Operation
Getting Started
It is necessary to first fully charge the Battery Pack as described below and to have a few
electronic identification ear tags or implants available for testing. It is very important to
carry out the three steps described in this section before using the reader (see “Battery
handling instructions
Battery handling instructions” section for more information)
Step 1: Installing the battery pack in the device.
1
Insert the battery provided with the product, in the reader.
The pack is keyed for proper installation.
2
The stationary key should be up towards the display. The
battery pack will “snap” into place when it is properly
inserted. DO NOT FORCE the battery into the reader. If the
battery does not insert smoothly, verify it is properly
orientated.
Step 2: Charging the battery pack.
1
Unscrew the protective cap which guards against foreign
material contamination.
Insert the data-power cable provided with the product by
engaging the connector and rotating the lock-ring.
2
Plug the power cord into the cable socket located at the end
of the data-power cable (see Note 1)
