- Wait for automatic detection.
- Open a text editor, Excel, or your management software.
- Place the cursor in the field where the identifier should appear.
- Present a compatible 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz badge.
- The reader detects the badge and types its identifier automatically.
- Repeat to register other badges.
Tip: In Excel, set the cell format to Text before scanning badges to preserve leading zeros.
Compatibility and limitations
- The reader may not indicate the frequency in its output; it mainly sends the identifier.
- Not all 13.56 MHz cards are compatible because multiple protocols use this frequency.
- Not all 125 kHz badges use the EM4100/TK4100 protocol.
- This product is for reading, not writing or copying.
- A detected card is not necessarily compatible with your access-control system.
- Use only badges you own or are authorized to use.
