Step 1—Use the DLA to find the correct shelf
1. From the Home screen, press Shelve.
2. Use the DLA to read the item that you want to shelve.
a) Hold the item in your hand.
b) Place the DLA antenna against the left side of the item.
c) Press the trigger.
The item should appear on the display.
If the verify option is enabled, the DLA displays a verify icon for each item that meets the verify
criteria. If the item is on an active search list, the verify icon is not shown. The Verify feature is only
available at sites that use RFID Security.
3. Use the DLA’s indicator lights to find the correct shelf for the item.
a) Start at the top shelf and use the DLA to read the first book on
each shelf.
Indicator Lights
Before Correct Shelf = Yellow Light
(slow, high-toned beeps)
After Correct Shelf = Red Light
(slow, low-toned beeps)
b) Continue reading the first book on each shelf until the Red light
and low tone indicate that you are past the correct shelf.
