R1.01 User Manual - INTRODUCTION Tag Link Range The communication range for Tag Link is designed to be typically less than 12 inches. Therefore, it is recommended that the tags be located within 6 to 12 inches of Tag Link. Those tags with off body sensor must be placed on the front panel in the marked area. This will assure that the alarm TIC message is not transmitted.
