Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
The LineaTab, incorporating the iPad, has been tested and meets applicable
limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to
the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. The SAR limit is 1.6 watts per
kilogram averaged over 1 gram of tissue.
During testing, the iPad devices, incorporated within the LineaTab, are set to
their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use near
the body.
Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including
its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been
tested or certified.
The LineaTab complies with the FCC safety requirements for RF exposure in
accordance with FCC rule part §2.1093 and KDB447498 D01 for portable use
conditions.
The LineaTab, incorporating the iPad, must not be co-located or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

InfineaTAB4 can be charged from USB port or Datecs power
station. When the InfineaTAB4 is charging, green led is blinking (LED2).
When the device is fully charged, greed led is continuously light (stop
blinking).
Charging via USB cable
(type A to mini USB), connected
to PC 5V/260mA
Attaching Device
When using the Linea Tab4, care must be taken to ensure the
Linea Tab4 9-pin connector and the iPad4 connector are not
accidentally damaged. The figures below show how to attach your
device to the Linea Tab.
Blue led will blink fast, when the iPad4 is connected to Linea
TAB4. (Or press scan buttons for start device)

Slide the device as shown on the figure above.
1D Barcode Scanning
Using the 1D barcode scanner:
The Linea Tab4 1D uses a scan engine that supports one-
dimensional (1D) barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the
barcode reader varies depending on the barcode size.
Scanning 1D Barcodes:
To scan a 1D barcode fist activate the scanner. Then position
the scan head as close to the barcode label as possible so that the scan
line crosses both ends of the barcode as shown in the figure below.
Slowly pull back the unit increasing the distance between the
barcode and scan head until the barcode has been read by the scanner.

Scan button
~ 15-20 cm
2D Barcode Scanning
Using the 2D barcode scanner:
The Linea Tab4 2D uses a scan engine that supports one-dimensional
(1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbols. The effective reading
distance of the barcode reader varies depending on the barcode size.
Scanning 2D Barcodes:
To scan a 2D barcode fist activate the scanner. Then position
the scan head to center the red aiming laser near the center of the
barcode and the illumination box is over the outer edges of the barcode
as shown in the figure below.
Slowly pull back the unit increasing the distance between the barcode
and scan head until the barcode has been read by the scanner.

Card Reading
Reading Magnetic Strips:
The Linea Tab4 has a built-in magnetic card reader. The card
reader incorporates a (3) track magnetic read head requiring a single
swipe to read field data from all three tracks.
The magnetic read head faces up towards the top of the cradle.
When placing the card into the reader, the magnetic strip must be facing
up as shown in the figure below. Keep the edge of the card flat on the
inner base of the reader to ensure that the magnetic strip passes over
the read head evenly.
Fig. 7
User Notes:
To use the magnetic card reader feature, special software must
be used to read and process the card information.
Swipe direction
RFID card Reading
In order to use the RFID card reading function, special software
must be used. Please contact your distributor in order to get the latest
demo application and SDK.
Place the card on the show spot and press the read RFID
card button on the application. The data will be send from the
Linea Tab4 RFID reader to the iPad.
