Configuration Settings Addendum 11 • New T ag Timeout: The amount of time to wait between tags before painting will automatically stop. This is the maximum amount of time spent waiting for new tags after a tag has been read. If set to Infinite , then painting will stop only when the trigger is released, a T otal Read Timeout occurs, or the minimu[...]

About RFID Tags 14 Falcon ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer About RFID Tags RFID Antenna When attempting to utilize the RFID re ad functionality of the F alcon 5500 RFID unit it is important to note that the antenna is linearly polarized. This feature requires the tags to be similarl y aligned in a planar field to optimize read range and efficien[...]

About RFID Tags Addendum 15 Tag Orientation Factors Affecting Performance • W ater or water-based products will inhibit (absorb) the signal. • M etal surfaces near the tags may affect performance. • Misuse of tags (i.e. bending the tag antenna) could cause the tags to become dysfunctional. • Any emitted radiation in the 902Mhz to 928Mhz ran[...]
