Installation and User Guidance
4.1
Initial Inspection
After receiving the device, the customer should visually inspect the product as follows:
1) Inspect the label found on the bottom of the device (see section 3.1.1 Hardware Identification) and
make sure the label is not missing, obscured, or modified. Check the PCI Hardware Identifier on the
device label and make sure it matches one of the
site for Approved PIN Transaction Security (PTS) Devices.
2) PCI Device Validation: To check for PCI Validation check the Hardware and Firmware ID. Hardware
ID is printed on the label. The Firmware ID is accessible via the device and displayed on the screen.
Go to the PCI compliance web page and search for MagTek, and find the product name, DynaFlex II.
Compare the Hardware ID and Firmware ID:

3) Check the Device S/N and make sure it matches with labels on shipping materials and documentation.
4) Visually inspect the device, per D998200563 DynaFlex II Device Inspection or D998200566
DynaFlex II KIOSK Device Inspection, which is included in the package with each device.
5) Follow the steps in section 0 to view the PCI firmware versions installed on the device. Make sure
this matches one of the
PCI listings, lowercase "x" is a wildcard meaning 'any single character.
4.2
Installation
Connect the device to a USB host for power and control in an attended or unattended environment. The
kiosk version includes features for secure mounting to a surface.
DynaFlex II should be placed away from sources of heat, moisture, dust, and electromagnetic radiation
(e.g., display screens, motors, and security tag mechanisms).
When mounting DynaFlex II with kiosk back cover, it is important that the device be installed such that
cardholders, have a full, unobstructed view of the housing around the card insertion slot opening ("entry
zone"), and magnetic stripe reader swipe path prior to insertion or swipe see Figure 4-1 - Unobstructed
View of Card Insertion Slot and Card Swipe Path. This will ensure that the cardholder can easily
identify suspicious objects in or around the card paths, such as bugs / skimmers / tapping mechanisms,
and wires or antennas. Installation height is one factor in meeting this requirement. DynaFlex II is
designed to maximize visibility of all card paths. Assuming the solution design does not add features that
obstruct the view of the slot, any practical mounting height fulfills the visibility requirement.
