Adjusting the antenna

Adjusting the antenna

If necessary, use the antenna adjustment tool (shipped with the Handheld) to carefully adjust the swivel tightness of the Handheld antenna.

If the antenna is too loose

Use the antenna adjustment tool to tighten (turn clockwise) the antenna adjustment screw slightly until the antenna swivels properly.

Be careful to only turn the adjustment screw the minimum amount needed to tighten the Handheld antenna swivel.

If the antenna is too tight

Use the antenna adjustment tool to loosen (turn counterclockwise) the antenna adjustment screw slightly until the antenna swivels properly.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Do not over tighten the antenna adjustment screw. Over tightening the antenna adjustment screw may damage the Handheld.

Cleaning the Handheld

The Handheld may need occasional cleaning.

Gently rub the Handheld with a soft cloth dampened with a mild cleaning solution. Make sure that no liquids enter the Handheld case.

DO NOT spray cleaning solution directly on the Handheld.

Storing the Handheld

During storage, the Handheld continues to use a small amount of battery power. Over time (approximately 2-3 days), the battery can lose its charge.

If you plan to store the Handheld for more than a day

Using the Change Battery function, remove the battery from the Handheld.

If you store the Handheld for more than 10 days without a battery, you may have to reset the date and time.

For instructions on setting the date and time, see

Using the 3M™ Handheld RFID Reader for the first time

on page 6.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Always use the Change Battery function when you remove the battery.

If you do not use the Change Battery function when removing the battery, you may lose collected data and/or corrupt the memory card.
