Connection and Mounting

Mounting Options: Desktop anti-skid pad, attached weight, threaded

mounting holes and optional recessed cable, and adhesive and optional

recessed cable, and Hook-and-Loop fasteners, and Lanyard.

USB HID: Make sure the host and device are powered off. Connect the

small end of the USB cable to DynaMAX. The Micro USB connector can be

swiveled to orient vertically for connections through the mounting surface,

or horizontally for other types of cable run. Connect the large end of the USB

cable to the host computer’s USB port. Power on the host computer. Power

on the device using the power switch. On the host, install and congure the

software to be used with DynaMAX (USB HID).

Wireless: Mobile wireless mode requires batteries: To use a wireless

connection, the device must be powered by two alkaline “AA” batteries.

Install batteries and switch ON power. If the device is waiting to pair, it

should ash the wireless status LED for up to 60 seconds. Otherwise you

may test the batteries by swiping a card and making sure the LEDs ash.

On the mobile device, go to Settings and enable wireless connection. Scan

for devices, and select the DynaMAX you want to pair to. Note: you will see

the DynaMAX and its serial number. When prompted, enter factory default

passcode 000000 (or the device’s actual password if it has been congured

differently). On the mobile device, install and congure the software you

intend to use with DynaMAX.
