Operation Overview

The operator initiates a transaction from the host, and the cardholder interacts with the device.
Transaction types may include new accounts, teller window applications, checking, savings, mortgages,
retail transactions, or any other type of transaction where there is interaction between the cardholder and
the operator.
For each transaction type, the host software directs the cardholder. The transaction flow on the device
may differ depending on what the host software specifies and what the cardholder does. Section 7.9
Card Reading provides examples of the cardholder experience for each type of payment. If the device
cannot read payment data, the host software may require the cardholder to repeat the action or require the
host to reject the transaction.

About Operating Modes

During operation, DynaFlex II Go devices transition between distinct operating modes, which are
important for operators to understand:
•
Powered Off Mode is the shipping and storage mode of the device. No external power is applied to
the device through the USB cable or the internal rechargeable battery. In this mode, the device
consumes very little power. To set the device from Powered Off mode to Active Mode, connect the
device to USB power, or press the power button, see Figure 6-1 - Power Button .
•
Active Mode is the device's normal "awake" state when it is in use. In this mode, the device LED
indicators are powered on, and the device is ready to receive commands from the host. For more
information on Status LEDs and LED behavior see sections 7.4 About the Status LEDs, 7.5
Bluetooth LE LED Behavior, 7.6 LED Behavior: Successful Transactions, and 7.7 LED
