This function deletes all the EID numbers stored in memory. The stick

numbers in storage, the slower the process of scanning and saving each
tag. Once you have exported or printed tag numbers it’s advisable to delete
them. Erasing all tags also allows animals to be re-scanned and their EID
number saved again.

not push the green bu on before the end of the countdown the ac on will be
