FCC Regulations:
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.
This device 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 radiated 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.
FCC Note:
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United
States.
During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest certified power level and
placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the separation of 5
mm.
The exposure standard for wireless employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: UB4CS508.
Carry this device, at least 5 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant
or lower to the reported level.

Introduction
CS508 is a RTLS USB dongle to be used in a RTLS system. It can be used with
other RTLS tag together for tag finding and range measurement.
1 Installation
1.1 Power up :
- CS508 takes power from the USB interface of an Andriod tablet as in
the picture below. When CS508 is inserted into the tablet, the orange
system LED will be light up.
1.2 Operation :
- Start the application program in Android tablet. CS508 will be
automatically detected.
6
1.3 CS508 operation modes
- CS508 can be worked either as an Anchor or as a tag.
1.3.1 Tag Mode
In tag mode, CS508 acts as a tag and can do normal RTLS ranging by putting it
into a RTLS anchor installed environment.
1.3.2 Anchor Mode
In anchor mode, CS508 acts as an anchor. This can be done by running the
application program in anchor mode and run tag search as below.
