HDX and FDX‐ Electronic ID tags operate differently and therefore have different applications.
For optimal battery life, Gallagher recommends that you store the SmartReader in a cool, dry area (15 to 25 ° C) out of direct sunlight.
Charge the battery completely before storage, as the battery may lose capacity if left empty for a period of time.
