Note
Activate this product in the UK or Ireland, then continue to use it only in
the country where you first power it on.
Pro tip: Your reader may go
to sleep after a few hours of
inactivity to conserve battery
life. To wake it up, simply push
the power button on your reader
once. Within 20 seconds you'll
see four green flashing lights –
this means you're connected.
