Periodic Inspection
The merchant or end user, should inspect the appearance of secure card reader on a daily basis, paying
close attention to the following:
1)
Inspect the appearance of secure card reader to make sure it is the right product.
2)
Inspect whether the Swipe Path has an additional card reader or other inserted bugs, See
below.
3)
Observe the Chip Card Insertion Slot to determine whether there are any wires or obstructions. See
below.
4)
Inspect whether the product appearance has been altered.
5)
Check if the firmware version is correct.
6)
Power on the secure card reader and check that the firmware runs well, as the startup will inspect the
hardware security, authenticity, and integrity of firmware. Only the leftmost LED should be on and
blinking green.
MagTek strongly recommends performing security inspections on a regular schedule. Additional

. If any problems are detected, stop using the device,
set it aside in a secure location, and contact the manufacturer or your acquirer for further advice.
Chip Card Insertion Slot
The card slot for the Contact Chip Reader is a
smooth, unobstructed path. Other than the
contact points that read the chip, there are no
electronics, mechanics, or wires in the path.
Swipe Path
The swipe path is smooth. The only moving part
is the spring-mounted read head that depresses
into the device as the card’s magnetic stripe
contacts the read head.
