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 16.

1. Hold the unit by the handle with the right edge in front of you.

2. Aim the right edge of the unit at the RFID tag. Ensure that the tag is 1–1.5 inches (25–40 

mm) from the RFID antenna scan area.

3. Press and release the RFID button on the top of the unit. 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. See your system 
administrator for more information.
