Vault Connect Mobile Case

iPad

The case is compatible with the current iPad Mini (as of August 2024) Gen 6.

Readers

Both the Adyen AMS1 and NYC1 can be used while mounted to or disconnected from the handheld case. When docked, both card readers benefit from pass-through charging from the case's built in back up battery, for extended operating times.

Sled Assembly

The mobile case uses an interchangeable sled to provide compatibility with either the AMS1 or the NYC1 card reader.

1. Remove the blank plate – The sled initially comes with a cover. Slide it to the side to remove the blank plate.

2. Slide on the compatible dock – Slide the docking adaptor for either the NYC1 or AMS1 onto the sled. You will only be shipped the docking adaptor for the card reader you've ordered.

3. Clip in the card reader – Insert the AMS1 or NYC1 without forcing it. When the card reader is correctly oriented it should go in easily and be secure (without falling out) when the case is inverted.

Charging the Mobile Case

The case can be charged with a USBC type connector and a standard phone-charging brick. The sled is equipped with a built in battery. To check the status of the battery, hold the button on the bottom of the sled near the gold connectors. The number of lights indicates the level of charge.

100% Battery = 4 lights
75% Battery = 3 lights
50% Battery = 2 lights
25% Battery = 1 lights

Successful card reader connection is displayed by a green light visible on the card reader device itself.

The case comes with a USB-C charging cable. Optionally, there is an available docking station for the mobile case, and a multi-unit docking station.

When seating the mobile case into the charging dock make sure the gold contact pins on the dock seat fully against the contacts on the case. Charging is indicated when the docking station shows a red (charging) or green (charged) light, indicated for the bay the case is seated in. Also, the iPad shows a charging icon on the screen.

Batteries

The Adyen NYC1 and AMS1 card readers and iPad are equipped with batteries. When Charging, the charging cycle goes Charging Dock > Case Battery > Card Reader Battery > iPad Battery. The iPad will not charge until everything else is fully charged.

TIP: To save iPad battery it is recommended to turn down the screen brightness to the lowest comfortable level. Additionally, dock the mobile case into the charger whenever it is not in use.
