PROGuard: how do I edit the description of an iButton or RFTag

You can change the description of any iButton or RFTag used in checkpoints or master/patrol officer/employee identification.

IMPORTANT: do not mix up iButtons or RFTags when editing, doing so may incorrectly identify checkpoints or staff in reports.

IMPORTANT>You should have the wands with you before starting the reprogramming steps.

To change the identifier you need to enter the Programming screen of PROGuard, the easiest way to do this is from the PROGuard home screen click on "Last Downloads", select the Guardus device and click on the "View" button.

Now at the top you will see a series of tabs, the far right tab will say "Programming", click on this tab and then the "Reprogram" button. If an alert window opens click on "Yes".

Click on the tab for the iButton/RFTag you wish to edit.

Click on the iButton/RFTag that you wish to edit and then click on the "Edit" button.

Edit the "Description" field and then click the "OK" button.

Repeat the editing steps until all iButton/RFTag descriptions you wish to change are changed.

When finished click on the programming screens OK button, if you get an alert window click "Yes", you will now be prompted to connect your Guardus device to transfer the new programming.

Your Guardus programming should now be updated.
