Magtek iDynamo 6 Quick Installation Manual

iDynamo 6 Overview
iDynamo 6 is a 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. If the battery pack is
not installed and the host does not provide fully powered USB-C, then the
contactless antenna will not turn on and iDynamo 6 will only read magnetic
stripe and EMV contact cards.

Power and Charging
NOTICE: MagTek recommends charging AT LEAST every
6 months to maximize operation.
iDynamo 6 Type-C only powers on when it is connected to a host via the
host USB-C connector. Once iDynamo 6 Type-C is connected to the host,
powered ON mode will respond with the General Status LEDs. iDynamo
6 Type-C uses the battery pack to power its on-board contactless reader.
Although the battery pack ships with a partial charge, MagTek recommends
fully charging it before use (approximately 2 to 3 hours). To charge the
battery pack, the iDynamo 6 Type-C must be connected via the USB C
receptacle located on the side of the iDynamo 6. To avoid possible damage
to the host or the device, only use the USB power adapter designed for
the host you are using along with the cable included with iDynamo 6. After
iDynamo 6 Type-C is charged, the General Status LEDs will become active.
To maximize the battery pack's charge, follow 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. Check electrical contacts on iDynamo 6 and battery pack are clean.
3. Rotate battery pack contacts to align 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.
Mounting Bracket
The versatile optional mounting bracket included with the device can be
used to enhance mechanical stability with many types of host, including iOS,
Windows, and Android operating systems. To install mounting bracket:
•
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.
•
Slide the mounting bracket's retaining clips into iDynamo 6's retaining
holes until you feel them seat firmly in place.
•
Make sure the mounting bracket suction cup is clean.
•
Make sure the rear surface of the host is clean.
•
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.
