municates with the Reader via the IrDA. Therefore, the IrDA
signal passing from the Portable Reader must have a good
IrDA acceptance on the side of the Mobile Computer. You
will hear a click when you have the Mobile Computer com-
pletely inserted into the Portable Reader.

Performance Specifications
You can expect to read at least six tags per second up to three
feet. Attempting to read tags beyond these specifications
produces poor results.
Sometimes using the Reader continuously reading tags may
result in the unit overheating. This causes the Reader to stop
reading tags. Allow the Reader to cool and get back within
temperature range then the Reader will return to good tag reads.
