3.5.4 How to Tap Contactless Cards / Devices

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 tap a contactless card or electronic payment device, cardholders should do the following:
1) If the cardholder is using an electronic payment device, such as a smartphone, make sure the payment
device has turned
NFC
see the documentation provided by the smartphone manufacturer and payment app publisher.
2) Wait until the host software indicates it is ready for a tap.
3) Tap the card or electronic payment device on the contactless landing zone, indicated by the EMVCo
Contactless Indicator on the device's face (see Figure 3-3). The card or device must be centered over
the contactless landing zone.
4) Wait for the device to beep. The host software may also display progress showing whether the tap
succeeded or failed. Because each smartphone model may have its NFC antenna placed differently,
the ideal tap position may vary by make and model. For example, Samsung users may need to center
the phone on the contactless landing zone, while iPhone users may need to tap the top of the phone on
the contactless landing zone.
5) Remove the card or electronic payment device from the contactless landing zone.
