Magnetic Stripe Reader
This section describes how to set up and use the snap-on Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) with the MC9500-K. The 
MSR snaps on to the back of the MC9500-K and removes easily when not in use.
When attached to the MC9500-K, the MSR allows the MC9500-K to capture data from magnetic stripe cards. To 
download sample MSR data capture software, visit http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support

Attaching and Removing the MSR
Align and hook the MC9500-K interface pocket onto the MSR’s cleat.

MSR Installation
To remove the MSR press the release button and remove the MSR from the MC9500-K.
Using the MSR
The MSR3000 sample application illustrates how an application handles MSR inputs (refer to Motorola Enterprise 
Mobility Applications User’s Guide).
To use the MSR:
1. Attach the MSR to the MC9500-K.
2. Power on the MC9500-K.
3. Tap  Start > Samples.C > MSR to start the sample application.
NOTE The MSR provides pass-through charging so that the MC9500-K can be changed while MSR is attached and 
connected to a cradle or cable.
While charging, the MSR functionality is disabled.
When hooking the MC9500-K with MSR onto a four bay cradle, remove the guide cup before using.
