Mechanical Maintenance
To avoid damaging the read head and contact block, only clean the MSR swipe path and
insertion slot with approved cleaning cards.
DO NOT use liquid cleaning products or insert any other objects into the device.
DO NOT apply any liquid directly onto the device, to avoid seepage into the electronics.
Periodic cleaning of the device’s exterior may be required. To clean the outside of DynaFlex products,
including the LCD display, wipe down the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth and then wipe dry with
a lint-free cloth. The display can also be cleaned using a slightly damp specialty cleaning cloth, like those
used to wipe lenses, monitors, and smartphone displays.
MagTek’s double-sided cleaning card
96700004
is designed to clean the magnetic read head in the MSR
swipe path and the contact pins inside all chip card contact readers. Keeping both of these components
clean is essential to the device’s functioning. MagTek recommends swiping and inserting a cleaning card
once per week to avoid card misreads.
If the device’s micro-suction mounting feet lose their holding power over time, use a clean, damp, lint-
free cloth to wipe the mounting feet and the mounting surface clean, then let both surfaces air dry. This
should restore the mounting feet’s holding power.
