Checking Tag Reader

In order to test the tag reader you will need a NLIS tag. 

1. You must connect the unit to the Optiweigh app to be able to test the tag reader.

2. Once you have correctly connected to the app. Walk onto the platform of the Optiweigh unit and hold the NLIS tag near the tag reader panel.

3. You will be able to hear a beeping noise coming from the WIC, indicating it is working. Make sure to have the app open to be able to hear the beeping (if your mobile is on 'sleep mode' the beeping noise will not work). 

4. The Tag ID will appear in the app.
