Press the Read button to start a new scanning session.
Enable custom field if you want to enter data about an animal during a session, such as a
condition score. The custom field label and options can be configured in EziLink then exported to
the stick reader (see the
Enable alerts if you want to be warned when a particular animal's tag has been scanned. For
example, you may want to set an alert in order to remind you than an animal is in a withholding

Bluetooth
another device such as a Bluetooth XR3000 or a Bluetooth computer.
Auto - When Bluetooth is set to Auto, the stick reader will automatically connect to the
Bluetooth device most recently used. If it can't find this device, it will attempt to connect to
another Bluetooth device from its list of previously paired devices. If a previously paired device
can't be found, the stick reader will search for an XR3000 indicator, then connect with it and add
it to its list of paired devices. If this is not successful, the stick reader will then allow an incoming
connection from a Bluetooth device. At any time, you may override the Auto settings and
manually search for a device (see FIND BT DEVICES below) or select a device from the list of
previously paired devices (see PAIRED DEVICES below). The Auto setting is ideal if you typically
use the same Bluetooth device with the stick reader.
Off - You may want to disable Bluetooth if you don't want the stick reader to automatically
connect to or search for a Bluetooth device. Disabling Bluetooth conserves the stick reader's
battery.
Manual - When Bluetooth is set to Manual, the stick reader will allow an incoming connection
from a Bluetooth device. Also, you can manually search for a Bluetooth device (see FIND BT
DEVICES below) or select a device from the list of previously paired devices (see PAIRED DEVICES
below).
When Bluetooth is in either Auto or Manual mode, you can manually search for and connect to a
particular device or break an existing connection and force it to a different device.
Press the Read button to search for Bluetooth devices within range.
After a few moments, the stick reader populates the screen with Bluetooth devices within range.
To connect to a Bluetooth device:
Select the required Bluetooth device from the list and press the Read button.
The device is added to the list of paired devices (see PAIRED DEVICES below).
When Bluetooth is in either Auto or Manual mode, you can manually connect to a previously
paired device or break an existing connection and force it to a different device.
Connecting to a previously paired device is faster than using the 'FIND BT DEVICES' option.
Press the Read button to display previously connected (paired) Bluetooth devices. Select a device
and press the Read button.
The stick reader attempts to connect to the previously paired device.
When Duplicates is enabled, the stick reader will not record the same EID twice in the same
session. The stick reader remembers the previous 500 tags.
Enable flip screen to rotate the LCD for a left-handed user. The LCD screen will then be displayed
upside-down for a right-handed user.
Adjust the contrast to suit the light conditions.
Press the Read button repeatedly to adjust the contrast on the LCD.
The stick reader software version is displayed.
The language displayed on the stick reader LCD can be modified.
Press the Read button repeatedly.
When the stick reader is connected to an XR3000 indicator via Bluetooth, it will automatically
display the same language as the indicator.
