Safety Instructions

Please read all of these instructions before using your printer. Observe the markings on the rear panel of the printer.

1 UNPACK THE BOXES

Keep the packaging in case you need to transport the printer in future.

Note: To complete installation and begin using your printer you will also require a roll of a suitable Magicard dye-film (not included).

If you wish to use a custom HoloKote™ logo, you will also need a custom HoloKote™ key (option).

To prevent electric shock do not remove covers.

Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

There are no user serviceable parts inside. In the event of malfunction, refer servicing to your

nearest Ultra Electronics service center.

Use only a power source within the limits marked on the rear panel label.

Take care not to spill any liquid on the printer.

Ensure that the power supply cord is not longer than 2 metres and includes a properly grounded connection.

The printer's Parallel and USB interfaces must never be used simultaneously.

If using this printer in Germany:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for this printer, the

building installation must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

Warnings, Cautions and Notes

Throughout this guide and in text on the CD, the following conventions are used to identify important information.

WARNING - Warning messages indicate where personal injury could result from not following the correct procedures.

CAUTION - Caution messages indicate where damage to equipment could result from not following the correct procedures.

NOTE - Notes convey important information that is identified within the text.

When Handling the Printer

Avoid touching the thermal printing edge of the thermal printhead. Grease and contamination will shorten its life.

Before transporting the printer, remove the dye film and card hoppers. Pack the printer in its original packaging.

If you have a problem with the installation or operation of your Magicard printer, then first please recheck to ensure that you have followed the instructions given in this guide and on the CD ROM. If you still have a problem you will be covered by our standard warranty and may also be covered by our 2 year UltraCover Plus extended warranty and Loaner Service.

Follow the instructions on your UltraCover Plus warranty card and overleaf under “Warranty” to obtain assistance.

We also recommend that you visit our website www.ultramagicard.com where additional FAQs and technical support information is available, together with a “contact us” E-mail form to report any problems.

LOAD THE CD IN TO YOUR PC

10

Load the CD ROM into the PC you have connected to the printer. If the CD does not run automatically, click the start button, then click on “run”. Type “D:\autorun”, where D is the drive letter for your CD drive, then press the return key. Now follow the on screen instructions to install the printer drivers. On completion of installation, the Printer Configuration Wizard will be activated to help you easily configure the printer for your particular requirements. The CD also contains a comprehensive User Guide with technical support information and descriptions of the additional features provided by Magicard Rio and Tango printers. It is recommended that this is installed to your hard drive when the printer driver software is installed.

M9005-776, M9005-726, M9005-727, M9005-724, M9006-045 specifications

The Ultra Electronics M9005 and M9006 series represent advanced electro-acoustic technology, designed for various defense and security applications. These systems are known for their cutting-edge features and robust performance, making them essential tools for modern military and surveillance operations.

The M9005-725, M9005-778, M9005-779, and M9005-777 models offer distinct functionalities and structures, tailored to meet the diverse needs of military and intelligence agencies. Each unit employs advanced signal processing technologies, ensuring superior detection and classification capabilities in real-time environments.

One of the key features of these models is their high sensitivity and low noise characteristics. This is crucial for operations where subtle acoustic signals may indicate vital intelligence or threats. The systems are designed to detect a wide range of frequencies, making them versatile for numerous applications—from underwater explorations to aerial surveillance.

The M9006-045 model builds on this foundation with enhanced data fusion capabilities. By integrating multiple data sources, including radar and electronic signals, the M9006 provides a comprehensive situational awareness picture. This integration minimizes the risk of false alarms, allowing personnel to focus on genuine threats.

The M9005 series units are also equipped with advanced user interfaces that allow operators to quickly analyze auditory data. With intuitive controls and display systems, mission-critical information is readily accessible, improving decision-making processes in time-sensitive scenarios.

Robustness and durability are additional hallmarks of the Ultra Electronics M9005 and M9006 series. These systems are designed to withstand the rigors of various operational environments, including extreme temperatures and humidity levels. The rugged construction ensures that they remain functional even in harsh conditions, a vital requirement for military and emergency situations.

Power management is another notable aspect of these technologies. The M9005 and M9006 series are engineered for efficient energy use, allowing for extended operational periods without the need for frequent recharging or battery changes.
