kDynamo Overview
kDynamo makes mobile payments and card reading easier than ever with
magstripe, EMV/NFC contactless, and contact EMV chip card reading
capabilities. There are two models for kDynamo: kDynamo Air and kDynamo
mini. See the Installation and Operation Manual for complete details.
Installation
Installing kDynamo is a straightforward process since the kDynamo uses
user host controls. kDynamo mini keeps you on the go with its smaller size
and handheld ease-of-use. kDynamo Air features a 100mm VESA (Video
Electronics Standards Association) standard mounting pattern that provides
fixed mounting for greater security and convenience, allowing users to
deploy kDynamo Air in a variety of off the shelf semi-mobile or permanent
mounts, and eliminating the need for expensive customization.
