gravity to drain away any excess moisture that may have entered into the Card Reader slot.
For more information about the mounting bracket kit (21064519) that can be used to tip the

CARD INSERTION
The card must be inserted with the magnetic stripe in the larger guide, as shown in Figure 2-1. If
there are two heads in the unit, the magnetic stripe may be facing in either direction but must be
in the larger guide. If there is only one head in the unit, the primary position of the head is on the
same side of the unit as the PCB. The secondary position of the single head is on the side
opposite the PCB. When a single head is used, the magnetic stripe must always face the position
of the head.
