4.1 Reading RFID tags with the Reader
Upon starting up, the Reader will resume the last state it was in, i.e. Reading or
Standby. Reading can be started and stopped by pushing the "READ" button on
the device. The text at the top of the Main Screen will toggle between "Reading"
and "Standby" when the “READ” button is pressed.
NOTE: If external power is not connected to the unit, a fully charged battery will run
flat after approximately 3-10 hours of continuously being in READING mode
depending on the RF power setting.
The “Shortcut” button on the Main Screen allows quick access to tag reading
related settings via a popup menu.
Shortcut Popup
Press the Up/Down arrows to toggle from Continuous (constantly read the
same tag) to Unique (will read a particular tag again after the preset time).
Press the Right arrow to toggle reading FDX-B and/or HDX tags.
Press the Left arrow to jump to the Memory Settings screen; this is a useful
shortcut to adjust tag reading and storage settings. The Memory Settings
screen is described in Section 3.
NOTE: Ensure that the Reader is correctly configured to operate as required for
the application, paying particular attention to the Memory Settings and RF Settings.
