performance.
1. Connect the scanner to COM1 or COM2 and turn the power on.
2. Run the application “Series 5 Test Tool” in the “Series 5 Tools” folder
in the start menu.
3. From the mode menu, choose “Antenna Alignment”.
4. Select the antenna you wish to align with the available antenna
buttons. Press the “Go” button.
5. Position an object with a tag in the “scanning area”, the point where
you intend to scan.

You can find the complete scanning field by moving the tag around.
When the application detects a tag, the window will flash with the
