Mounting Bracket

iDynamo 6 provides a universal mounting bracket that
can be used to mechanically stabilize its connection
with the host and provide a more secure, integrated
feel for cardholders to interact with.
To install the optional mounting bracket:
1. Use a paper clip to slide the small covers out of
the mounting bracket retaining holes on each
side of iDynamo 6's housing. Set them aside for
possible future use.
2. Slide the mounting bracket's retaining clips into
iDynamo 6's retaining holes until you feel them
seat firmly in place.
3. Make sure the mounting bracket suction cup is clean.
4. Make sure the rear surface of the host is clean.
5. After connecting iDynamo 6 to the host, press the mounting bracket's suction cup onto the rear surface
of the host.
To uninstall the mounting bracket, reverse the steps above, including re-inserting the retaining hole covers. The
mounting bracket resists slightly when being pulled out of the retaining holes, but is designed to be removable
without damage.

How to connect to iOS Host

iDynamo 6 connects to an iOS-based host via the Lightning plug or USB-C plug, depending on which
connector the chosen host provides.

to open the App Store and browse through the list of all compatible apps.
4. Install and configure the host software you intend to use with iDynamo 6.
5. Make sure the host software is configured to look for the device on the proper connection type.
6. Make sure the host software is configured to look for the correct device.
7. Make sure the host software is configured to properly interpret incoming data from the device.
8. Use the host software or the MagTek Test app to test swiping, inserting, and tapping a card.

To disconnect iDynamo 6 from an iOS host

1. Make sure all installed apps that use iDynamo 6 are either closed or disconnected.
2. Turn off the host's display to avoid accidentally launching or interacting with apps.
3. Disconnect the cable from the USB-C receptacle, if one is connected.
4. Carefully disconnect iDynamo 6 by pulling it straight out from the host's Lightning connector.
