Reading RFID Tags
For tag read demo purposes:
Once you have enabled the Falcon to read RFID tags, complete the following
steps:
1. Open an application that accepts keyboard wedge data such as Microsoft
WordPad (double-tap the icon on the screen, or go to
Start > Programs >
Microsoft WordPad
).
2. Aim the device toward the tag you want to read.
3. Press the trigger. The front LED turns orange, indicating that the RFID
reader is being used.
4. The device beeps as tags are read.
5. The RFID tag data is entered into the application.
6. When the read is finished, the front LED turns off and a final beep is
heard, indicating that the operation is complete.
The RFID Antenna (in the RFID unit) should be positioned to face the
tag location.

Failure to open an application will inhibit the effective display of tag data.
