SECTION 3. OPERATION ACTIVE INTERFACE This reader communicates either via the Bluetooth interface or via the USB interface. When it first powers up, if the USB cable is attached, it is receptive to commands on both interfaces. Once it receives a command on one interface, that interface becomes the Active Interface and the other interface is disabled. The Active Interface stays active until the reader is disconnected from the USB cable or a Relinquish Interface command is received.
BulleT MagneSafe Swipe Reader rapidly flash red until the battery voltage is high enough for normal operation (this may take a few minutes). If enabled to operate with authentication (Security Level 4) and when the host completes Authentication successfully, the LED will blink green; the reader is now armed to read a card. If the host fails an Authentication sequence, the LED will turn solid red and stay red until either the host completes Authentication successfully or the reader is powered down.
Section 3. Operation CHARGING THE BULLET READER BATTERY As mentioned above (LED Indicator), the BulleT reader may indicate low battery at power up. The first time this happens there will probably be sufficient battery available for several more card swipes, but the battery should be charged soon. If the low battery warning is ignored and the battery gets too low, the reader will refuse to power up until it has been charged.
