• How do I charge my Allflex stick reader?

  Use the provided Magnetic-USB power cable. Allow the magnetic connectors to align automatically without forcing them. Charging is complete when the battery bars stop flashing.

• What does the blue LED indicate on the Allflex reader?

  A solid or flashing blue LED typically indicates the Bluetooth connection status, even when the main display is switched off.

• Where can I download the Allflex Connect app?

  The Allflex Connect app is available for download on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

• How do I set the reader to continuous read mode?

  By default, readers are in 'Single Read' mode. You can change this to 'Continuous Mode' for batch reading via the setup menu, or by long-pressing the Enter key if the 'Auto' setting is enabled.

• Who should I contact for tag application issues?

  If you experience issues with tag retention or animal irritation, consult the user guide for proper application techniques or contact Allflex customer support. Consult a veterinarian if medical issues arise.
