c. Connect uDynamo
The uDynamo can be used with Android or iOS devices.
Charging
To charge the battery, connect the device to a USB host interface. Ensure the LED indicator shows that the
battery is charging (flashing amber and green). The uDynamo is powered by rechargeable internal lithium-
ion batteries. The uDynamo can process up to 300 swipes on a single battery charge. If the reader is left on
awaiting a card swipe, the battery will deplete in 3.5 hours. Recharging can take up to 6 hours.

LED Indicator (Charging)
Card transactions may be performed using either the audio jack or USB interface while the uDynamo is
charging.
USB connection
Using the included Micro-USB cable (Micro-B), connect the uDynamo to a host USB port on your computer
or mobile phone/tablet. Then launch QwickPAY. The device is now connected and ready to use.
Audio jack connection:
When using the uDynamo’s audio jack connection, make certain to set up QwickPAY to communicate with the audio
device. Plug the uDynamo into the audio jack. Then launch QwickPAY and tap on MENU. Then tap on QWICKPAY
SETTINGS. Select the uDynamo device (‘On’). Then press the DONE button. Updating SETTINGS will enable
QwickPAY to automatically:
1. The volume of the device will be automatically turned up to max when the uDynamo is plugged in. (If
you have a physical mute button on your device, QwickPAY cannot automatically detect this and you
will need to turn mute OFF.);
2. Turn the device ON and OFF automatically, to save on battery usage. (QwickPAY will turn on
automatically only while you are on a transaction swipe screen and power off as soon as you go to
another screen in order to decrease the frequency of recharging.)
The device is now connected and ready to use.
Protect the uDynamo’s audio jack by folding it in when not in use.
Note: The uDynamo has no user controls. It requires QwickPAY to control the operation of the card reader.
