4.8.3 Cleaning the Contacts of the Card Reader
The chip card contacts and the contacts on the magnetic strip reader must be
regularly cleaned. Use uncoded moist microfiber cleaning cards for this purpose
(Höft & Wessel order number: E29749).
Only use freshly unpacked cleaning cards as the cleaning fluid on the card
evaporates very quickly.
1. Slide the cleaning card into the reader slot of the chip card reader.
2. Slide the cleaning card back and forth several times in the slot.
3. Pull the cleaning card out from reader slot of the chip card reader.
4. To prevent any of the dirt dislodged from being smeared onto
the contacts again, pay attention to dirt buildup on the cleaning card.
If the area of the cleaning card you are using becomes dirty, use a different
clean edge or use a new cleaning card.
5. Slide the cleaning card at least 5x through the reader slot of the card chip
reader.
