TESTING A TAG FOR ID, BATTERY LEVEL AND

WARRANTY DATE

The ID-TAD can be utilized to test tags if they are in an ON state

or OFF state. You must place the tag in the proper orientation in the

receptacle of the ID-TAD for a successful read and display of tag

data. Do not remove the tag during this process.

1. With the ID-TAD unit powered up and the ACCUTECH

screen displayed, Place the tag in the correct orientation

within the tag receptacle (4).

2. Press ENTER once. The screen will display “Wait reading

tag” (5). Do not remove the tag during this process.

3. Once the tag data is received the screen will first display

the tag type and #, the battery level and then warranty date.

4. If “NO TAG ERROR” (7) is displayed, reorient or reseat

the tag in the receptacle of the IDTAD and press enter.

Tag Types:

1. BR - Band Removal Tag (yellow)

2. CB - Cut Band Tag (white)

3. LT – Long Term Care Tag (gray)

BAT – Tag Battery Level:

1. The tag battery level will be read as a percentage. A read

of 1% to 100% means the tag tests good and can

continue to be used. Once a tag falls below 1%, the tag

will generate a low battery flag and display LB (8).

Immediately remove and replace the tag, do not continue to

use a tag with low battery.
