Connection and Mounting 

Mounting Options: Desktop anti-skid pad, attached weight, threaded 
mounting holes and optional recessed cable, and adhesive and optional 
recessed cable, and Hook-and-Loop fasteners, and Lanyard. 

USB HID: 

Make sure the host and device are powered off. Connect the 

small end of the USB cable to DynaMAX. The Micro USB connector can be 
swiveled to orient vertically for connections through the mounting surface, 
or horizontally for other types of cable run. Connect the large end of the USB 
cable to the host computer’s USB port. Power on the host computer. Power 

on the device using the power switch. On the host, install and configure the 

software to be used with DynaMAX (USB HID). 

Wireless: 

Mobile wireless mode requires batteries: To use a wireless 

connection, the device must be powered by two alkaline “AA” batteries. 
Install batteries and switch ON power. If the device is waiting to pair, it 

should flash the wireless status LED for up to 60 seconds. Otherwise you 
may test the batteries by swiping a card and making sure the LEDs flash. 

On the mobile device, go to Settings and enable wireless connection. Scan 
for devices, and select the DynaMAX you want to pair to.  Note: you will see 
the DynaMAX and its serial number. When prompted, enter factory default 

passcode 000000 (or the device’s actual password if it has been configured 
differently). On the mobile device, install and configure the software you 

intend to use with DynaMAX.
