Recommendations

For reliable smartcard operation, use compatible Class A, B, or C smartcards and follow your organisation’s security policies for card handling. To maintain quiet key action and prolong the device life, avoid excessive force on keys, wipe spills promptly and allow the spill drain to clear any liquids before resuming use.
