3 Using COMPACT MAX to Scan Microchips
Scanning a Microchip (fig. 1)
• Once the reader is switched on, hold it close to the animal and press the “ON/Read” button
• COMPACT MAX will emit an audible “beep” when the scanner successfully detects a microchip
• To stop scanning if no tag is found, press the “ON/Read” button once again
Effective Scanning (fig. 2)
• Hold the scanner close to, or touching the animal
• For optimal reading, keep the scanner parallel to the animal’s body rather than pointing it at the animal
• Scan slowly and repeatedly over the entire body to check whether or not a microchip is present
• Wave the scanner back and forth slowly while scanning, because microchips can be in various
orientations within the animal
• Scan first in a horizontal, then a vertical “S” pattern down the animal’s body, as shown in the diagram
beside
• Consider scanning each animal more than once to ensure any present microchip can be localized by the
scanner
4 Battery
COMPACT MAX can be charged in two ways. You can connect the USB cable to the wall-mounted adapter
or you can connect the USB cable to a USB port on your PC. To extend battery life, COMPACT MAX has an
“Auto-off” function that automatically turns off the reader after 2 minutes (default value) of inactivity.
As the device may discharge during storage, please make sure that the battery is charged regularly.
