⚠️ HINATA Lite users: update your reader and HINATA IO
HINATA Lite previously required a copper foil sticker when reading some compatible cards. The new scanning process resolves this issue in software, so the sticker is no longer needed after updating.
Update the reader to the latest firmware and install the latest HINATA IO from the Download Center. HINATA Lite units shipped on or after August 15, 2026 will no longer include a copper foil sticker because it is no longer necessary.
