3.4.2 How to Check Battery Level

To check the charge level of the battery pack, make sure the device is connected to the host and look at
the General Status LED (see section 3.2 About the General Status LED).
Custom host software may also query the device and show its current charge level on the host display at
all times for convenience. For details, see section 5 Developing Custom Software.

3.4.3 How to Charge the Connected Host and Battery Pack

To avoid possible damage to the host or the device, only use a USB power adapter
designed for the host you are using, and the cable included with iDynamo 6. For example,
for iOS devices, use only chargers sold by or approved by Apple.
Recharge the connected host and the iDynamo 6 battery pack (if it is installed for handheld contactless
transactions) when either the host or the battery pack reports it is low on charge. Use the included USB-C
cable to connect iDynamo 6 to a charger that is sold by or approved by the manufacturer of the host you
are using. See section 2.2 How to Use the USB-C Receptacle for Pass-Through Charging. A full
recharge cycle for a completely drained battery pack, regardless of whether iDynamo 6 is also charging a
connected host, takes approximately 2 to 3 hours.

3.4.4 How to Power On / Power Off

In Powered Off mode (General Status LED is off) power on the device by connecting it to a host and
establishing a logical connection using the host software. In response, the device lights the General Status
LED and transitions to Connected Mode. For details, see section 3.1 About Operating Modes and
section 3.2 About the General Status LED.
To power off the device, close the logical connection using the host software, or physically disconnect
iDynamo 6 from the host following the uninstall steps described in section 2 Installation.

3.4.5 How to Force Reset

To force the device to reset, power it off by completely disconnecting it from the host and USB power.
Even if the battery pack is connected, the device powers off completely when disconnected.
