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. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 2. 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: - Reorient 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 IC STATEMENT IC Notice to Canadian Users Copyright © Convergence Systems Limited, All Rights Reserved CSL CS101-2 EPC CLASS 1 GEN 2 RFID HANDHELD READER USER'S MANUAL, VERSION 5.0 This device complies with industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This device complies with RSS-247 of industry Canada. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003(Cet appareil numérique de classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada). This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 5mm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 4.0W/kg averaged over ten gram of tissue. Device types CS108 Sled Handheld for RFID/2D Barcode (FCC ID:UB4CS108C1GEN2 ) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the hand and is 0.707W/kg . This device was tested for typical handheld operations kept 0mm from the hand.
