Manual Deactivation
Ifforsomereasonthesecuritytagisnotdeactivatedthroughnormaloperation,itcan
bedeactivatedmanually.Thisusuallyoccurs whentoomuchtimeelapsesafterthe

Adjusting the Good Read Tone
TheRealScan74hasaVolumeAdjustbutton thatpermitstheoperatortochangethe
scanner’sGoodReadToneVolumetoacomfortableleveldependingontheambient
noiselevelatthattime.
Eachtimethebuttonismomentarilypressed,theGoodReadTonechangesitsvolume

VolumeAdjustbuttonincreasesthevolumetothemaximumsettingandthenrepeats
thecyclefromminimumbackuptomaximum.However,thescannerrevertstothe
