3Introduction
The uRTime Nano is a handheld RFID reader made for trail and other outdoor races. It is the
perfect solution to scan runners at remote checkpoints, without electrical supply.
The touchscreen and intuitive software allow you to easily read and program RFID chips. Data is
saved on a micro SD card and can be directly sent to your computer or your website, using GPRS, XBEE
wireless communication, Wi-Fi or satellite transmission. Use the uRLive service receive data online.
This document presents the Nano, its different menus, the setup possibilities, the connectivity,
and the update procedure.

4Getting started
You will also find a quick start-up guide in these videos:
•English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Ih3g2kS24

4.1 Nano device
4.1.1 ON / OFF switch
Figure 1 : Side of the Nano
Use the power switch to start the Nano. The Nano vibrates, and the screen turns on.
Note: the Nano doesn’t start if there is no SD card in it.
4.1.2 Battery
Turn the Nano over and remove the cover to access to the battery. The battery lifetime is about
3 hours in normal use. To preserve the battery lifetime, please charge the battery only if it is completely
empty. The white strip helps you to remove the battery; don’t forget to place it under the new battery.
The polarity must be carefully respected to avoid irreversible damages.

4.1.3 Red button
Figure 3 : Red button used to control the RFID reader
The red button controls the RFID reader with four available modes:
•Scan until Time Out: when the user presses the button, the reader is enabled for a certain
time. After every read, the timer starts again. If no tag is read for about 10s, the reader is disabled.
This mode is recommended for most races.
•Hold and scan: the user must hold the button down to enable the reader. This mode is
optimized for test or office use.
•Press to enable / Press to disable: press the button to enable the reader and press it again to
disable it.
•Reader always on: the button is disabled. The reader is always on.
4.1.4 Screen
When turned on, the screen of the Nano displays some important information.
