iDynamo 6 Overview
iDynamo 6 is a SCRA with magnetic stripe, EMV contact, and EMV / NFC
contactless reading capabilities. Contactless and NFC reading requires
connection to and power from a fully-powered USB 3.0 port, or the optional
rechargeable battery pack. If the battery pack is not installed and the host
does not provide fully powered USB C, then the contactless antenna will not
turn on and iDynamo 6 will only read magnetic stripe and EMV contact cards.

Power and Charging
NOTICE: MagTek recommends charging AT LEAST every 6
months to maximize operation.
Although, the battery pack ships with partial charge, MagTek
recommends fully charging before use (approximately 2 to 3 hours).
iDynamo 6 USB C only powers on when connect to a host via the host
USB C connection. Once iDynamo 6 USB C is connected to the host,
powered ON mode will respond with the General Status LEDs. iDynamo 6
USB C uses the battery pack to power its on-board contactless reader.
To charge the battery pack, the iDynamo 6 USB C must be connected via
the USB C receptacle located on the side of the device. To avoid
possible damage to the host or the device, only use the USB power
adapter designed for the host you are using along with the cable
included with iDynamo 6.
To maximize the battery pack’s charge, follow guidelines:
Do not discharge the battery pack to 0%. Full discharge shortens the
battery life. Plan to recharge the battery pack well before it is fully
depleted. Store the battery pack at the lowest reasonable temperatures
within the device’s specified storage temperature range. Temperature is
the most critical factor in extending battery life. Store the battery pack
charged to less than 100% (40% is optimal).
To install the battery pack:
1.
Remove the battery pack contacts cover from the rear of iDynamo 6.
2.
Check electrical contacts on iDynamo 6 and battery pack are clean.
3.
Rotate battery pack contacts to align with the contacts on iDynamo 6.
4.
Press the battery pack onto iDynamo 6 until you feel it click into
place. To remove the battery pack, use your thumb to apply pressure
to the iDynamo 6 housing above one of the battery pack retaining
clips and use your finger to pull out on the retaining clip to release.
Mounting Bracket
The optional mounting bracket included with the device is used to enhance
mechanical stability with iOS, Windows, and Android operating systems host
devices. To install mounting bracket:
•
Use a paper clip to slide the small covers out of the mounting bracket
•
Retain hole covers on each side of iDynamo 6 housing. Set them aside
for possible future use.
•
Make sure the mounting bracket suction cup and the rear surface of
the host is clean.
•
Slide the mounting bracket’s retaining clips into iDynamo 6’s retaining
holes until you feel them seat firmly in place.
•
After connecting iDynamo 6 to the host, press the mounting bracket’s
suction cup onto the rear surface of the host.
To uninstall the mounting bracket, reverse the steps above, including re-
inserting the retaining hole covers. The mounting bracket resists slightly
when being pulled out of the retaining holes but is designed to be removable
without damage.
