Operation Guide
Keeping the card in parallel to the R385 reader a maximum read range can be obtained. The Reader will still be able to read Card when the card is presented at an angle but this will result in the reducing of read range.
Card and PIN operation
- In Card & Pin mode LCD screen prompt to Enter Pin, enter PIN follow s by “#” key
- Key in PIN + 1 for PIN DURESS (Example PIN is 1234, for duress activation, key pin 1235)
Note that the maximum PIN is up to 6 digit.
