Managing Settings
The 3M Rapid Detection Reader can be operated immediately after set-up using the pre-
programmed default settings. Each Reader also has customizable features which can be
configured to enhance its functionality and data management capability. Customizable features
include LQC timer, Operator ID and password, and data transfer options (USB, print, network).
Some of these features can be configured in the CM Settings menu. In the default configuration,
these settings can only be viewed or changed by an operator with Supervisor access. Most
feature configurations are set using the Reader Configuration Utility (RCU) by a Full Access User.
For instruction on configuring settings on the CM, refer to Edit Settings and Edit Operators. For
instructions on configuring settings using the RCU, refer to Editing Settings Using the Reader
Configuration Utility (RCU).

Accessing the Settings Menus
From the Main Menu (Figure 4), touch Settings. Access to the
Settings menu is Operator ID and Password protected. The default
login for access to the Settings menus is:
Operator ID: SUPERVISOR
PASSWORD: PASSWORD
Both entries are case-sensitive. To provide additional security, it is
highly recommended that this login be changed.
