computer.

Select the

3.
Aim the handheld reader at the RFID tag and squeeze the trigger. To obtain a good first-time read, you need
to be within three feet (one meter) of the tag.
4.
Check the mbile computer screen to see if the tag type and ID displayed.
The scan handle reads ATA (full-frame), Wiegand (half-frame), and eGo tags. You do not need to know
