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 6’s exterior may be required. To clean the outside of iDynamo 6, 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 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 credit card misreads.
