UIC802 Card Reading Operation

The UIC802 is designed specifically for data collect ion purpose. The LCD display prom pt and
setup screens that make the UIC802 very easy to use. Here are some simple steps to operate
the UIC802. They involve the reading of two types of cards:

(I) Magnetic Card Only – when RFID is disabled
(II) Magnetic Card and RFID Card – When RFID is enabled

To learn how to turn on the RFID operation, please refer to the section of ‘RFID Enable’ in the
System Command Menu section.

(I) Magnetic Card Only Operation:

1. Press the POWER key to wa ke up the U IC802. The UIC802 w ill be ep and di splays the
idle prompt:

2. Insert the magnetic card all the way into the UIC802. It is very important not to

remove the card until “Pull Crd to Read”

3. Remove magnetic card swiftly. The UIC802 display the first 32 bytes of the card data
and the message “Saving Dat a Now Be Patient ” briefly. At this point, the card data
has been stored in the internal Flash memory. The display goes back to the idle
prompt.

4. If the UIC802 is unable to read the magnetic card due to bad card or improper swipe
speed. Two possible scenarios may occur.

a. The UIC802 is unable to detect any card data (for example, magnetic stripe is

reversed). The reader will beep 3 times to remind the user about this.

the idle prompt:

2. Read the RFID card by taping it against the upper left corner of the reader, where the
RFID antenna locates. The UIC802 will beep once, display the first 32 bytes of the
card data and the message “Saving Data Now Be Patient” briefly. At this point, the
card data has been stored in the internal Flash memory. The display will go back to
the idle prompt.

3. If the card is brought to a distance too far from the antenna and not detected by it, it
will have no response at all. The user has to bring it closer. If it is close enough, the
reader will read the card. However, if the card is bad or reading unsuccessful, it will
beep twice and show the following messages:

RFID

Bad Readin

4. For this mode of dual card types operation, the user can always read the magnetic card
by inserting it into the slot. The responses will be the same as in the magnetic card only
case, except that the prompts messages are slightly different, to reflect either type of
card reading:

The “Pls Insert Card” will become “Please Read Card”. The “Pls ReInsert
