USER MANUAL
Introduction
Congratulations, you are now the
owner of a Global-Scan™. This
reader can read all microchip
implants of the type FDX-B, HDX
and FDX-A widely used intended to
pet’s identification.
As you can see the product is easy
to use.
Language choice
Hold the Global-Scan™ and press
(more than 5 seconds) the scanning
button, located on the left side of the
reader. The reader will display
successively different languages,
English, Français, Español, Italiano,
Portugues, Deutsch, Polski. For
additional information, refer to the
paragraph “Setting the scanner
configuration for the first time”.
Reading a transponder
Switch on the reader by pressing the
scanning button (about 1 second).
After shortly displaying the language
chosen by the user, the following
message will be displayed on the
LCD screen:
By pressing the scanning button
another time the reader will start
searching for a microchip. The
following message will be
displayed on the LCD screen:
Keep the reader in your hand and
bring the reader's antenna near the
animal's body. Scan slowly the
area where a microchip is
expected to be found while
keeping the reader for a few
centimetres distance from the
animal's skin. The reader will be
scanning for about 20 seconds.
Once the reader has finished
searching, two situations can arise:
•
First case:
If a microchip has been found then
the reader will « beep » and the
unique identification number will be
displayed:
In the above example, the reader
indicates that the found chip is
ofFDX-B type.
The identification number will remain
displayed on the LCD screen for
about 2 minutes before the reader
switches off automatically. While
displaying, a new press on the
scanning button re-activates
reading.
Warning: once the reader is switch
off, it will not be possible to display
the last identification number read
again.
•
Second case:
If no microchip has been found after
20 seconds, the reader will beep
three times and the following
message will be displayed on the
screen:
If this situation arises, try finding the
microchip again. To do so you must
re-activate the reader by pressing
the button. Scan the possible
microchip implantation area with as
a large sweeping movement as
possible. If necessary, repeat the
operation after having re-activated
the reader again.
Replacing the battery
Only use 9V alkaline batteries or
rechargeable batteries of PP3
type.
If the battery is running low the
reader will beep twice and will
display regularly the following
message
:
When the battery is too low the
reader displays this message and
switches off immediately. To replace
the battery, open the battery
compartment located under the
reader and replace the old battery
with a new one. Close the battery
compartment and check that the
locking mechanism is in place.
Bluetooth (optional)
Bluetooth feature allows wireless
communication with a host
peripheral (PC, PDA…).

de-activated by pushing up the
Bluetooth On/Off button. This
position is recommended to save
battery life.

When language and operating mode chosen are displayed, release the scanning button.
Global-Scan™
will “beep” indicating that it is

2. Be careful when switching on not to press for more than 2 seconds on the scanning button. This risks entering the configuration menu.
Changing the configuration
To change the configuration, switch off the scanner if necessary and switch on by keeping the scanning button pressed down until the desired
configuration is displayed.

The
Global-Scan™
is programmed to automatically switch off after 2 minutes if the scanning button has not been pressed. It is possible to
switch off the reader by pressing continuously the scanning button when an identification number or “no tag found” is displayed.
Using the “memory” function
A scanner configured beforehand in operating mode “+ memory” will record the scanned transponder numbers (800 identification numbers
maximum)
To transmit the contents of its memory:
- If the scanner is off: switched on the reader; the display will successively show the menu below
- If the scanner is already on: press shortly the scanning button and, during the transponder-reading phase, press continuously on the
scanning button during 2 seconds. The following menu will be displayed:
