Now when I go to use it, it takes about 30 seconds to "wake up" and read a card.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 24 Nov 2021 20:35:55 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Archived-Discussions-Read-Only/How-do-I-wake-the-contactless-chip-reader-when-it-s-in-the-dock/m-p/321814#M51687 ParrishFraming 2021-11-24T20:35:55Z
