Write Tags
This selection is used for programming tag
IDs. Each Tag is manufactured with a unique
ID, which is located on the front of the Tag.
The last two digits on the label are the default
Department ID and Tag ID. This enables Tags
to be used without the need to program them
immediately.
Tags can be regrouped by programming a new Department ID into each Tag. A
Tag must be erased before a new Department and Tag ID can be programmed. Any
Tag that is erased and receives the “Write” message will take on the new IDs. This
means that you must immediately program the new Department and Tag ID into an
erased Tag.
To erase a Tag
1. On the Main window, tap Write Tags.
2. In the Department drop-down, select a
Department ID number.
3. In the Ta g box, select a Tag ID.
4. Click Erase.
5. Tag should beep indicating it has been erased.
Do Not erase another Tag until you write a new
Department and Tag ID to the blank Tag.
To write to a blank Tag
1. In the Department box, select a new
Department ID.
2. In the Ta g box, select a new Tag ID.
3. Click Writ e.
4. Tag beeps indicating it has accepted the new values.

HELPFUL HINTS
Do NOT erase more than one Tag at a time.
Be sure to attach a label to the Tag that indicates its new Department and Tag ID.
The initial Tag ID can be determined by looking at the serial number label.
DO NOT program two Tags with the same Department and Tag ID.
Mounting Seeker Tags
The Seeker Tag can be attached using an adhesive pad that can be purchased with
the Tag. The following section provides detailed steps about applying the Tag
using the adhesive pad.
To apply the adhesive pad to the Tag
1. Remove an adhesive pad from the strip of paper.
2. Turn the Tag onto its front.
3. Line the adhesive pad up with the back of the Tag.
4. Apply the adhesive pad.
5. Verify that the pad is applied correctly and is not
hanging over the sides of the Tag.
To attach a Tag to a resource using an adhesive pad
1. Obtain the resource to which you want to apply the Tag. The
resource surface should be clean, dry and free of condensed
moisture.
2. Remove the adhesive plastic guard.
3. Firmly attach the Tag to the resource. Ideal application
temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).
4. Press firmly and hold for a couple of minutes to activate the
pressure sensitive adhesive.
After application, the bond strength will increase as the adhesive flows onto the surface.
At room temperature approximately 50% of ultimate bond strength will be achieved after
20 minutes, 90% after 24 hours and 100% after 72 hours.
HELPFUL HINTS
Do not place the Tag inside of a metal container because the signal is
blocked and the system may not function properly.
Perform a search after you mount the Tag to test for reception.
Perform a search to verify that the audible tone is loud enough and
the light is visible.
