Both models: 

Reduced read

may be in the vicinity. 

An electrical device e.g. PC 
Monitor, variable speed 
drive (as used in a dairy 
shed), may be causing 
interference. 

Turn off the other EID reader or electrical device or use 
the stick reader in an area well away from the device 
causing interference. 

Both models: 

Poor scanning 
performance (poor 
read rate/read 
distance

Check scanning performance using known good test 
tags.
