NYC1 - Check the Charge Level

Modified on Fri, 14 Jun, 2024 at 7:06 AM

To view the battery charge level on the card reader itself:


  • Press the power button on the side of the card reader and check the LEDs.  Each green LED represents 25% of the battery capacity. For example, if two of the four LEDs are on and green, the card reader has 50% charge left.


To use your mobile device to view the battery charge level of a card reader:

On the mobile device, go to the list of readers.


For example, your POS app may show the list under Settings > Card readers.


From the list, select the card reader to see its details, including the charge level.


These images show example details screens on iOS and on Android. Your POS app may show a different screen.
