It is recommended to read RFID tags by aiming the antenna area of RP902 MFi at the RFID tag horizontally (as shown in the picture below.)
Reading distance may be impacted by the type of tag and environmental conditions.
Reading range is 1m when power is 22dBm, and the maximum reading range is 2m when power is 27 dBm.
Charging the Battery
- Plug the one end of the USB Type-C cable into the port on the reader and another end into a USB port on the host PC or power adapter.
- Please fully charge the reader (or until the Status LED turns off) before use. Required Time for full charge: One-Slot Charging Cradle: 2 hours USB Type-C Cable: 3.5 hours
Read Mode
Single read: The terminal only reads one tag upon each press.
Please release the Power / Trigger Key and press again to read another tag. The LCD screen will show the EPC code of the RFID tag being read (shown as picture below).
Multiple read: The terminal can read multiple tags that are under RF coverage upon each press.
Keep pressing the Power / Trigger Key to read the tags that have not been read. The tags that had been read will not be read again, unless you release the button and press again.
When there is only one tag: Shows the EPC Code of the tag being read.
Multiple tags being read: Shows the amount of tags being read.
