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.

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. To maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 0mm separation distance between the user's
hand. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided.

CS108-2 RFID Sled Handheld RFID Reader
The CS108-2 Sled handheld RFID reader is a reader designed to work with an off-the-shelf
smart phone (such as iPhone or Android phone) via Bluetooth connection, where the
application on the smart phone would control the CS108-2 reader to perform RFID tag reading
or barcode reading.
CS108-2 is a handle product. It is NOT a body worn product. User holds it using the
handle as shown in below photo. Holding it by the handle is the only way of usage.
Below photo shows the smart phone separately handled by the user during operation:
Note: Smart phone and CS108 can only be paired via the App provided. They DO NOT pair
via the normal Bluetooth Device connection page of the OS. Therefore, install the App first
and pair the CS108 from inside the App.

Charging the CS108
The CS108 can be charged by inserting a USB cable with the following plugs:
1) USB Type C plug on one side
2) USB Type A plug on the other side
3) The above Type A plug connecting to a USB charger with the traditional Type A socket
2 LEDs will light up:
1) “Ext. Power” LED: Blue LED. Whenever the USB is connected with power supply, this
blue LED will light up.
2) “Charging” LED: Red LED. When battery is heavily drained, this red LED will be bright.
When battery is completely recharged, this red LED will be very dim. So if you connect
the USB cable and this LED is very dim, do not be alarmed. It just means the battery is
pretty full already.
