Using the RFID reader
You can use the built-in RFID reader to retrieve information from RFID tags. For more 
information about the RFID reader, see “RFID reader” on page 12.
To use the RFID reader
1. Hold the C5 by the handle with the right edge in front of you.
2. Aim the right edge of the C5 at the RFID tag. Ensure that the tag is 25–40 mm from the 
RFID antenna scan area.
3. Press and release the RFID button on the top of the C5. The RFID light will come on to 
indicate that the unit is scanning.
The RFID light goes off and the unit beeps to indicate a successful scan. The Ascii and 
Hex data appears in the RFID Tag Data window.
Note: RFID tags are typically used with specialized applications.
