radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communication. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not
emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable
from Health Canada.

Overview
This guide explains how to install and operate the i-CARD CF when using a laptop or desktop computer.
1.1 Functionality
The i-CARD CF is IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ Intelligent Long Range (ILR®) radio frequency mobile interrogator in a
type II CF Card format. The i-CARD CF is easily integrated into portable or laptop computers and is used in
conjunction with i-LINKS (or other ILR® software) to read and write data to tags. The flexibility of an
interrogator on a CF Card allows for easy integration of ILR® into enterprise systems and permits combination
with other technologies such as bar code and wireless LAN.
The i-CARD CF is available in a FCC compliant version (i-CARD CF/NA) and an European versions (i-CARD CF /
EU) to communicate in a global market. The signal propagation characteristics of the UHF radio band used by
ILR® technology provide long-range communication and high-speed transmission rates for reliable data
exchange.
Computers with an i-CARD CF can communicate to tags at a distance of up to 10 meters (33 feet). The i-CARD
CF communicates with the entire i-Q active tag product line including i-Q8, i-Q8T, i-Q32, and i-Q32T tags and in
a second version with the i-B tag family.
The installation and usage instructions for the i-CARD CF are identical for all versions.
1.2 Components
The i-CARD CF resembles a standard CF card with one addition: an external antenna. On the exposed end of
the i-CARD CF, there are an MMCX antenna connector and a bi-color status LED indicating Transmit, Receive
and Host Communication. The exact meaning of the color depends on the firmware version installed on the
card.
Note: The current version only supports a quarter wavelength antenna available under P/N
887124 from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS and equivalent internal antennas for hand helds.

Installation
The i-CARD CF is easy to install—simply attach the antenna, insert the i-CARD CF into the desired computer (if
necessary use a standard PCMCIA – CF adapter) and install the necessary hardware driver for the specific
operating system. The following sections describe each of these steps in detail.
Note: The hardware driver only needs to be installed the first time an i-CARD CF is inserted into
a computer or when performing an upgrade to the driver.
2.1 Hardware
To install the external antenna, grasp its base and insert it into the antenna connector until it locks into place.
Figure 2: Antenna Installation
To remove the antenna, grasp the base firmly and remove carefully to avoid damage.
2.2 Software
The computer being used for i-CARD CF operations must be running one of the following operating systems:
Windows 2000/XP.
To install the i-CARD CF, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the ILR® Installation Disk (either floppy disk or CD) into the computer that will operate the
i-CARD CF.
2. Insert the i-CARD CF into the CF card slot of the desktop or laptop computer.
An installation wizard will start immediately after the i-CARD CF is inserted.
3. Complete the wizard instructions
Note: A readme.txt file is available for each operating system on the ILR® Installation Disk and
contains the same instructions that are described in the following sections.

i-CARD CF – User’s Guide
2.2.1 Windows 98/2000/Windows XP
The following section describes how to install the device driver on Windows 98, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. When the i-CARD CF is inserted into the CF slot, an installation wizard begins automatically.
Select the Search for a suitable driver for my device option and click Next.
Selecting a search location depends on the type of ILR® Technical CD you received.
For a search location, select the Floppy Disk Drives option, and click Next. Click the Browse button to copy
drivers from your ILR® Technical CD:
Using the Browse dialog box, select the
\ILR_Support_Kit\iCARD CF\Drivers\Win98_2000_XP folder. Select the
iCARD-CF.inf file, then click OK.
The hardware driver is loaded and a confirmation screen appears. This screen verifies that the installation
has completed successfully. Click Next to complete the installation.
The hardware driver installation is now complete.
Note: There is no special driver on the CD. Supplied .inf file instructs Windows to use the standard
serial driver contained in the system.
Note: If you have problems installing the driver under Windows 2000 please make sure you have
the latest Service Pack installed. Please refer to Article 281505 in Microsoft Knowledge Base.
3.0
Usage
After completing the i-CARD CF installation, please refer to the user’s guide of the applicable software to
continue with the system implementation.
The i-CARD CF can be used in conjunction with a variety of software applications, such as i-DEMO,
TempDemo and other ILR® custom applications.
4.0
Application program rules
Due to national restrictions not all parameter values are valid in each version of the i-CARD CF.
Programmers of application software are strongly recommended to read the documentation which comes
with the development package.
Note: When trying to set an operation mode or output power which is not allowed in the
national version the i-CARD CF returns with an error code. Please refer to the library manual.
Version 1.2
26.07.2006
Page 8/10
i-CARD CF – User’s Guide
According to ERC/REC70-03 a maximum duty cycle of 1% (i-Q- tags) is allowed in Europe. Due to the
protocol used on the RF link this means no restrictions for interactive operation. However in continuously
running applications the application programmer must ensure observance of these rules. For details please
see the documentation which comes with the development package.
To minimize spurious radiation consecutive scans must be separated by pauses with a length of at least
0.2 seconds. Again this is no restriction for interactive application as a scan is typically followed by manual
selection of a tag in a list which normally lasts longer than this required time.
