1.2. Safety instructions
Please read the following instructions carefully to prevent injury, malfunction, fire, etc.
Warning
Do not attempt to disassemble, modify or repair the AsReader yourself, otherwise it may
cause malfunction, fire or electric shock. We will not be held responsible for any problems that
may occur with the AsReader, PC, smart devices, etc. due to modifications.
If you notice any abnormalities such as smoke, abnormal odor, or strange noise coming from
the AsReader during use, stop using it immediately. Continued use may cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not drop or throw the AsReader and subject it to strong impact. It may cause damage, fire,
electric shock, or malfunction. It may also cause injury. If the AsReader is damaged by
dropping and the inside of the AsReader is exposed, do not touch the exposed part with your
hands, because there is a risk of electric shock or injury on the damaged part.
Do not allow metal or other objects to come into contact with the terminals of each connector.
Doing so may cause a large current to flow, resulting in overheating, fire, or damage to the
device.
Do not get the AsReader wet with water. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock. If foreign
matter or water should get inside the AsReader, unplug the power cable immediately.
Do not use the AsReader with the power supply voltage other than the specified. Doing so
may result in damage to the equipment or an accidental fire.
When constructing a system that may affect human life, such as the management of
chemicals using the AsReader, please pay close attention to redundancy and safety design
so that even if the data is incorrect, there is no possibility of affecting human life.
The AsReader is an RFID reader that uses UHF radio waves with an output power of 200mW.
Therefore, depending on the application and location of use, it may affect medical equipment.
In order to minimize this effect, the following must be strictly observed during operation.
The AsReader operators should keep the AsReader no closer than 22cm from the site where
the implantable medical device will be installed.
The person wearing the implantable medical device should not come within 22cm of the
AsReader.
When taking the AsReader overseas, please consult with us in advance, as it is necessary to
comply with the laws and regulations of each country and region.
