RFID Electrical Considerations
LEDs/Indicators
RFID Battery Charge LEDs
These indicators are visible on the back of the RFID pod. The red LED is on when the unit is in a dock and the RFID battery is charging. The green LED is on when the unit is in the dock and the RFID battery has reached full charge. When the unit is out of the dock, neither LED will be on.

Discharge indicator
If the RFID unit fails to operate or produces error messages on the Falcon screen, it could be an indication that the RFID battery is low. When the bat- tery is close to depletion, the red LED indicator light (located on the back of the RFID unit) will begin to flash. As the battery becomes further discharged, the flashing will increase in frequency.
