FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply 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.
Any change or modification to this product voids the user’s authority to operate per FCC Part 15 Subpart A. Section15.21 regulations.
Industry Canada Compliance
This device complies with Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device. This device has been designed to operate with a variety of different gain (dBi). The reader
maximum output power is set by the gain of the antenna. Using an antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations
of Industry Canada. In addition, using the reader at a power exceeding the maximum output power for agiven antenna is also strictly
prohibited. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful
communication.
Conformité d'Industrie Canada
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes RSS exemptées de licence d'Industrie Canada. L'opération est soumise aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d'interférence et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les
interférences susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable de l'appareil. Cet appareil a été conçu pour fonctionner avec
une variété de gains différents (dBi). La puissance de sortie maximale du lecteur est définie par le gain de l'antenne. L'utilisation
d'une antenne ayant un gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par règlement d'Industrie Canada. En outre, l'utilisation du lecteur à
une puissance supérieure à la puissance de sortie maximale pour une antenne donnée est également strictement interdite.
L'impédance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms. Afin de réduire les interférences radio potentielles avec d'autres utilisateurs, le type
d'antenne et son gain devraient être choisis de manière à ce que la puissance éloignée isotropiquement (EIRP) équivalente soit
supérieure à celle requise pour une communication réussie.
Caution
Reader antennas should be positioned so that personnel in the area for prolonged periods may safely remain at least 31 cm (12.2
in) in an uncontrolled environment from the antenna’s surface. See FCC OET Bulletin 56 “Hazards of radio frequency and
electromagnetic fields” and Bulletin 65 “Human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.”
Vorsicht
Reader Antennen sollten so positioniert werden, dass das Personal im Bereich über einen längeren Zeitraum kann sicher bleiben
mindestens 31 cm (12.2 Zoll) entfernt von der Antenne Oberfläche, in einer unkontrollierten Umgebung. Siehe FCC OET Bulletin 56
"Gefahren der Radiofrequenz und elektromagnetische Felder" und Bulletin 65 "Human Exposition gegenüber hochfrequenten
elektromagnetischen Feldern."

Figure 5 Selecting the .cfg file for the update.
Select the .cfg file so that it appears in the File name box, then hit Open.
This will take you back to the window in the RFID Console, and you will see that the
location of the file has now populated the window.
Please select Update.
The system will check that you have selected the right .cfg file, and it will ask if you
wish to continue with the update. Select OK.
