4-14 Chapter 4: Operation
Note:
As the security tag goes through the Sensormatic® Deactivation zone, the
Sensormatic® system deactivates the security tag and the deactivation tone is
produced by the scanner. If the security tag is not deactivated, a clicking tone is
generated. Both options can be changed through firmware programming.
2. Place the item against the gray label (area above the deactivation coil). The
clicking tone stops when the security tag is deactivated.
The security tag must be detected by the Sensormatic® system before the Scan Enable
Timer expires or it is not deactivated even when it does come into the deactivation
zone. In this case, the Security tag Detected Tone sounds while the tag is in the
deactivation zone. The sound is a rapid clicking. When this condition occurs, the
security tag must be deactivated manually. These options can be changed through
firmware programming.
Manual Deactivation
If for some reason the security tag is not deactivated through normal operation, it can
be deactivated manually. This usually occurs when too much time elapses after the
RealScan 74 reads the bar code. There are two ways to initiate a manual security tag
deactivation.
•
Press the Manual Deactivation Button on the RealScan 74. The RealScan 74 laser
light turns off, disabling the scanner.
•
Pass the Security Tag into the deactivation zone. The Security Tag Detected Tone
sounds (a rapid clicking) and the tag is deactivated and the deactivation tone is
heard. If the deactivation tone is heard first, the detection tone will not be heard if
the EAS tag is deactivated.
Note: The laser light is turned off for manual deactivation to keep the scanner from
reading the bar code a second time.
Adjusting the Good Read Tone
The RealScan 74 has a Volume Adjust button that permits the operator to change the
scanner’s Good Read Tone Volume to a comfortable level depending on the ambient
noise level at that time.
Each time the button is momentarily pressed, the Good Read Tone changes its volume
and sounds a Good Read Tone using the new setting. Repeatedly pressing the
Volume Adjust button increases the volume to the maximum setting and then repeats
the cycle from minimum back up to maximum. However, the scanner reverts to the
programmed volume setting on each power ‐ up.

Note: Button Settings can be saved using the Reset Tag.
