6. Troubleshooting/ FAQs
6.1.
6.1.6.1.
6.1. Initial Setup/ Software
If the software fails to install as shown in Figure 29, repeat the installation process, first delete the
original installation, and then re-install using the same steps listed in section 2.1.
Figure 29
6.2.
6.2.6.2.
6.2. Tag reading
If reader is “Offline” and does not identify tags, make sure the state/status of the RFID ME
TM
HW
is “Online” reference Figure 9 which shows “Online” status).
In general, reading tags depends on a lot of different conditions, please verify that there are no
metal or liquid objects surrounding the RFID module and/or near the tags (such as a metal table,
or glass of water).
6.3.
6.3.6.3.
6.3. Tag modification
If tag status displays “ERROR”, make sure the tag and reader proximity is very close (basically
touching), and try again.

FCC statement in User’s Manual (for class B)
“Federal Communications Commission(FCC) Statement”
This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to
- 26 - Apr 26, 2011
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 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 Caution:
1. The 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.
2. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
3. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance
requirement of the end product which integrates this module.
20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the host this
module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
In the users manual of the end product, the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm
- 27 - Apr 26, 2011
separation with the antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed
that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. The end
user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than
8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required to be available in the users manual: This
device complies with Part 15 of 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.
Professional Use:
FCC NOTICE: To comply with FCC part 15 rules, the system must be professionally installed to ensure
compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the responsibility of the operator and professional installer to
ensure that only certified systems are deployed in the United States.
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID:
EHA-INRD01U”.
Industry Canada statement:
Industry Canada statement:Industry Canada statement:
Industry Canada statement:
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada 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.
Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada applicable aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit
pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris
un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance
requirements required with this module installed.
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes: (Pour
- 28 - Apr 26, 2011
utilisation de dispositif module)
1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée entre l'antenne et
les utilisateurs, et
2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou antenne,
Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires sur l'émetteur ne seront
pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours responsable des essais sur son produit final
pour toutes exigences de conformité supplémentaires requis pour ce module installé.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE:IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or
co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid
and the IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be
responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate
Canada authorization.
NOTE IMPORTANTE:
Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines configurations
d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre émetteur), l'autorisation du
Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut pas être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans
ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur)
et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte au Canada.
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains IC: 1223A-INRD01U”.
Le produit final doit êochtre êochtiquetêoch dans un endroit visible avec l'inscription suivante: "Contient des
IC: 1223A-INRD01U".
