Single Mode requires pressing the Read button every time you want to read a tag. The reader tries to read a tag for 10 seconds. You must press the Read button again to read another tag, regardless a tag is read or not Continuous Mode allows you to read multiple tags once the Read button is pressed. Reading stops when the Read button is pressed again. The reader beeps continuously when reading starts. It beeps twice quickly when a non-duplicated tag is read Auto Mode allows you to read tag one at a time by pressing the Read button quickly or continuously read tags by pressing and holding the Read button for more than 1 second. When reading tags continuously, the reader beeps continuously and will issue 2 quick beeps if a non-duplicated tag is read. Reading stops when the Read button is pressed again. Users can choose any 1 of the above 3 read modes that best suit their needs (Auto Mode is the default factory setting). You must either be in a new or saved session to read tags. Press the Red Read button to start reading. The following screen is displayed while tags are being read:

If a valid tag is read the following occurs:

• Backlight on the display lights up
• Green LED to the bottom right of the display flashes twice
• Reader emits 2 short beeps and 1 short vibration
• ID number will display on the screen and will be saved into reader’s memory with its timestamp (and GPS location detailed, if enabled)
• Both the Location and Total counters increment by 1

Invalid tags are tags that have already been scanned in the same session (i.e. duplicated tag reading) or tags the reader fails to read.

If a duplicated tag is read, the following is shown:

• Backlight on the display lights up
• Green LED to the bottom right of the display flashes once
• Reader emits 1 short beep and 1 short vibrate
• ID number will display on the screen but will not be saved into the memory
• Location counter shows the location where the ID was saved in the session
• Total counter remains unchanged

If no tag is read, the following is shown:

• Backlight is turned on
• Red LED stays on for 1 second
• Reader displays “NO TAG!” warning
• Reader emits 1 long beep and 1 short vibrate
• Both counters remain unchanged

Clearing a Session

Clearing a Session puts it away from the Reader main memory and make it inaccessible to users. The cleared Session and all of its data are simply moved to another location of the reader memory. They are not deleted and can be retrieved via the GPScanID Software (supplied along your reader). Please refer to the GPScanID Software menu for details on how to retrieve cleared Sessions.

The Reader support 3 clear modes:

• Clear Current clears the current Session. If the current session is the only session available in the reader, a new session (with Session Number one increment from the current largest Session) is created automatically to enable users to read tags continuously.
• Clear Select allows users to select a Session and clears it one by one.
• Clear All clears the all Sessions in the reader. A new Session 0001 will be automatically created to enable users to read tags straight away.
