3 Using OMNI MAX to Scan Microchips
Scanning a Microchip
■Once OMNI MAX is turned ON, hold it in close proximity to the animal, and then press the center of the scroll-wheel
■OMNI MAX will emit an audible “beep” when the scanner successfully detects a microchip
■To stop scanning if no microchip has been found, press the center of the scroll-wheel
Effective Scanning
■Hold the scanner close to, or touching 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 lightly 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
