Charging the Battery
OMNI MAX can be charged in two ways. You can connect the USB cable to the wall-mounted adapter or you can
connect the USB cable to a USB port on your PC.
Hold the scanner close to, or touching the animal
Scan slowly and repeatedly over the entire body to check whether or not a microchip
is present
Wave the scanner back and forth lightly while scanning, because microchips can be
in various orientations within the animal
Scan first in a horizontal, then a vertical "S" pattern down the animal's body, as shown
in the diagram beside
Consider scanning each animal more than once to ensure any present microchip can
be localized by the scanner
located on the Home menu to access the Main menu
