authentication.

AirID is powered by a rechargeable Li-Po battery. The battery is charged by plugging the AirID
into either a computer or external USB wall adapter using the USB cable provided. The LCD
display shows all setting information and status of the reader. The user-friendly jog-dial control
element helps you to navigate through the settings of the device.
