Quick Installation Guide

ALIEN TECHNOLOGY (2450MHz Battery System) QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE Reader antennas should be positioned so that personnel in the area for prolonged periods may safely remain at least 23 cm (9 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.” You MUST connect both antennas BEFORE completing the power connections to the reader. To operate the Nanoscanner reader and the Alien RFID Gateway demo software you will need the following: • PC running Windows® 98 or higher, with minimum 200 MHz speed, 127 MB RAM. • Minimum of 45 MB of available disk space. • One available serial port. • CD-ROM drive. • Display/monitor set to at least 256 colors. • 120 VAC standard power outlet (2).

NNaannoossccaannnneerr RReeaaddeerr HHaarrddwwaarree CAUTION: Set up the reader antennas so they are at least 9 inches away from the nearest person who will be in range of the RF signal for prolonged periods. (See full FCC caution on back page.) NOTE: When you are not actively using the reader for demonstration or programming purposes, we recommend you pull the power connector out of the reader to prevent unnecessary transmission of RF energy. 2. Connect the RS-232 cable to the reader. 3. Connect the RS-232 cable to the serial port on the PC. 4. Connect both antennas to the antenna ports on the nanoscanner. Screw the fitting from the cable end onto the reader connector until finger tight to secure the cable to the reader. CAUTION: You MUST connect both antennas BEFORE completing the power connections to the reader. 5. Connect the power supply to the reader. 6. Plug power cord into power supply. 7.
