The VeriChip H2 Reader is hand-held Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) reader which activates an implanted
VeriMed™ RFID Microtransponder with a low power, low
frequency (LF) electromagnetic field. The Reader
receives a unique 16-digit ID number from the VeriMed
Microtransponder. The ID number is used to provide, with
patient consent, physicians and other health
professionals access to a secure database that will
provide the implanted person’s identity and health
information provided by the patient.
Indications
The VeriChip H2 Reader is indicated for use as a portable
instrument that non-invasively reads the ID number of an
implantable VeriMed Microtransponder that is inserted
into the arm of the patient. When activated, the VeriMed

Scanning Procedure for
Locating an Implanted
VeriMed Microtransponder
To scan/locate a Microtransponder
first activate the Reader as
described above. Press and release
the F1 button when instructed on the
LCD. DO NOT hold down F1 button
during scan operation. Place the
Reader next to the skin, parallel and
along side the area to be scanned (see photo). Starting
about 2 inches above the elbow, move the scanner slowly
up the rear part of the arm. The injection site may vary
but it typically will be between the elbow and shoulder of
the triceps area of the upper arm. When a VeriMed
Microtransponder is located, the VeriChip H2 Reader will
emit an audible chirp and display the 16-digit ID number
on the LCD screen.
Depending on which communication configuration is
established, the VeriMed ID number will be entered via
USB or Bluetooth into the designated entry field in the
web enabled VeriMed Patient Registry. If no
communication is established, the PC keyboard can be
used to manually enter the ID number.
Turning the Reader Off
The Reader can be turned off manually at
any time by simultaneously pressing
and holding down the F2 and F3 buttons.
If the Authorization Code is enabled and
an incorrect Authorization Code be entered, the unit will
immediately power-off.
The Reader will automatically power down should it
remain idle for 5 minutes.
Use of VeriMed Reader with Passive
Microtransponders of Different RFID Frequencies
The VeriMed H2 Reader is capable of reading the VeriMed
Microtransponder frequency of 134.2 kHz as well as 125
KHz. Place the Reader within the effective range of the
passive RFID Microtransponder (no more than 2.5 inches)
to obtain the ID number from the Microtransponder.
Installing/Replacing the Batteries
Remove the battery compartment door
by pressing the tab and sliding towards
the base of the Reader case. Insert 4 AA
alkaline batteries into the battery
compartment as indicated (see photo).
Replace the battery compartment cover and test the
Reader using the provided test RFID Microtransponder.
When the Reader battery power level drops to a point
insufficient to read a VeriMed Microtransponder the Reader
will automatically shut off. The Reader will display “LOW
BATTERY” followed by “REPLACE BATTERY”. When these
messages appear on the LCD, replace batteries immediately.

Authorization Code Option
To provide a means of securing the VeriMed H2 Reader
against unauthorized use, an optional start-up
Authorization Code function is provided. This modality
consists of 8 entries of the two auxiliary buttons, F2 (left)
and F3 (right) in a predefined sequence. The factory
default setting is ‘disabled’, i.e. the unit will not prompt
the user to enter an Authorization Code, but rather will
immediately proceed to scan mode and establishing a
link with the host computer. This feature can be enabled
or disabled through the Configuration Mode (see
configuration mode section below).
If enabled, the Authorization Code is entered after the
Reader is turned on and self-tests are complete. The
user must press the two auxiliary buttons a total of 8
times in predefined sequence. This sequence can be
customized and stored in the EEPROM. The default
sequence (programmed at the time of manufacture) is:
F2,F2,F3,F3,F2,F3,F2,F3
Enabling Authorization Code
To enable authorization process, the user must send
the ‘?’ character from the HyperTerminal to the unit
via a serial link in Configuration Mode.
To disable authorization process, the user must send
the ‘!’ character from the HyperTerminal to the unit
via a serial link in Configuration Mode.
Changing the Authorization Code
To change this sequence, the user must power up the
unit and go into Configuration Mode. To enter the new
sequence, the user must send the ‘#’ character to the
VH2R over the serial link. Immediately after that the
unit will accept exactly 8 characters ‘l’ for F2 and ‘r’
for F1 (“l” for left and “r” for right button locations in
lowercase only) in the user defined sequence and the
new key is stored in the Reader EEPROM.
If the Code becomes lost, call customer service for
assistance.
If the key sequence is entered incorrectly, the unit
displays ‘ACCESS DENIED’ on the LCD and shuts
down after 1 second.
If the sequence is entered correctly, the unit
immediately tries connecting to the host according to
the set communication mode.
Configuration Mode
To operate in this mode the user should perform the
following actions:
• Connect the USB cable from the host computer to the
VH2R Reader.
• Turn on the VH2R Reader by pressing the F1 (large
center) and F2 button. The VH2R Reader will go through
its self-test procedure. Enter the Authorization sequence
as described later in this document if you are prompted
to “Enter Code” by the message on the unit’s LCD.
• Start the appropriate communication program on the
host computer system. For example, the user may
launch the HyperTerminal program and connect to the
serial port created by the USB driver. The VH2R reader
will stay in this idle mode for up to 5 minutes. The user
has two choices – to initiate a scan (normal operation)
or enter the configuration mode. If no choice is made
until the timeout, the unit will power down. The
communication program (HyperTerminal) should be set
to 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no parity (8-N-1).
To enter the configuration mode, the user should send a
predetermined command from the host to VH2R (letter ‘c’
in lower case). The power down timer will be extended upon
receiving any character from the host system. When the
timer expires, the unit will power down. All configuration
settings are stored in non-volatile memory immediately
after they are entered. To exit the configuration mode, the
user can either use a special command from PC – letter ‘q’
in lower case (the VH2R will go into Idle mode), or press the
F1 button (the VH2R will enter scan mode).

