3-7Chapter 3: Tags, IDTAD, & TTS
Cleaning Bands
All tag bands are for one-time use only. In
long-term applications, periodically replace the
bands and clean the tags.
Storing Tags
To preserve battery life and prevent nuisance
alarms, tags must be turned off with an IDTAD
when not in use. In addition, tags should be
stored away from sources of electrical noise
(see examples listed below) and stored in a
metal container that has a lid.
Do not store tags within 3 feet from any of the
following sources of electrical noise:
• Computer monitors
• Unshielded computer cables
• Television sets
• Medical monitoring equipment
• X-ray and other imaging equipment
• Fluorescent lighting
Storing Bands
Extra tag bands should be stored in a clean and
dry environment.
