WandScan 900 Reach Scanner
AKC Reunite WandScan 900 Reach has powerful microchip detection capabilities that help keep the user at a safe distance from uncontrollable, dangerous, or unknown animals. The slim wand design also fits through most crates and cages allowing microchip detection without direct animal contact. The streamlined design leaves less area for animals to easily bite and take hold of, limiting potential scanner damage.
Scanning Instructions
- Insert battery before use.
- Press the red button to turn the scanner on – it will beep and the LCD screen will light up when the sensors are activated. Extend the pole with the red end of the “scanning” wand pointed toward the pet. The scanner antenna is located at the bottom 3.5 inches of the wand’s end.
- Slowly scan the area between the shoulder blades in a zigzag motion.
- If no microchip is detected between the shoulder blades, scan a broader area, including the front legs down to the elbows and the neck and chest.
- When a microchip is detected, the scanner will beep and the screen will display the pet’s microchip number.
- To help reunite a found pet with its owner, go to www.petmicrochiplookup.org or call AKC Reunite at 800-252-7894.
The scanner will beep twice and automatically turn itself off in approximately 30 seconds. For future reference: if the scanner is working slowly, replace the 9-volt battery. For best results, remove metal collars before scanning. Computers, some automobile key FOBS, metal tables, and even fluorescent lighting can interfere with effective scanning. DO NOT HANG THIS SCANNER ON A HOOK! Please lay this item flat when storing. If this scanner is hung by its cord, the antenna will be displaced and significantly impact the effective scanning of pets with microchips. This scanner comes with a twelve-month manufacturer’s warranty. Please do NOT write on, mark on or otherwise damage or deface this scanner as this may void the warranty.
WARNING: Products with exposed solder may contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. Please wash hands after handling internal components and motherboards and avoid inhalation of fumes if heating the solder.
