USING THE 1166 UHF READER
BUTTON OPERATION
The 1166 UHF Reader has a Primary button action and a Secondary button action which can be initiated by
different button clicks: By default, the Primary action scans for UHF transponders, whilst the Secondary action
initiates the laser barcode scanner (Barcode scanning is only available with the 2D Imager Antenna variant). Which
operation is performed depends on the way in which the button is pressed. The Single and Double press button
options are also programmable.

UHF Reader will continue to scan for UHF transponders while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning once the
