For Your Safety
February 2006 Revision 1.0 9/42
1 For Your Safety
1.1 General Use
The Medio P101-WIFI is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service.
Please observe the following general tips:
Take care not to scratch the device. Keep the device clean. When working with the device,
use only TAGSYS-approved accessories.
This device is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme
conditions, water may enter the circuitry.
Protect the device from extreme temperatures. For example, do not place the device in a
windowed area where the sun may cause extreme temperatures, and keep it away from
heaters and other heat sources.
Do not store or use the device in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. If the surface of the device becomes soiled,
clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
1.2 Care and Maintenance
This device is a product of superior design and should be handled with care. The suggestions
below will further increase the lifetime of this device.
•Keep the device and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.
•Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store in cold areas. When the device warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture
can form inside the device, which may damage electronic circuit boards.
•Do not attempt to open the device. Non-professional handling of the device may damage it.
•Handle the device with care. Shocks may break internal circuit boards.
•Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.
Gently wipe the device with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
•Do not paint the device. Paint may clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper
operation. Paint with metallic contents may limit device performances.
•If the device or any accessory are not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified
TAGSYS representative.

safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with all RF equipment, users are advised that the equipment should only be used in its normal
operating position.

Certification
February 2006 Revision 1.0 11/42
2 Certification
2.1 Occupational Health
TAGSYS Medio P101-WIFI reader has been designed and tested to be in conformity with the
European Standard EN 50364 “Limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from
devices used in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and
similar applications” in conjunction with the European Standard EN 50357 describing how to
evaluate the exposure level.
2.2 Regulatory Notices
An RFID system typically composed of an RF emission device such as the Medio P101-WIFI
connected to an antenna is subject to national regulations that may differ by country.
One important item to consider is the maximum permissible magnetic field intensity at a distance of
10 meters from the antenna that must not exceed 42 dBµA/m in Europe and 38 dBµA/m in US.
The Medio P101-WIFI meets these limits.
2.2.1 In Europe (CE and RTTE Directives)
The Medio P101-WIFI (connected to L-W1 or TR-HA1or LSA3 or Aero LI antenna) complies with
the European EMC directive. (CE Declaration of Conformity granted)
The Medio P101-WIFI (connected to L-W1 or TR-HA1or LSA3 or Aero LI antenna) complies with
the requirements of the Telecommunication Terminal Equipment Act (FTEG) and the RTTE
Directive 1995/5/CE.
It is the responsibility of the TAGSYS Reseller to install the Medio P101-WIFI as described in this
User’s Guide or TAGSYS Documentation.
Any modification of the Medio P101-WIFI is prohibited without the written consent of TAGSYS.
Unauthorized modification may void the conformity of the equipment to CE and RTTE Directives
and will void the TAGSYS warranty.
It is the responsibility of the CIT (Certified Integrators by TAGSYS) to install the Medio P101-
WIFI as described in this User’s Guide or in TAGSYS Documentation.
If the Medio P101-WIFI is further integrated in a different product, it is the responsibility of
the manufacturer of this complementary product to obtain the required approvals for this
product.
