iDynamo 6 Overview

iDynamo 6 is an SCRA with magnetic stripe, EMV contact, and EMV / NFC contactless reading capabilities.

To use the contactless capabilities, the device must be powered from a fully-powered USB-C port, or must

be fitted with the optional battery pack for handheld solutions. The removable battery pack gives the flexibility

to accept two or three methods of payment in one compact reader, and to function as a battery-free device if

handheld contactless payments are not required. The versatile mounting bracket included with the device can

be used to enhance mechanical stability with many types of host, including those with iOS, Windows, and

Android operating systems.

Auditory Feedback

iDynamo 6's beeper provides feedback to operators and cardholders about the internal state of the device: The

device sounds one short beep after it has successfully read a contactless tap, and the cardholder can safely

remove the card or device from the contactless landing zone. The device sounds two beeps when an operator

cancels a pending EMV transaction.

Commands

iDynamo 6 is designed to be connected to a host which sends commands and data to, and receives data

from, the device. iDynamo 6 with Lightning can receive a limited set of commands via the USB-C receptacle

in addition to the Lightning connector, even when the device is set to use the Lightning connector as its

primary host interface.

MAGTEK RECOMMENDS CHARGING AT LEAST EVERY 6

MONTHS TO MAXIMIZE OPERATION.
