Only swipe it down ONCE andup ONCE. Allow the device to dry for 5 minutes before swiping any other cards.Note: Each long side of the card may be used twice. Each short side of the card may beused only once. Thus, a single card can treat 6 MSR devices with one UP and oneDOWN swipe per MSR device. These limits should not be exceeded due to thepossibility of spreading contaminants from machine to machine and/or reducing ESDprotection.Note: If all six up/down swipes are not used on a fresh card it should be placed in asealed (Ziploc) bag for future use.
