Doc #: PD001743A01 Rev. B.0 Symbol Solutions, Inc. Page 6 of 22 Symbol Confidential Restricted 2.0 Introduction This document is the user manual for the RA1202 Narrow Band Radio module. It describes its function and specifications as well as general architectural details. All references to Symbol in this document refer to Symbol Technologies Inc. 3.0 General Description RA1202 is a Narrow Band UHF radio module for data only (no audio) communications. The radio is primarily to be integrated into Symbol’s handheld XT15 and vehicle mount VH10 as well as other potential future undetermined hosts. There are 2 hardware variants of the radio module: 403-435 MHz and 435-470 MHz. The 2 hardware variants are configured during manufacturing into 12 radio types to meet different countries’ approved frequency band, channel spacing, power level, baud rate and sub-band restrictions. RA1202 supports the following Symbol’s modulations: 2 level 4800, 2 level 9600, 4 level 9600, 4 level 19200 baud FSK modulations at 12.5, 20, 25 KHz channel spacing with factory configured output power of either 1W (+30dBm) or 0.45W (+26.5dBm)(non-FCC). Communication between the radio and host is through a serial interface. Radio firmware resides on a microcontroller inside the radio modules onboard flash memory. The antenna port of the radio module is of u.Fl type and is meant for connection to an external antenna that is part of the host device RA1202 is designed to be integrated into a client host device only. It is not suitable for use as a base station radio. RA1202 is backward compatible with the following legacy Symbol radios: RA1001A; RA1001; TRX7370; TRX7345 (4 level modulations only);

Doc #: PD001743A01 Rev. B.0 Symbol Solutions, Inc. Page 8 of 22 Symbol Confidential Restricted 5.0 Product Level Specifications The RA1202 provides narrowband data communications using legacy Symbol proprietary narrowband protocol and FM modulation schemes. These include:  2 level FSK running at 4800 and 9600 bps  4 level FSK running at 9600 and 19,200 bps The RA1202 is functionally backward compatible for all modulations with currently existing Symbol narrowband radios including RA1001A; RA1001; TRX7370, TRX7355 (4 level modulations only). The implementation of the RA1202 is modular and is meant for integration in Symbol’s XT15 handheld and VH10 vehicle mount terminals as well a future potential host device. For a usable radio system an external antenna system, antenna feed cable and data and power interface board will be necessary for integration with any target host as required, the design of which shall not be covered under this specification. An interface board is necessary to provide conversion of host power from host voltage to required radio voltage as well as for providing appropriate mechanical connection between the host device and the radio, and for data interconnect. 5.1 Host Support RA1202 is initially intended to be integrated into the following hosts:  XT15 handheld terminal with WinCE 6.0 operating system  VH10 vehicle mount terminal with WinCE 6.0 operating system The open architecture of RA1202 is designed to allow ease of integration with any potential future host devices by limiting the connection to single power supply and communications bus (RS232 UART serial interface). In addition to electro-mechanical integration a driver will be required for using the radio module in alternate operating systems such as but not limited to Windows CE 7 and Windows 7. 5.2 UART Interface A UART interface is required for communication between the host and the radio. 5.3 Radio Protocols and Features The following protocols are supported by the RA1202:

Doc #: PD001743A01 Rev. B.0 Symbol Solutions, Inc. Page 14 of 22 Symbol Confidential Restricted Section B – Detailed Specifications 8.0 General 8.1 Description The radio module consists of 54-pin interface, microcontroller, modem chipset, transmitter, receiver, RF front end for transmit and receive, Tx/Rx switch and antenna port as shown below. Host sends commands and bidirectional data to the microcontroller (MCU) through the UART interface on the 54-pin interface. MCU sends data and control signals to the modem chipset, which modulates the data in one of 4 of Symbol’s 4 modulation types: 2L 4800, 2L 9600, 4L 9600, 4L 19200 baud rate. Modem outputs IQ data to transmitter, which modulates data to RF carrier, amplifies it and outputs it on antenna port when Tx/Rx switch is set to transmit position. When Tx/Rx switch is set into Rx positions, received data is filtered, amplified, de-modulated by receiver and then decoded by modem. Modem sends data to MCU, where it is buffered and relayed back to the host device. Radio module also includes mechanical structures for support and shielding: top shield, radio frame and bottom shield. 8.2 Block Diagram – Radio Module Refer to confidential block diagram. 9.0 Interfaces The figure below describes the connection and interface scheme for RA1202

This allows host to query radio module part number and serial number and therefore allow correlation of each radio module with the factory test report. 11.3 Radio Type storage and security RA1202 radio module has 2 hardware types. These 2 hardware types are configured during manufacturing into 12 different radio types to meet country region approval requirements. Radio type is factory set and stored in the radio MCU non-volatile memory. Radio type is locked outside of manufacturing of the radio module. There are 3 levels of security to ensure end users cannot modify the radio type outside of factory or authorized service depots:
Doc #: PD001743A01 Rev. B.0 Symbol Solutions, Inc. Page 19 of 22 Symbol Confidential Restricted  Locked and signed software does not allow access to commands to modify radio type. Control panel in windows can only read the radio type.  Password protection. This is added security beyond the locked and signed software.  Specialized commands to change radio types, which are only available in manufacturing and authorized service depots. 11.4 Radio Protocol Drivers are available supporting the following features:  Compatible with Symbol’s NarrowBand Polling Protocol Cellular only. Non-cellular modes not be supported.  Transparent roaming and power saving modes (terminals only). 9130/9140 2L modulation base stations not be supported  RMAN API interface supported by the TekTerm application (terminals only)  Radio protocol diagnostic information (viewable via TekTerm for terminals) 11.5 Radio Calibration data All calibration parameters are calibrated and tested during manufacturing then locked out from end customers. 12.0 Host Software 12.1 Radio Tests RTest command line utility allow developers and approval testers to perform the following radio tests:  Channel (frequency) selection  Transmit long  Transmit test  Receive Test (BER) 12.2 Configuration and Tuning RTest allows developer, manufacturing and approval tester to configure all necessary radio settings such as data rate, modulation type and operating frequency. End user shall not be able to modify any approval related parameters of the radio module. This is done by 3 layers of protection described in section 11.3 of this document.

This is used by system installers to determine the best location of base stations for new NarrowBand sites. It also indicates the coverage level. 12.4 Software Update feature Software is available to upgrade RA1202 firmware through UART host connection, for in-system upgrade and depot upgrade. As a backup in case of flash corruption and serial interface no longer operational it is possible to update firmware through JTAG programming interface. Only firmware which Regulatory Agency approved can be loaded on the radio module. 13.0 Mechanical & Ergonomic Specifications 13.1 General Interface to Host: 54-pin Samtec ASP-176298-02 (8.7mm custom pin lengths of Samtec FTE-125-xx-G-DV-A-P-TR series) Antenna Cable Interface: Hirose U.FL-R-SMT(10) Weight: 37.1g Dimensions: 64 (W) x 52.5 (L) x 17.1 (H) mm 13.2 Drop Rating This is highly dependent upon host mounting system.
