The metal will reduce the performance of the antenna. The reading distance is reduced if the transponder is still in the needle. 9.4 The scanner does not read the transponder Change the angle of the scanner and try again. Some types of transponders from other manufacturers are disturbed if placed in the center of the scanner-antenna. It is possible that some tags will not function if placed in parallel and at the center of the antenna. Change the direction of the tag or of the antenna. 9.5 The scanner does not work Check the ambient temperature: it has to be between -5ºC and +45º C.
