Reading RFID tags with the Reader
The reading is automatically started when the unit is powered up and stopped
by pushing the "Stop" button on the device. The text at the top of the display
will toggle between "Reading" and "Standby" when the " Stop/Read" button is
pressed.
NOTE: If the AC Adapter isn't connected to the unit, a fully charged battery
will run flat after approximately 3 hours of continuously being in READING
mode.
Testing The Unit
The supplied Fish RFID Test Tag can be placed near the loop antenna to
verify correct operation of the unit. When the RFID tag is placed on-axis (fish
pointing into the loop), the tag should have read range of approximately 10cm
from the centre of the loop. The unit will beep and the tag read indicator will
flash blue while the tag is being read.
NOTE: The antenna and tag must not be placed on or near any metallic
object while reading, as this will significantly reduce the tag read range.
