L-P101 Library USB Reader 1 For Your Safety 1.1 General Use The L-P101 is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips:  Take care not to scratch the device. Keep the device clean. When working with the device, use only TAGSYS-approved accessories.  This device is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry.  Protect the device from extreme temperatures. For example, do not place the device in a windowed area where the sun may cause extreme temperatures, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.  Do not store or use the device in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.  Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. If the surface of the device becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution. 1.2 Care and Maintenance This device is a product of superior design and should be handled with care. The suggestions below will further increase the lifetime of this device.  Keep the device and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.  Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.  Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.  Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.  Do not store in cold areas. When the device warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside the device, which may damage electronic circuit boards.  Do not attempt to open the device. Non-professional handling of the device may damage it.  Handle the device with care. Shocks may break internal circuit boards.  Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents. Gently wipe the device with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.  Do not paint the device. Paint may clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper operation. Paint with metallic contents may limit device performances.  If the device or any accessory are not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified TAGSYS representative. 8/25 Revision 1.0 August 2005
For Your Safety 1.3 Important Safety Information 1.3.1 Operating Environment When connecting the device or any accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products. As with all RF equipment, users are advised that the equipment should only be used in its normal operating position. August 2005 Revision 1.0 9/25
L-P101 Library USB Reader 2 Certification 2.1 Occupational Health TAGSYS L-P101 Reader has been designed and tested to be in conformity with the European Standard EN 50364 “Limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from devices used in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and similar applications” in conjunction with the European Standard EN 50357 describing how to evaluate the exposure level. 2.2 Regulatory Notices An RFID system typically composed of an RF emission device such as the L-P101 connected to an antenna is subject to national regulations that may differ by country. One important item to consider is the maximum permissible magnetic field intensity at a distance of 10 meters from the antenna that must not exceed 42 dBµA/m in Europe and 38 dBµA/m in US. The L-P101 meets these limits. 2.2.1 In Europe (CE and RTTE Directives) The L-P101 complies (CE Declaration of Conformity granted) with the European EMC directive. The L-P101 complies with the requirements of the Telecommunication Terminal Equipment Act (FTEG) and the RTTE Directive 1995/5/EC. It is the responsibility of the TAGSYS Reseller to install the L-P101 as described in this User’s Guide or TAGSYS Documentation. Any modification of the L-P101 is prohibited without the written consent of TAGSYS. Unauthorized modifications may void the conformity of the equipment to CE and RTTE Directives and will void the TAGSYS warranty. CAUTION: It is the responsibility of the CIT (Certified Integrators by TAGSYS) to install the L-P101 as described in this Reference Guide or in TAGSYS Documentation. If a L-P101 is further integrated in a different product, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of this complementary product to obtain the required approvals for this product.10/25 Revision 1.0 August 2005

8.2.1 General Provisions This warranty sets forth the full extent of TAGSYS responsibility regarding the Product. In any event, TAGSYS warranty is strictly limited to (at TAGSYS’ sole option) the replacement or refund of the Products purchase price to TAGSYS, of Products considered as defective by TAGSYS. The remedy provided above is in lieu and to the exclusion of all other remedies, obligations or liabilities on the part of TAGSYS for damages, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and including but not limited to, damages for any defects in the Products or for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from such defects or from any work done in connection therewith or for consequential loss, whether based upon lost goodwill, lost resale profits, impairment of other goods or arising from claims by third parties or otherwise. TAGSYS disclaims any explicit warranty not provided herein and any implied warranty, guaranty or representation as to performance, quality and absence of hidden defects, and any remedy for breach of contract, which but for this provision, might arise by implication, operation of law, custom of trade or course of dealing, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. 8.2.2 How to Return Defective Products The Buyer shall notify TAGSYS of the defects within 15 working days after the defects are discovered. Defective Products must be returned to TAGSYS after assignment by a TAGSYS Quality Department representative of an RMA (Return Material Authorization) number. No Products shall be returned without their proof of purchase and without the acceptance number relating to the return procedure. All Products shall be returned with a report from the Buyer stating the complete details of the alleged defect. Call +33 4 91 27 57 36 for return authorization and shipping address. If returned Products prove to be non-defective, a charge will be applied to cover TAGSYS’ analysis cost and shipping costs. If the warranty does not apply for returned Products (due to age, or application of a warranty exclusion clause), a quote for replacement will be issued, and no replacement will be granted until a valid purchase order is received. If no purchase order is received within 30 days after the date of TAGSYS quote, TAGSYS will return the products and charge the analysis cost and shipping costs. All replaced Products shall become the property of TAGSYS. The Product Return Form is included on the following page. This form should accompany any product you need to return to TAGSYS for analysis in the event of a problem. 24/25 Revision 1.0 August 2005
