Device Settings
Parameters that can be customized are:
 Reader ID – The ID number of the Reader. This number will appear in log
files, tag files, and when connecting the Reader to a PC. It is useful for
Readers to have different IDs when more than one Reader is used at a time.
The Reader ID also forms part of the Bluetooth name, e.g. HPR-XX, where
XX is the Reader ID.
 Time zone – Set this to your current UTC offset to ensure the correct local
time is displayed and stored in tag/log files. Refer to Appendix A for a time
zone map or look up your current time zone on the internet. Be sure to
account for any daylight saving hours that may be in effect in your area.
 Backlight Brightness – Set the desired screen backlight brightness. Lower
settings will save battery power, a higher setting is useful for viewing the
device in full sun. Note that under dark or shady conditions the display will
auto-dim. The Reader will return to the configured brightness level when it
encounters bright conditions again.
 Beep Volume – Adjusts the volume of the audible indicator.
 Auto Sleep Time – Sets the amount of time before the reader automatically
goes into to sleep mode to save power. Note that this will not occur if the
Reader is currently in tag reading mode or connected to a PC via USB or
Bluetooth.
 Auto Shutdown Time – Sets the amount of time before the reader
automatically powers off. Note that this will not occur if the Reader is
currently in tag reading mode, connected to external power, or a PC.
 Timestamp Format – Selects the date display format.
 Tag Format – Chooses between hexadecimal (e.g. 3D9.1748D3AD9F) or
decimal (e.g. 985.100006080033) tag number display.
