Handling and Storage 

 

Proper handling of the device throughout delivery, assembly, shipping, installation, usage, 
and maintenance is very important.  Not following the guidelines in this document could 
damage the device, render it inoperable, and/or violate the conditions of the warranty. 

3.1

 

Handling to Avoid Damage 

Upon receiving the device, inspect it to make sure it originated from an authentic source and has not been 
tampered with.  For details, see 

D998200359 DynaFlex Device Inspection

, available from MagTek. 

 

From device delivery through assembly, shipping, installation, usage, and maintenance, the device must 
not be exposed to conditions outside the ratings i

Appendix A Technical Specifications

. 

 

If the device is exposed to cold temperatures, adjust it to warmer temperatures gradually to avoid 
condensation, which can interfere with the operation of the device or cause permanent damage. 
 
Do not drop or shake the device. 
 
For information about ongoing maintenance of the device, such as cleaning, see section 

7 Maintenance

. 

3.2

 

Handling to Avoid Accidental Tamper 

This device implements active tamper detection, which uses a small amount of electricity even when the 
device is completely powered off.  Devices with a rechargeable battery ship with the battery charged to 
approximately 60%, which provides a shelf life of at least 4 years.  Storage conditions (such as storage 
above 77°F / 25°C) strongly affect this duration.  In devices without a rechargeable battery, and in devices 
with a completely discharged rechargeable battery, the device’s tamper detection feature uses the device’s 
non-rechargeable backup battery.  If the rechargeable battery (if installed) and the backup battery are both 
allowed to completely discharge, the device interprets this as tampering. 
 
Upon detecting tampering, the device locks down and must be returned to the manufacturer to reset.  To 
avoid accidental tamper events and to optimally condition the battery, follow these precautions: 

 

If the device has a rechargeable battery, fully charge the device immediately upon receipt to extend its 
shelf life (about 7 hours if connected to a host USB port, about 4 hours if connected to a 1A charger). 

 

Before storing the device, turn the device off completely.  See section 

6.6.4 How to Power On / 

Wake Up from Standby Mode / Power Off

. 

 

Before storing the device, make sure the battery is charged to less than 100% (60% is optimal). 

 

When stored, charge the device for one hour every 6 months to keep the battery chemistry in optimal 
condition and to ensure it does not completely discharge. 

 

Do not drop or shake the device. 

 

Do not attempt to disassemble the device. 

 

Do not expose the device to excessive heat or cold (se

Appendix A Technical Specifications

).
