running, the ‘Status LED’ is flashing.

If the transponder is within the reading range and can be read, the
green test mode LED (OK) is ON. If the transponder is out of range,
the red test mode LED (error) is ON.
To test the writing range, DIP switch 4 must be ON. The test procedure
is the same as on reading test.#
To leave the test mode switch DIP switch 3 to OFF. The Status LED
and the test mode LED’s go out.
