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
p
ower connection
s
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.

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

CAUTION: You MUST connect both antennas BEFORE completin
g
the power connections to the reader.
5. Connect the power supply to the reader.
6. Plug power cord into power supply.
7. Plug the power supply cable into the wall outlet and verify power.
The green LED will be illuminated when power is on.
NOTE: When you are not actively using the reader, we recommend
you pull the power connector out of the reader to prevent
unnecessary transmission of RF energy.
8. Plug in the PC (if necessary) and turn it on.