VeriMed H2 Reader Communication
The unit has two communication devices – USB and Bluetooth.
Only one communication mode can be used at any time.
Both communication channels are bi-directional. When a
passive VeriMed Microtransponder is acquired by the
VH2R Reader, the ID number is sent to the host computer.
The host computer can also send certain information back
to the VH2R Reader. This feature is used to change current
configurations of the VH2R Reader, including possible a
switch between its communication modes (from USB to
BT and back) and utilizing the Authorization Code option.
VeriChip H2™ Reader Operation in USB Mode
To operate in this mode the user should perform the
following actions:
• Connect the USB cable from the host computer to the
VH2R Reader. The USB port is located in the rear of the
case. Lift the protective cover and insert the cable.
• To perform the scan, the user should press the F1
button once again. The VH2R will turn on the LF (low
frequency) interrogation field and try to acquire a
Microtransponder. The field will stay on for 12 seconds
or until a valid Microtransponder is acquired. If a
Microtransponder has not been acquired, the VH2R will
go into the idle mode. If a Microtransponder has been
acquired, its ID number will be displayed on VH2R LCD
and sent to the host computer via the USB interface.
After this the VH2R will enter its idle mode and be ready
for another scan session or power down after 5
minutes. The unit can be powered down from this state
by pressing the two smaller buttons (F2 and F3)
simultaneously.
Note: Operating in the USB mode, the unit does not monitor
the status of communication link. That is, if the USB cable
becomes disconnected, the user will not be notified. If the
cable was not connected to the host system, the latter may
not be able to open the serial port. Disconnecting the cable
during the communication session may produce an error on
the host system.

host computer side. For example, a communication program
(HyperTerminal or “keyboard wedge”) may be open and left
running regardless of the VH2R being powered on or off. The
VH2R stores the host’s BT MAC address in its non-volatile
memory, and will dial only this address no matter how many
devices it discovers performing the inquiry. The MAC address
should be entered into the device by using other communication
modes (such as USB or BT Slave) that does not require a priori
knowledge of this address. When Bluetooth encryption is
desired, it must be enabled on both sides of the link (an identical
passkey word supplied). In this case the passkey should be
entered on the PC side only once, during the ‘pairing’ process. All
subsequent connections between the members of the same pair
will be encrypted automatically, and establishing subsequent
links will not require entering the passkey unless the devices
become ‘unpaired’.
The operation is performed as follows:
To operate in this mode the user should perform the following actions:
• Bring the VH2R and host system within Bluetooth range
(about 10m under most conditions).
• Start the communication program on the host side
(HyperTerminal or keyboard wedge). The exact number of
the serial port to be used for this connection should be
provided by the Bluetooth service. It has been noticed that
although Windows XP has some built-in Bluetooth support
that can be used to establish the connection, it is
significantly slower than a proprietary stack that comes
with particular BT hardware (e.g. BlueSoleil).
• Power up the VH2R by pressing the F1 button and enter the
authorization code if prompted. The device will try to discover
and dial the host. If this is the first time connection, the user
must enter the passkey on the PC side to allow the VH2R
connection to the PC. If this process has been successful, the
user will be prompted to press the F1 button once again to
initiate scanning for a Microtransponder. If the user presses
the F1 button without waiting for connection, the VH2R will
abort the attempt and go into standalone mode. If the unit
cannot discover the host within 20 seconds, it will
automatically abandon the attempt and proceed in
standalone mode.
• The VH2R will turn on the low frequency (LF) interrogation field
and try to acquire a Microtransponder. The field will stay on for
12 seconds or until a valid Microtransponder is acquired. If a
Microtransponder has not been acquired, the VH2R will go into
idle mode producing a corresponding message on the LCD. If a
Microtransponder has been acquired, its ID number will be
displayed on VH2R LCD and sent to the host via the BT
interface (if the connection had been established). After this
the VH2R will enter its idle mode and be ready for another scan
or power down after 5 minutes. To shut the unit down earlier,
the user can press the F2 and F3 buttons simultaneously.
VeriChip H2 Reader Configuration Options
USB Override.
As described above, the normal way of changing the connection
mode is through the established USB (serial) connection.
However, to recover from a situation when the Bluetooth-
enabled host becomes unavailable for some reason (for
example: The unit had been configured to work as Bluetooth
master and programmed with a particular slave MAC address,
but that host device is not available), an emergency override
procedure exists.
To activate the override, the user should power up the VH2R
while holding down the Left auxiliary button (F2) until the unit
enters the self-test mode. The unit will switch into the USB
connection mode regardless of what had been stored in the
EEPROM, and thus enable the user to connect the Reader to the
host by means of USB cable and perform necessary changes.
This override is not memorized in the EEPROM and so is valid
for this session only, until the unit is powered down. This
procedure can also be used for temporary work in USB mode if
the normal Bluetooth-enabled host is unavailable (a different
work location, etc.) without the need to re-configure the device.
Cleaning
Wipe the Reader with alcohol wipes. Do not submerge or
spray liquid directly on the Reader.
