INSTRUCTIONS: How to use the AVID Wand Reader:
1. Power Switch: Turn the reader ON by sliding the lower right hand switch on the face of the reader, forward. When the
reader is powered on, it will emit a double beep sound and the LCD will display AVID/FEC/TR/ISO. To turn the reader
OFF, slide the switch back.

2. Read Button: Press the upper right button on the reader or the green button on the wand handle to put the reader into
the LOOKING mode. The LCD will display LOOKING. When a microchip is found, the reader will emit two beep tones and
display the number on the LCD. If the read button is released before finding a microchip, the message NO ID FOUND will
display on the LCD.

3. Reading: The Reader antenna is located in the round loop on the end of the wand handle. This provides
communications between the microchip and the reader. While pressing down the Read button, scan in a circular pattern
while moving toward the animal’s head, starting from the middle of the back.

The Wand Reader antenna, handle and switch are waterproof and can be completely immersed underwater as long as
the Reader itself is kept out of the water.

Chip orientation plays a major role in optimum performance of the reader and reading distances. In the figure below, CHIP
A, in a parallel orientation to the antenna, will achieve its maximum reading distance towards the center of the coil. CHIP
B, in the perpendicular orientation to the antenna, will achieve it maximum read distance towards the outside edges of the
antenna. It is therefore recommended to move the antenna in a circular motion so that at some point you are energizing
the chip with a greater magnetic field making it easier to find the microchip.
