Documentation. Using the Explore-R HF Using the Button The push button is used to operate the Explore-R. This provides a means of turning the Reader On, OFF and initiating a tag read. Charging the Explore-R Battery The Explore-R is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery. The battery is charged via the USB port on a PC or via one of the other charging accessories that can be purchased separately. Whenever the Explore-R is connected to a PC the battery will be charged. When charging, the Amber LED will be on. Charging times vary depending on the state of the battery. It is recommended that the battery is charged when not in use. Doing so ensures the battery is kept in working order. A full charge takes approx 2 Hrs. Low Battery Indication The Explore-R indicates a low battery condition by continuously flashing the Amber LED. If this happens it is recommended that you give the Padl- R a full charge. Single button press – Press the button, then remove your finger Long Press – Hold your finger on the button until the reader responds and then remove your finger from the button Turning the Explore-R ON Press the button. The Blue LED flashes 3. If the battery is flat the Explore-R will turn straight off again. This will be seen as the Blue LED flashing 6 times in quick succession. Turning the Explore-R OFF Press and hold the button. The Blue LED flashes 3 times. The Explore-R is also equipped with an auto shutdown feature. The factory default for this feature is to shutdown after 20 minutes of inactivity. If the Explore-R is plugged into a USB connection, the auto power OFF will not operate. Reading a Tag To read a Tag, present a compatible Tag to the Reader’s antenna area. Press and release the button.
In Single Read Mode the Reader will flash Green to indicate a successful read and Red to indicate a failed read attempt.
