- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

Troubleshooting Common Tag Reader Problems
Tag Reader Won't Read a PIT Tag
If the reader won’t read a tag, make sure the antenna cable is connected securely.
Some newer tag readers such as the Destron 2001F portable tag reader will display
an ANT alarm if the antenna is disconnected or not functioning properly.
Environmental noise interference will reduce the reader's ability to read a tag.
Interference can be minimized by isolating the antenna from metal sources and
florescent lights. Peripheral devices such as digitizer tablets and display monitors can
also cause interference. Changing the refresh frequency of any nearby display
monitors may also help. If the tag reader has a setting for adjusting the antenna
power, try reducing it.
