Readings are difficult to interpret.
Resolution of system allows discrimination of two ends of Tag. Reposition
the LOCalizer Loop or Surgical Probe and look for readings from both ends
of Tag to determine Tag location.
The LOCalizer Reader has a critically low battery.
Replace batteries.
If new batteries fail to work, the LOCalizer Reader may have suffered a
fatal error. Contact your supplier for replacement of the unit.
The Tag ID is displayed only when the Loop probe is within 40mm of the
Tag and the Surgical Probe is within 20mm. If within these limits, there may
be an interfering signal from another RFID reader, tag or wireless charger.
Check for and remove other RFID readers, tags, wireless chargers or other
nearby equipment that may be transmitting in the region of 134 kHz.
This condition may occur if multiple Tags were placed in the same
operative breast and the LOCalizer Reader can't discern one Tag signal
from the other. Re-position the Reader in multiple locations to identify
more than one Identification number. Use the identification numbers to
determine each Tag's placement.
The Selected Probe has low signal strength. System may continue to
function, the range accuracy for tag reading may be impacted. Check
environment for possible sources of interference and remove. This may
occur when Probe or Reader is placed on a metal surface; moving the
Probe or Reader away clears the "?". Check the active probe icon to
ensure the correct probe is selected.
The Selected Probe does not pass self-test.
For the Surgical probe, replace the Probe.
For the Loop probe, replace the LOCalizer Reader.
Low battery.
The maximum audio volume is automatically reduced to extend remaining
operational time.
Replace Batteries.
An Internal error has occurred.
This is generally a permanent fatal error, and the LOCalizer Reader must be
replaced. Before returning the LOCalizer Reader for service, try removing
and replacing the battery. This may clear an error.
