Power Indicators

Connect the mobile card reader to a phone, tablet or external POS device with the USB cable to charge the battery. When powered on, the charging indicator on the bottom right side of the card reader will indicate the charge status of the reader.

When connected to power, the flashing indicates the Card Reader is charging and still has less than 20% power.
If not connected to a power source, slow flashing indicates that there is insufficient power supply. The device will shut down automatically.

Status Indicators

The status indicator lights on the lower left side of the mobile card reader provide information on the status of your device. When only the green power indicator light on the right side is on, the mobile card reader is connected and fully powered.  The mobile card reader comes with safeguards that prevent it from being opened and modified. If the card reader has been tampered with, lights will indicate that it is not safe for use and will need to be replaced:
