Precautions for Reader/Writer Use
1. Use only Star recommended cards.
The reader/writer and the card may not operate normally if other cards are used.
2. Do not use cards that are dirty or oily or wet in any other manner. Also, do not handle
cards with dirty or wet hands. Do not apply tape or glue to cards.
The reader/writer will not operate normally due to the reason above.
* If the card is dirty, clean the card and the reader/writer.
See section 7. Cleaning Cards for details on how to clean.
3. Do not place cards near devices that generate magnetic fields (such as cellular tele-
phones, speakers, televisions, etc.), as this can erase the information recorded on
cards.
4. Do not place cards in direct sunlight or high temperature areas (such as dashboards
in automobiles), as high temperatures can cause cards to bend or can erase the
information recorded on cards.
5. Do not use bent cards, as this can cause them to become jammed in the reader/
writer.
6. Insert cards in the indicated direction.
Inserting them incorrectly can cause mis-operation or it can erase the information
recorded on cards.
7. Never insert anything other than the appropriate cards into the reader/writer.
8. Do not obstruct the insertion or discharge path of the cards.
Obstruction of these paths can cause reader/writer failure, mis-operation or lead to
injury.
9. Do not cut the power while a card is being processed.
Cutting the power can erase the information recorded on cards.
