ScanID Release 1.0 Page 3 of 21 2002-08-05 ID: ID020058 1 Introduction 1.1 System Description The ScanID hand held System is a high frequency identification system using the FM-transmission. The basic item is a transponder working as a forgery-proof electronic identity disc. The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-less transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data. The data received by the transponder reader were checked in the µ-controller and send to the display. The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms. As a sight-connection between transponder and reader is not absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-metallic material.
ScanID Release 1.0 Page 4 of 21 2002-08-05 ID: ID020058 2 Important Notes 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. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: 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 or more of the following measures: —Reorientate 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 connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

ScanID Release 1.0 Page 6 of 21 2002-08-05 ID: ID020058 3.1 Membrane Keyboard On/Off: This key switches on and off the reader. Push the key for more than 3 seconds to switch off. Read: The ‘Read’ button is used to start the reading of the RF-tag data. In case of an unsuccessful reading, the handheld tries to read the RF tag up to 5 times (default setting). In menu mode this key applies the entered code to enter the HERMOS menu. Select: Normally this key is used to rotate between the different views of the tag information. Also it selects the marked menu items in the menu mode. In triggered mode the select button establishes a channel to the base station to transmit the data. ESC: The ESC key steps out of the current menu up to the start screen. Shift up and down: These buttons are used to scroll in the different menus. Display: Graphic display with a resolution of 128x64 dots. The display can show 8 lines with 21 signs per line. The big font needs two lines per sign. The display memory can hold 32 lines with 21 signs which can be scrolled.

ScanID Release 1.0 Page 8 of 21 2002-08-05 ID: ID020058 3.3 Reading Ranges The reading range is only valid for the transponder types Read only, Read/Write and for the first page of the multipage transponder. If you want to read another page than page 1 of a multipage transponder, the transponder requires the page number. In this case the reading range can be reduced. Rod Antenna: 2,4 inch (Transponder parallel to antenna) Frame Antenna: 4 inch (Transponder parallel to axis of frame) 3.4 Charge Station The charge station charges automatically the li-ion accumulator. The charging time is about 4 hours, a message occurred on the display, when the device is charged. The supply voltage is 100-240V AC. The housing of this charge station is made of ABS or high-grade steel. The charge station can be mounted horizontal or vertical. 3.5 Licenses and Certificates / Declaration of Conformity • • FCC ID: N5GSID Compliance with: FCC Code of Federal Regulations, Part 15 Subpart C, Section §15.205 FCC Code of Federal Regulations, Part 15 Subpart C, Section §15.209

It can also be developed for special applications and it is possible to update the firmware. ! The red colored modes are not available for this type ! 4.1 Standard Software After switching on the ScanID the start page with the current software version is shown. Press the ‚Read’ button to start the reading process of the ScanID. Therefore a transponder should be in the reading range of the antenna. The default number of attempts to read a transponder is 5 times. Was the reading of the transponder data successfully, the data is shown on the display. Example:
