Connect the reader to a computer or compatible device using the built-in USB Type-A cable. For devices with USB-C or micro USB ports use a suitable adapter (for example a USB-C to USB-A adapter). The reader is plug-and-play on supported systems; once connected the LED indicates the USB connection and will flash during data transfer.

Usage recommendations
Only insert contact cards that have visible metal contacts on their surface; RFID or contactless-only cards without visible contacts are not supported. Use the reader on a stable surface and avoid excessive bending of the fixed cable. For mobile devices, use a manufacturer-recommended adapter to ensure reliable power and communication.
