Was My Scanner Purchased from VAS?
Check the back of your scanner to confirm if it was purchased from VAS. All scanners purchased from VAS have VAS Scan the QR code stickers.
You can scan animals with the mobile app after you pair and connect your RFID scanners to your device. The mobile app supports Bluetooth connections with RFID wands and scanners. However, the iOS and Android versions of the mobile app each work a bit differently with Bluetooth wands/scanners.
