Tags selection and placement proper tag selection is crucial for its successful scanning later. To sustain optimal communication between a tag and the GearEye scanner, take into account the physical space available for tag placement, surface material to which they are attached, and the contents of a tagged container. Along with regular tags of different sizes for non-metal items such as glass, plastic, or wood, GearEye also provides on-metal tags to avoid RF interference with metal or liquid containers. Before actually sticking a tag to an object, make a simple test and check that after just placing the tag on the item’s surface, the tag’s scanning range is sufficient for you. The tags are hard to peel off after adhering. 

LED indication and troubleshooting A visual LED indication appears in different colors, either steady or blinking, on the upper part of the GearEye device in the following conditions:

• Green - Charging, disconnected from the app
• Red Blinking - Scanning is active
• Red Steady - Initialization error => Reset the device
• Blue - Connected, not charging  
• Violet Blinking - Low battery => recharge the device
• Turquoise - Charging & Connected to the app  
• Orange Blinking - Malfunctioning or overheating => stop charging, sleep
• Yellow - Transition to OFF or Reset 
• Pale - Normal battery level, not charging, not connected 

Proper use

• The phone needs to be close enough to the GearEye device to stay connected.
• The GearEye device works optimally in the free space. However, it can be placed on a non-metal surface, inside a bag, or held in hand, like in the picture on the right.
• Keep GearEye at a minimum of 20 cm distance from a body, head, or another person.  
• When GearEye is operating, do not hold the cord in hand.  
• Avoid covering the air slots on the LED light area at the top and around the USB slot 
• If GearEye cannot find a tag, try to change the device’s position and orientation, or gently wave it around.
• Please refrain from folding an antenna. The optimal mode for scanning RFID tags is when the antenna is straight.
• GearEye works better if it is far from any metal object or surface.  
• There are certain environmental conditions in which the GearEye will not be able to scan items properly, especially when the items are near metal objects. Double-check your items to make sure they are around.
• Keep GearEye away from water or other liquid drops.  
• Do not fold or pull the cord to avoid mechanical damage. Avoid shaking or dropping the device.
