What does the light on my reader indicate?

If there are no lights flashing on your card reader after pressing the power button, the battery of the card reader is likely dead and the device will need to be charged. SwipeSimple recommends plugging carder readers into a wall outlet for charging, rather than a handheld battery pack or computer.
