2 of 15 What is the UIC802? The UIC802 is a battery operated contactless RFID and magnetic stripe card reader designed for data collection application such as Trade Show Lead Capture, Time & Attendance, Off-line E-Payment, etc. The UIC802 has many advanced features yet it’s very simple to use. The UIC802 contains two readers modules. One is the contactless RFID reader. The other one is a manual insert magnetic card reader which can decode 3 tracks ISO, AAMVA, and custom data formats. Each read data is stored into the internal 1 Mega byte flash memory. In additional to the card data, the time and date, record number, ID entry, action code entry are also being captured. UIC802 Components The UIC802 kit consists of the following components: - The UIC802 Potable reader. - The P.C. data upload cable. - The UIC801 Utility Program diskette.

4 of 15 UIC802 Card Reading Operation The UIC802 is designed specifically for data collection purpose. The LCD display prompt and setup screens that make the UIC802 very easy to use. Here are some simple steps to operate the UIC802. They involve the reading of two types of cards: (I) Magnetic Card Only – when RFID is disabled (II) Magnetic Card and RFID Card – When RFID is enabled To learn how to turn on the RFID operation, please refer to the section of ‘RFID Enable’ in the System Command Menu section. (I) Magnetic Card Only Operation: 1. Press the POWER key to wake up the UIC802. The UIC802 will beep and displays the idle prompt: 2. Insert the magnetic card all the way into the UIC802. It is very important not to remove the card until “Pull Crd to Read” displays on the UIC802 LCD: 3. Remove magnetic card swiftly. The UIC802 display the first 32 bytes of the card data and the message “Saving Data Now Be Patient” briefly. At this point, the card data has been stored in the internal Flash memory. The display goes back to the idle prompt. 4. If the UIC802 is unable to read the magnetic card due to bad card or improper swipe speed. Two possible scenarios may occur. a. The UIC802 is unable to detect any card data (for example, magnetic stripe is reversed). The reader will beep 3 times to remind the user about this.

5 of 15 b. The UIC802 detect read error. The UIC802 will display the error code and the message “Pls Reinsert Card” as the idle prompt. (II) Magnetic Card and RFID Card Operation 1. Press the POWER key to wake up the UIC802. The UIC802 will beep and displays the idle prompt: 2. Read the RFID card by taping it against the upper left corner of the reader, where the RFID antenna locates. The UIC802 will beep once, display the first 32 bytes of the card data and the message “Saving Data Now Be Patient” briefly. At this point, the card data has been stored in the internal Flash memory. The display will go back to the idle prompt. 3. If the card is brought to a distance too far from the antenna and not detected by it, it will have no response at all. The user has to bring it closer. If it is close enough, the reader will read the card. However, if the card is bad or reading unsuccessful, it will beep twice and show the following messages: 4. For this mode of dual card types operation, the user can always read the magnetic card by inserting it into the slot. The responses will be the same as in the magnetic card only case, except that the prompts messages are slightly different, to reflect either type of card reading: The “Pls Insert Card” will become “Please Read Card”. The “Pls ReInsert Magnetic Error Track 1 Pls Reinsert CRD 08-15 12:36 PMPls Insert Card 08-15 12:36 PM Please Read Card 08-15 12:36 P 00% WILLIAM SMITH 23 4567890123456789 Saving Data Now Be Patient Please Read Card 08-15 12:37 PM 00% RFID Bad Reading Pls ReRead Card 08-15 12:36 PM
6 of 15 CRD” will become “ Pls ReRead Card”. Function Keys F1 F2 F3 These function keys are used to scroll through the card content, after a card reading was taken, no matter from the magnetic or contactless card. After a successful card reading, pressing the CLEAR key and the F2 key together will bring the unit into card data display mode. It will display the first 32 bytes of the card data. The pressing of the F3 key, and so on, will display the next 32 bytes of the card data, or stay in the last 32 or less bytes of data, if it already comes to the end of the data buffer. Pressing the F1 key, and so on, will bring back to the previous 32 bytes of the card data, or stay in the first 32 bytes of data buffer, if it is already displaying the beginning of the data buffer. Pressing the CLEAR key will leave this card data display mode and go back to the idle prompt. Please note that the F2 key and the POWER key are physically the same key. The POWER key is pressed for waking up the unit when the latter is in sleeping mode. While pressing the CLEAR key and the F2 key will display the card data of the last card reading, when the reader is in the active operating mode. UIC802 User Command Menu The UIC802 can be used in many data collection applications such as Trade Show Lead Capture, Time & Attendance, Off-line E-Payment, Inventory Control, etc. A User Command Menu is implemented in the UIC802 for different configurations to be used in various applications. 1. To access the User Command Menu, press the keys “CLEAR” and “6” together. The LCD displays the message “USER COMMAND” briefly and then the User Setup Selection menu, press “CLEAR” key to exit from User Command Menu anytime. 2. Selection “1” – I.D.

7 of 15 When the I.D. Entry option is enabled, the UIC802 will prompt the user to enter the PID (Personal Identification) number after a successful card read. The PID is any 6 digits number. The PID will be stored in Flash memory along with the captured card data. Application Example: Trade Show Lead Capture This option can record which the sales person that took the lead. The sales person ID will be stored in the memory with the captured lead information. 3. Selection “2” – Action Code Option Entry Enable When the Action Code option is enabled, the UIC802 will prompt the user to enter the Action Code after a successful card reading. The Action Codes are any 2 digits numbers. Up to 5 Action Codes can be entered for each record. The Action Codes will be stored in Flash memory along with the captured card data. Application Example: Time & Attendance This option can be used to indicate the time event such as Time In, Time Out, Lunch Out, Lunch In, etc. These time events are pre-defined by the 2 digits code. 4.
