Using the RFID reader (optional)

Your tablet may include a built-in RFID reader. You can use the RFID reader to retrieve
information from RFID tags. For more information about the RFID reader, see “RFID reader
(optional)” on page 17
.

To use the RFID reader

1. Hold the unit by the handle with the right edge in front of you.

2. Aim the right edge of the unit at the RFID tag. Ensure that the tag is 1–1.5 inches (25–40

mm) from the RFID antenna scan area.

3. Press and release the RFID button on the top of the unit. The RFID light will come on to

indicate that the unit is scanning.

The RFID light goes off and the unit beeps to indicate a successful scan. The ASCII and

Hex data appears in the RFID Tag Data window.

Note: RFID tags are typically used with specialized applications. See your system
administrator for more information.
