4.1 Copying Unencrypted 125KHz and 13.56MHz RFID Cards
- Press the "on/off" button to power on the device.
- Place the original 125KHz or 13.56MHz card on the back of the copier, specifically on the induction card region.
- The copier will display a "Disclaimer" page. Press the "OK" button to proceed.
- With the original card still in place, press the "SCAN" button. The copier will automatically scan the card and display its number.
- Remove the original card. Place a writable blank card (e.g., EM4305 for 125KHz, UID for 13.56MHz) on the back of the copier.
- Press the "WRITE" button. The data from the original card will be written to the new card, and a "Write Success" message will be displayed.
4.2 Cracking and Copying Encrypted 13.56MHz Cards
This process requires connecting the copier to a computer and using the provided decoding software. Note that this method may work for some half-encrypted cards but not all fully encrypted cards.
- Connect the copier to your computer via the USB cable.
- Press the "on/off" button on the copier. The copier will display a "Disclaimer" page. Do NOT press any button on the copier at this stage.
- On your computer, open the removable disk that appears. Locate and run the decoding software.
- Within the software, click "OK" to agree to the disclaimer. Then, agree to the copier's "Disclaimer" page. This will establish a successful connection.
- Place your original encrypted 13.56MHz card on the Read/Write area on the back of the copier.
- In the software, press the "SCAN" button to begin cracking the card's passwords. This process may take 2 to 5 minutes.
- Once the passwords are successfully cracked, remove the original card. Place a blank UID card in the Read/Write area.
- In the software, press the "WRITE" button to write the cracked data to the new UID card.

6. Troubleshooting
- Device does not power on:
Ensure that 4 AAA batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity. Replace batteries if they are depleted.
- Cannot read or write a card:
Verify that the card is placed correctly on the induction card region on the back of the device. Ensure the card type (ID or IC) matches the selected mode. Confirm that the card is unencrypted or partially encrypted, as the device does not work for fully encrypted cards without specific software cracking.
- Software connection issues with PC:
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the device and the computer. Power on the device after connecting the USB cable. Follow all on-screen prompts to agree to the disclaimer on both the computer and the device.
- Encrypted 13.56MHz cards cannot be cracked:
While the device and software can attempt to crack half-encrypted cards, it is important to note that not all encrypted cards can be successfully cracked. The success rate depends on the encryption complexity. Ensure you are following the cracking procedure precisely as outlined in Section 4.2.
- Voice prompts are not in English:
The device is stated to have human voice prompts in English. If this is not the case, check for any language settings within the device menu or software, if available.
