Mounting Options: Desktop anti-skid pad, attached weight, threaded
mounting holes and optional recessed cable, and adhesive and optional
recessed cable, and Hook-and-Loop fasteners, and Lanyard.
USB HID:
Make sure the host and device are powered off. Connect the
small end of the USB cable to DynaMAX. The Micro USB connector can be
swiveled to orient vertically for connections through the mounting surface,
or horizontally for other types of cable run. Connect the large end of the USB
cable to the host computer's USB port. Power on the host computer. Power
on the device using the power switch. On the host, install and configure the
software to be used with DynaMAX (USB HID).
Wireless:
Mobile wireless mode requires batteries: To use a wireless
connection, the device must be powered by two alkaline "AA" batteries.
Install batteries and switch ON power. If the device is waiting to pair, it
should flash the wireless status LED for up to 60 seconds. Otherwise you
may test the batteries by swiping a card and making sure the LEDs flash.
On the mobile device, go to Settings and enable wireless connection. Scan
for devices, and select the DynaMAX you want to pair to. Note: you will see
the DynaMAX and its serial number. When prompted, enter factory default
passcode 000000 (or the device's actual password if it has been configured
differently). On the mobile device, install and configure the software you
intend to use with DynaMAX.
