How to check the battery level of the audio or BlueTooth version VP3300 reader?

Step-by-step guide:

There is a "read battery level command" you can issue to the reader to check the battery status.  

Please issue the get battery Level command F0-02 to get the status. If the data level >= 0xD2 indicates the Battery power full. if data level <= 0xC0 indicates Battery power is low.

1. Connect the audio or BT VP3300 to a USB Port on the PC right before you start this process (otherwise the battery is charged up via the USB port of the PC)
