A
standard hypodermic needle is used to insert the capsule
into the subcutaneous layer or intra muscular site,
usually at the back of the neck of domestic cats and
dogs. Other locations may also be used.
The identity tag reader, or "scanner,"
generates a low energy signal
as it is passed over the animal. This signal
activates the chip causing it to transmit its identification
number.
Once received, the number is then
displayed on the scanner's
LCD screen. Reading time is less
than 40 milliseconds (.04seconds).
