.
4) Press the battery pack onto iDynamo 6 until you feel it click into place.
5) iDynamo 6 does not power on when only the battery pack is connected. The device only powers on
when it is connected to a host via the host connector, or to a USB-C power source via the USB-C
receptacle. In some cases, the device remains powered off until the host establishes a logical
connection, in addition to being physically connected.
6) Although the battery pack ships with a partial charge, MagTek recommends fully charging it before
use. For details, see section 3.4.3 How to Charge the Connected Host and Battery Pack.
To remove the battery pack, use your thumb to apply pressure to the iDynamo 6 housing above one of the
battery pack retaining clips, and use your finger to pull out on the retaining clip to release it.
