Setup
1. Powering the Device
- The NS208 can be powered by four AAA dry batteries (not included in the package).
- Alternatively, it can be powered via a 5V USB cable connected to a power source or computer.
2. Initial Power On
- Press the 'Power' button to turn on the device.
- Press 'OK' to confirm the 'Disclaimer' page that appears on the screen.
Operating Instructions
1. Copying Normal RFID Cards (ID/IC)
- Power on the device and confirm the disclaimer.
- Place the original card on the read/write area on the back of the copier.
- Press the 'SCAN' or 'READ' button. If successful, the copier will display the card number.
- Remove the original card and place a blank, compatible card (e.g., T5577 for 125KHz, UID for 13.56MHz) on the read/write area.
- Press the 'WRITE' button. A 'Write uid success' message indicates the copy is complete.
2. Copying Encrypted 13.56MHz IC Cards (Requires PC Software)
When attempting to read an encrypted 13.56MHz IC card, the device will prompt: "Card has been encrypted, please connect to computer to decode."
- Connect the NS208 copier to your computer using the provided USB cable. The copier will display a 'Disclaimer' page, and a removable disk will appear on your computer.
- Open the removable disk and run the decoding software. The software is compatible with Windows operating systems (Windows 7, 10, XP) but not with macOS or Linux.
- On the copier, press the 'OK' button to confirm the 'Disclaimer' page.
- Place the original encrypted IC card on the read/write area of the copier.
- In the PC software, click the 'Read' button to begin the decryption process. Wait until the copier displays the card number and the message 'Card has been decoded'.
- Remove the original card and place a blank, compatible UID card on the read/write area of the copier.
- In the PC software, click the 'Write card' button. A 'Write success' message indicates the copy is complete.

Maintenance
- Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
- If using batteries, remove them if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Store the device in a safe place to prevent physical damage.
Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Check battery installation or try powering via USB cable.
- Card not reading: Ensure the card is placed correctly on the read/write area. Verify the card type and frequency are supported by the device.
- 'Card has been encrypted' message: This indicates a 13.56MHz IC card that requires the PC software for decoding. Follow the instructions in the 'Copying Encrypted 13.56MHz IC Cards' section.
- PC software not running: Ensure your computer is running a compatible Windows operating system (Windows 7, 10, XP). The software is not compatible with macOS or Linux.
- 'Write uid success' not appearing: Ensure you are using a blank, compatible card for writing. The copy card must be of the same frequency and type as the original.
User Tips
- Always double-check the frequency and chip type of your cards before attempting to copy to ensure compatibility.
- For encrypted cards, the PC software is essential. Make sure you have a Windows computer available for this process.
- Keep a supply of compatible blank cards (e.g., T5577 for 125KHz, UID for 13.56MHz) for efficient duplication.
- The device supports a wide range of frequencies, but some highly secure or specialized cards (like bank cards or certain OTP cards) may not be copyable.
