The merchant or acquirer should inspect the appearance of secure card reader on a daily basis:

1) Inspect the appearance of secure card reader to make sure it is the right product.

2) Inspect whether the Swipe Path has an additional card reader or other inserted bugs, See Figure

4-1, below.

3) Inspect whether the product appearance has been changed.

4) Check if the firmware version is correct.

5) After connecting the device to a USB-C power supply, it will power on, the LED indicator should

illuminate green and remain powered on to indicate the device is in an idle state, ready for a

transaction. Powering on the secure card reader will test hardware security and authenticity, and

the integrity of the installed firmware.

MagTek strongly recommends performing security inspections on a regular schedule. Additional

information can be found in D998200620 iDynamo 5 (Gen III) SRED, Device Inspection Manual. If

any problems are detected, stop using the device, set it aside in a secure location, and contact the

manufacturer or your acquirer for further advice.

The swipe path is smooth. The only moving

part is the spring-mounted read head that

depresses into the device as the card's

magnetic stripe makes contact with the

read head.
