POSITIONING THE SYSTEM
6. Position the system a
minimum of 18” (Inches) from
the doorframe and on the side
closest to the door handle.
7. Cut the rubber molding to the
length that will allow it to cover
the wire from the wall to the
system. You must cover the
wire, using a metal pancake
molding If the wire is in an
area where it will be walked
upon.
8. Insert the system power wire
into the rubber pancake
molding through the slit on the
back. Using double sided tape
fasten the rubber molding to
the floor.
9. Plug the power supply into the
closest outlet. We do not
recommend using an
extension cord for the system.
10.Test the system by placing
one of the hard tags into the
system. The system will beep

TAGGING GUIDELINES
1. The tag should be visible to
the customer.
2. Tag uniformly, it speeds up
removal.
3. Tag near a price label. It
assists in the removal.
4. Place the tag as high as
possible when tagging silks &
light or stretchy fabrics.
5. Except for leather goods we d
not recommend locating the
tag at the seams. The seams
are easily cut open to remove
the pin.
o
6. Avoid placing tags on
waistbands, cuffs, hems or
perimeters. They can be easily
cut off.
7. Insert pins through the
garment then gently push into
the tag.

REMOVING HARD TAG
It is possible for the locking mechanism to become jammed when the pin is pulled
extremely hard. It is possible to un-jam the pin so that you will be able to remove it
when needed.
The first step is to place the hard tag into the detacher then press on the head of the
pin. This should release the pressure on the locks allowing you to remove the pin.
If you are still unable to release the pin you can tap the locking mechanism (raised
area) on the corner of the sales counter, then put the hard tag back into the
detacher. The pin should now release.

DETECTION AREA
The Vector system will detect hard tags within 4 feet to each side and 3 feet in front
of and back of the antenna. We recommend that you keep all merchandise with
hard tags a minimum of 4-1/2 feet from the sides of the system and 3 feet from the
front of and back of the system. This will reduce the possibility of the system being
alarmed by the displayed merchandise.

occurrences. The following is a basic troubleshooting guide to be used prior to
