Page 9: Introduction
Whether accepting a traditional magnetic stripe card or a contact EMV card, eDynamo gives merchants the ability to connect via USB or Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth LE), delivering one reader for mobile or stationary needs. This design leads to saving the user money on a single, low-cost, yet highly secure device. -
Page 10: About Edynamo Components
Figure 1-1 – eDynamo Major Components About Terminology In this document, eDynamo is referred to as the device. It is designed to be connected to a host, which is a piece of general-purpose electronic equipment which can send commands and data to, and receive data from, the device. -
Page 11: About Solution Planning
A smooth deployment of an eDynamo solution requires some up-front planning and decision-making: Determine what type of host eDynamo will connect to. This can be a computer with a USB port or a host with Bluetooth 4.0 hardware that supports Bluetooth LE. When planning, include any additional support or devices required by the host, such as physical locations, mounting, and power connections. -
Page 12: Handling And Storage
Do not drop or shake the device. Do not attempt to disassemble the device. Do not expose the device to excessive heat or cold (see Appendix A Technical Specifications). eDynamo| Secure Card Reader Authenticator | Installation and Operation Manual Page 12 of 34 (D998200110-23) -
Page 13: Installation
About Host Software In any solution, eDynamo 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 or inserts a card. -

Page 25: Operation
4 - Operation Operation About Operating Modes During operation, eDynamo transitions between six distinct modes, each of which behaves differently: Reset Mode occurs when the user presses and holds the pushbutton for 5 to 10 seconds. After resetting, the device progresses to Airplane Mode. If the device is connected to USB power, it immediately progresses to Discoverable Mode. -
Page 26: About The Status Leds
4 - Operation About the Status LEDs eDynamo’s General Status LED and Bluetooth Status LED provide feedback to the operator and cardholder about the internal state of the device (see Figure 1-1). Table 4-2 shows how to interpret the colors and flashing patterns of the General Status LED, and Table 4-2 shows how to interpret the colors and flashing patterns of the Bluetooth Status LED. - Page 27 The device can optionally be configured to light Blue Solid On the Bluetooth Status LED whenever a Bluetooth LE connection is active. eDynamo| Secure Card Reader Authenticator | Installation and Operation Manual Page 27 of 34 (D998200110-23)

Page 28: Card Reading
4 - Operation Card Reading Before use, make sure eDynamo is connected to a power source (see section 3.2 About Power) and is connected to a host (see section 3.3 About Connecting eDynamo to a Host). When the device connected to the host via USB and powered by the USB port, generally the host always keeps a connection open to the device, and the device indicates it is ready for a swipe or host command by keeping the General Status LED green. - Page 29 4 - Operation Figure 4-2 - Inserting a Chip Card Into eDynamo eDynamo| Secure Card Reader Authenticator | Installation and Operation Manual Page 29 of 34 (D998200110-23)
