What is there to consider?

• If the RFID scanner does not connect the first time. Turn Bluetooth off and on once and try again.
• Make sure that your smartphone is not connected to any other devices via Bluetooth. If this is the case, disconnect the connection before you start pairing the RFID scanner.

Where and how should the labels be applied?

• The on furniture labels are suitable for furniture and non-metallic objects
• The on metal labels are suitable for metal objects
• Make sure that the surface is clean, dry and free of grease
• Adhesive recommendation:
  • Attach the labels best where you want to stick your labels later, for example:
  • For tables, the underside of the tabletop, left side, is suitable.
  • For laptops/monitors it is best to place the labels next to the serial number.
