Charging the battery
NFC Scanner is equipped with an internal, non-user-replaceable, rechargeable battery. The high
performing Li-Poly battery guarantees up to 1 000 readings.
A discharged battery is completely charged in about 3. hours.
To recharge NFC Scanner, connect it to the computer via USB or a wall adapter power supply. The
reader automatically switches on and the state of the battery charge is signalled by the blue LED
as described in the following paragraph.
Control of the battery charge status
When the NFC Scanner is switched on with the button, the following situations related to the
battery’s charge level may occur:
•an acoustic signal and a fixed blue LED: charged battery (*)
•an acoustic signal and the blue LED blinks each seconds: low battery charge (*)
•no acoustic signal and quick blinking blue LED: battery charge very low. No operation is
possible in this condition; if the reader is not switched off, it will automatically switch off
after 10 sec. It is recommended to charge NFC Scanner up to complete recharge.
If the blue LED starts to blink every seconds during normal use of NFC Scanner, it means that very
little charge is left. The reader will only have few minutes of autonomy.
If you continue to use it, the LED will begin to blink quickly signalling a very low battery charge as
described above.
When NFC Scanner is connected to the computer, the following situations related to the battery
charge level may occur:
•an acoustic signal and a fixed blue LED: charged battery (*)
•an acoustic signal and blinking blue LED: battery charging (*). While charging it's possible
to use NFC Scanner as usual, both connections USB or Bluetooth
®
are available.
(*) 3 quick flashes each 3 seconds means Bluetooth
®
disconnected
In Table 1, you can see the activities of the blue LED and of the acoustic beeper related to the bat-
tery level.
Hardware reset
To reset the device hold the button for 6 seconds (yellow led is switched on during this interval
time) until NFC Scanner makes the power on sound.
Reading distance
NFC Scanner is equipped with an integrated antenna, for the reading of TAG RFID, located above
the button as shown in Figure 1.
The ideal reading distance and conditions for NFC Scanner are as follows.
NOTE: the reading distance varies based on the type of TAG. Also, metal objects and surfaces
located very near NFC Scanner can notably invalidate the reader's performance.
