3. Tilt the top cover down and slide it back until it clicks into place.

Note:
To secure the unit, insert the two Torx screws on the back of the unit near the top. The screw is provided with the Linea Pro 7.

Charging Your Linea Pro 7

The Linea Pro 7 uses a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery and supports two modes for charging.

•  Default Mode: Charging time is approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes.
•  Slow Charging Mode: Charging time is approximately 6 hours.
• If equipped with an encrypted magnetic stripe reader, do not allow the battery to fully discharge.

The unit disconnects from the iOS device if the battery is depleted below 3.6V. The Linea Pro 7 supports pass-through charging to the iOS device. The iOS device and Linea Pro 7 may be charged together via the USB Type-C port or by placing it in a Linea Pro 7 Single or 5-Unit Charging Station. Due to current charging limitations, the Linea Pro 7 should not be charged via USB from a Windows computer or Apple OS connection.

•  Connect the approved USB Type-C charging cable into the USB port.

Battery Status

You can check the battery status by pressing the battery status button. The iOS device and the unit do not need to be connected to verify the battery status.
Note:
Numbers illuminated at the bottom of the unit identify the charge status of the battery.

Developing Linea Pro 7 Apps

Software is not provided with your Linea Pro 7. Please contact your reseller or Infinite Peripherals for Third-Party software solutions. Integrating the Linea Pro 7 into your iOS application requires the use of the Infinite Peripherals Universal Software Developers Kit (SDK). The SDK incorporates an API specifically for developing applications to use Linea Pro 7 functionality.
For additional details on using the Infinite Peripheral Universal SDK, please refer to the appropriate SDK documentation.
For the latest Infinite Peripheral Universal SDK, please visit our developer portal at:
https://[developer.ipcmobile.com](https://developer.ipcmobile.com)

Programmable Options

Configure these optional settings via the SDK.

Charging current| The charging current may be set to 500mA (default) or 1000mA.
---|---
Set charging| The Linea Pro 7 can charge the iPhone using its internal battery by enabling the “set charging” setting. When the idea Pro 7 battery is above 20%, it will then start to charge the iOS device battery.
Enable scan button| Select the Enable Scan button in the SDK.
Scan mode| Linea Pro 7 supports the following scan modes: Single Scan
Scan a single barcode by pressing and releasing either Scan button. MultiScan Scanning multiple barcodes by pressing and holding either Scan button. Motion- Detect
The scanner is activated automatically when the barcode is placed near the barcode engine. Multi-Scan without Duplicates Scanning multiple barcodes without duplicates.
Pass-Through

sync

| When enabled and the USB Type-C cable is plugged in, the iOS device is with a Windows computer or an Apple macOS
When syncing is required, enable the PassThrough Sync setting in the SDK. When this setting is disabled and the USB cable is plugged in, the Linea Pro 7 only charges, but does not scan. To use the scanner again, the USB Type-C cable must be removed.
Idle time| Default setting: 5400 seconds (90 minutes).

Turn on the Linea Pro 7 Dual Buttons

The dual-purpose scan button powers on the unit and scans barcodes.

1.  With the unit turned off, press the scan button until you hear a single beep. The unit is ready to use.
2.  Press a scan button a second time to activate the scanner for a normal barcode scanner.
   Note:
   If the Linea Pro 7 is idling for an extended period of time, the power turns off automatically to preserve the charge on the internal battery pack.

Scan Barcodes

The Linea Pro 7 supports scanning 1D/2D barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the barcode reader varies based on
the barcode size.

1.  Press and hold the scan button to activate the Linea Pro 7.
2.  Position the scan head as close to the barcode label as possible so the scan line crosses both ends of the barcode.
3.  Slowly pull the unit back, increasing the distance between the barcode and scan head, until the barcode is read by the scanner.
   Data is displayed on the iOS device.

Magnetic Strip Reader (MSR)

The built-in magnetic stripe reader (MSR) has a three-track bidirectional encryption-capable magnetic read head. A single swipe reads information from all three tracks. MSR functions as an unencrypted MSR until an encryption key is injected into the read head by a designated Infinite Peripherals key injection facility. Contact your Infinite Peripherals account representative for
information.

1.  To activate the MSR functionality, press either Scan button.
2.  With the magnetic strip face up, swipe the card through one end of the card slot to the other end.

Note:
Keep the edges of the card flat on the inner edge of the reader. This ensures the magnetic stripe passes over the read head evenly.

Contactless Card Reader (RFID)

The optional RFID tag/card reader incorporates several RFID formats depending on the model of your Linea Pro 7.

1.  To activate the unit, press either Scan button.
2.  Place the RFID tag/card over the receiver/transmitter as indicated by the RFID label. The data is sent from the unit to
   the iOS device.

Note:
Keep the face of the card/tag flat, with the receiver/transmitter as close as possible. Depending on the type of tag/card, it may be necessary to make direct contact with the surface of the RFID receiver for proper reading and writing.

Servicing the Linea Pro 7 Replace the Battery

When the 2400mAh battery is low, you can replace it in the Linea Pro 7. Be aware that the encrypted functionality special key protection features and card reading ability may be erased and disabled if the battery is removed from the unit for more than one hour.

1. Using a T5 x 40mm Torx™ screwdriver, remove the Torx screw from the back cover. The T5 x 40mmTorx screwdriver is not
   included.

2.  Gently pull the tab in, then up to remove the back cover.

3. Lift up the battery to remove it, and then insert the replacement battery ensuring the battery contacts are aligned.

4.  Replace the battery cover, and then insert the two Torx screws into place and tighten using the Torx screwdriver.

SRED Encrypted MSR Information

The Linea Pro 7 requires proper maintenance to ensure long and trouble-free operation to integrate the PCI PTS 3.x SRED-certified unit into your solution. This includes maintaining a proper battery charge to prevent the Linea Pro 7 from entering Tamper Detect mode. When the battery is depleted or removed, the magnetic read head security feature is disabled and renders the unit unusable. To prevent downtime, do not allow the battery to fully deplete, or remove the battery from the unit, and always place it on a charging station when not in use for extended periods.
Note:
If the security features are disabled or the battery is fully discharged and is in Tamper Detect mode, the unit must be sent back to Infinite Peripherals for servicing.

Reset Your Linea Pro 7

You can perform a soft reset without removing the iOS device using the battery status button and the scan button together.
This feature cycles through the power and allows the unit to restart.

1.  Locate the small pinhole near the USB port.
2.  Insert the end of a pen or paper clip to restart the.
