Maintenance
To avoid damaging the read head, only clean the card path with approved cleaning cards.
DO NOT use liquid cleaning products or insert any other objects into the device.
Periodic cleaning of iDynamo’s exterior may be required. To clean the outside of iDynamo, wipe it down
with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth and then wipe it dry.
MagTek’s double-sided cleaning card
96700004
is designed to clean the magnetic read head in the MSR
swipe path. Keeping the head clean is essential to the device’s functioning. MagTek recommends
swiping and inserting a cleaning card once per week to avoid card misreads.
