If our Unimag isn't initially supported on your phone, the auto configuration tool for Android can try to find a matching profile. This tool is used to show compatibility and reader functionality. Whether your phone is supported by your - payment application - is up to the discretion of the app developer.
Step-by-step guide:
*Before getting started, make sure there is no restrictions on your audio, that there are no audio effects on your phone, and that your headset media volume is set to MAX*
- Plug the reader into the audio jack
- adjust the media volume to maximum (Your phone may try to restrict this, especially if it is on Android 6 or higher)
- Some phones may give you a warning about listening to something at high volume. Press "OK" and continue raising the volume
- Some phones need to have the "Unlock Audio" setting changed in the sound menu
- Bring up the quick setting menu by pressing the android menu button. The menu should look like this:
- Some phones don't have this button, but have some equivalent to it, you may have to search for this equivalent. (e.g. On the Samsung s7, holding the back button for a few seconds is the same as pressing the android menu button)
- press "settings" to bring up the settings menu:
- On the settings menu, press "Start AutoConfig". The autoConfig will try to connect with your phone. It can take few minutes to complete.
- While Auto Config is running, try not to adjust the reader in the phone, or adjust your volume.
- If Auto Config fails, try reconnecting the reader, waiting a few moments, and then running the utility again.
