Chapter 2 Using your C5t/F5t Using the RFID reader 39
Using the RFID reader
Your Tablet PC may include an integrated 13.56 MHz RFID reader that you can use to
retrieve information from RFID tags.
RFID tags use radio frequency (RF) transmissions to identify a product, animal, or person.
RFID doesn’t require direct contact or line-of-sight scanning, and can be scanned through
many materials, including clothing. An RFID tag can store much more data than a typical
barcode, and some RFID tags can both transmit and record data. RFID can be used for asset
tracking, identification, process control, healthcare, and pharmaceutical applications.
The RFID reader supports the following formats:
• ISO/IEC 14443A/B
• ISO/IEC 15693
• ISO/IEC 18000-3
• MIFARE Classic
To use the RFID reader:
1. Hold the unit by the handle with the right edge in front of you.
2. Aim the right edge of the unit at the RFID tag and align the RFID antenna/logo with the
tag. Ensure that the tag is 1–1.5 inches (25–40 mm) from the RFID antenna scan area.
