FCC Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
con-nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution
Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Compliance Information : This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation

9. Uses Guide
Basic data sent by using the FZ210BS is serial (USB) data.
Since the FZ210BS is exclusively used for serial data transmission or reception, smooth transmission
or reception of KEY/ADC/GPIO data may not be achieved, but input or output of KEY/ADC/GPIO data
can be done by using the socket inside the rubber cover at the back side of the FZ210BS.
Since the FZ210BS is exclusively used for serial data transmission or reception, it may not perform
smooth operation as Low Power devices, but it can be also used as an Low Power device by using the
AT Command.
To input key data as a mean of Wake Up, please use the socket inside the rubber cover on the back of
the FZ210BS.
9-1. Serial Data Transmission/receipt
Note : As the FZ210BS uses a virtual COM Port, the virtual COM Port should be operating normally to
be used in the HOST (PC).
The following is a procedure for FZ210BS Set-up using Serial communication (HyperTerminal) Program.
The signal speed of FZ210BS is basically 38400bps.
9-1-1. Serial data transmission (USB)
(1) Connect FZ210BS (Device 1) to PC, and turn the power of FZ210BS ON.
As the FZ210BS uses a virtual COM Port using an USB, the hyper terminal cannot be run when the
device is powered on in advance.
(2) Execute Hyper Terminal.
Select [Start][All Programs][Accessories][Communication][Hyper Terminal] in order, and then a
window for Connection Set-up comes up. Put a name in the name blank, and click the OK button.

FZ210BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
15
When a window for Connection target comes up, select COM ports connected to FZ210BS, and click the OK
button.
Select each blank as below “Bit/sec: 38400, data Bit: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None”,
and click the OK button. Hyper Terminal is executed.

FZ210BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
16
(3) Reset the FZ210BS.
When the FZ210BS operates normally, it outputs “FZx10 START
OK” message.
(4) Input “1234567890” into Hyper Terminal.
The “1234567890” entered by users is not seen on the hyper
terminal.
(5) FZ210BS transmits the serial data to its target device.
※Whenever serial data is entered, the FZ210BS sends out wireless data (after certain internal time
delay) and OK or ERROR LED shows its status.
9-2. Data receipt
9-2-1. Serial data receipt(USB)
Serial (USB) data received wirelessly is output to the USB port of the FZ210BS.
Serial (USB) data is output in the same data format as it was sent from the sending device.

(1) Connect FZ210BS(Device 2) to PC, and turn the power of FZ210BS ON.
(2) Execute Hyper Terminal.
Select [Start][All Programs][Accessories][Communication][Hyper Terminal] in order, and then a
window for Connection Set-up comes up. Put a name in the name blank, and click the OK button.
When a window for Connection target comes up, select COM ports connected to FZ210BS, and click the OK
button.

Select each blank as below “Bit/sec: 38400, data Bit: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None”,
and click the OK button. Hyper Terminal is executed.
(3) Reset the FZ210BS.
When the FZ210BS operates normally, it outputs “FZx10 START
OK” message.
(4) Received serial data by wireless is outputted via HyperTerminal.

10. FZ210BS Management TIP
Without additional setting, all FZ210BS around receives data if data is inputted after the power of
device is approved.
A lot of traffic in network can cause trouble with data transmission/receipt.
If big size of data is transmitted successively or in short time, traffic increase.
Extensive care is required of the size of data and time space for transmission.
10-1. Operation of serial data transmission/receipt
< Figure 10-1 serial data transmission/receipt >
(1) Turn the power of FZ210BS on.
(2) Input serial data into FZ210BS.
(3) All FZ210BS around output received serial data by wireless.
