Major Components

Power and Charging

iDynamo 6 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. Although the battery pack ships with a partial charge, MagTek recommends fully
charging it before use (approximately 2 to 3 hours). 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. 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 power the device ON or OFF use the host to send commands. Powered ON mode will respond with the
General Status LEDs.
To maintain the battery pack's charge capacity as much as possible, follow these guidelines:
Do not discharge the battery pack to 0%. Full discharge shortens the battery life. When possible, plan to
recharge the battery pack well before it is fully depleted. Store the battery pack at the lowest reasonable
temperatures within the device's specified storage temperature range. Temperature is the most critical factor in
extending battery life. Store the battery pack charged to less than 100% (40% is optimal).

To install the battery pack:

1. Remove the battery pack contacts cover from the
rear of iDynamo 6.
2. Make sure the electrical contacts on iDynamo 6
and the battery pack are clean.
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.
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.
