5/29/2012 Page 2
This is the primary screen option used to read your BAT RF tags installed on your vehicles. To
activate this option press the up ( ↑ ) or down ( ↓ ) keys to highlight the appropriate option, then
press the Enter Key found in the middle of the up/down and left/right arrow keys. After
depressing the Enter Key you will be presented with the Select Device screen as shown below.
Select the type of BAT RF Sensor you wish to read at this time.
TracBAT sensors
AirBAT sensors.
Select your choice by using the up/down keys to highlight your desired Sensor type and pressing
the Enter Key.
NOTE: Make sure you are within range of the sensor before attempting to read. If several
sensors can be seen at once it may be necessary to change the range so that only close
sensors can be read. Get close to the desired sensor with the lowest range setting so that
you know which sensor you are reading.
For advanced Users only:
The Range setting allows for tweaking of the read range of the unit. Normally you want this to be
set at 1. On rare occasions the user may want to scan the area for tags that may not be right
near them. In this case the HandBAT allows for range to be increased up to 3. This is
accomplished by pressing the right arrow. After reading, the range should be reduced to insure
the next user does not accidentally read an incorrect sensor. The sensitivity can be manually
reduced by pressing the left arrow.
READING TracBAT mileage sensors
If you have a TracBAT mileage sensor, then use the up/down keys to highlight this menu item.

within range or there is a problem with the tag, then you will get the following Read Failed screen.
This may be caused by not holding your handheld reader within range of the TracBAT mileage sensor
you wish to read. Please move to within the reading range and try again. If the problem persists, and
