SECTION 3. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The operation of the unit includes inserting and removing the card. Maintenance includes
keeping the unit clean and removing jammed cards from the unit.
OPERATION
The card is inserted with the magnetic stripe down and to the right as illustrated in Figure 2-1.
Remove the card when unit ejects it. Perform any tasks on the PC as directed. The LED gives
status or direction as defined by the institution.
MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance includes cleaning the unit periodically with a lint-free cloth. The
cleaning schedule depends on how clean or dirty the environment is.
Corrective maintenance includes removing the card in case of power failure or card jam. In most
cases, resetting the unit will cause the card to automatically eject the card. To reset the unit
unplug the Power Supply connector (Figure 2-3) from the I/O connector and plug it back in.
If the card does not automatically eject, the card may be pushed out with a special tool, the
Ejector Rod, which is located on the bottom of the unit. The Rod is inserted into a slot in the back
of the unit, shown in Figure 3-1.
