SECTION 3. OPERATION USER SWITCH Only the wireless reader model includes a user switch. This section only applies to the wireless model. The User Switch, or Power Switch, is located on the side of the reader. Pressing the User Switch when the reader is off will turn the reader on. The reader will stay on for a predetermined amount of time (the default is 120 seconds) or until the completion of a card read transaction.
USB MagneSafe V5 Swipe and Insert Reader For the wireless reader, after a card swipe but prior to indicating the status of decoding the card data when data should be transmitted wirelessly, if the the reader is out of range the green LED will blink rapidly (~10 times a second) until the reader is back in range (when data is transmitted).

Section 3. Operation Example 1 – Power Up followed by Authentication and good swipe: 1. Reader Powers Up (State = WaitActAuth:PU). This is typically right after the USB connection becomes available to the application. Application should send the Get Reader State Command to discover the current state of the reader.
USB MagneSafe V5 Swipe and Insert Reader command (State => WaitActAuth:TOAuth). Host doesn’t know because the reader can/does not send any message. 4. Host finally sends Activation Challenge Reply command (State remains WaitActAuth:TOAuth). Reader responds with RC=0x07 inferring the previous transition to WaitActAuth:TOAuth state. CHARGING THE WIRELESS READER BATTERY As mentioned above (LED Indicator), the wireless reader may indicate low battery at power up by showing red for two seconds then turn solid green.
