The text at the top of the display will toggle between "Reading" and "Standby" when the " Stop/Read" button is pressed. NOTE: If the AC Adapter isn't connected to the unit, a fully charged battery will run flat after approximately 3 hours of continuously being in READING mode. Testing The Unit The supplied Fish RFID Test Tag can be placed near the loop antenna to verify correct operation of the unit. When the RFID tag is placed on-axis (fish pointing into the loop), the tag should have read range of approximately 10cm from the centre of the loop. The unit will beep and the tag read indicator will flash blue while the tag is being read. NOTE: The antenna and tag must not be placed on or near any metallic object while reading, as this will significantly reduce the tag read range.
