Any changes or modifications to Zebra equipment, not expressly approved by Zebra, could void the authority to operate the equipment.Regulatory CertificationThe device is compliant with the following values and antenna characteristics:AntennasUse only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage and may violate regulations.Health and Safety RecommendationsWarning for Use of Wireless DevicesPlease observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.Potentially Hazardous AtmospheresYou are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders). Safety in HospitalsWireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.Use With Hearing AidsWhen some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.Other Medical DevicesPlease consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.FCC / EU RF Exposure GuidelinesSafety InformationReducing RF Exposure - Use ProperlyOnly operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.InternationalThe device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields from radio devices. For information on "International" human exposure to electromagnetic fields refer to the Zebra Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at http://www.zebra.com/doc.For further information on the safety of RF energy from wireless devices, seehttp://responsibility.zebra.com/index.php/downloads/, which is located under Wireless Communications and Health.US and CanadaTo comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, antennas that are mounted externally at remote locations or operating near users at stand-alone desktop or similar configurations must operate with a minimum separation distance of 34 cm from all persons.EUTo comply with EU RF exposure requirements, antennas that are mounted externally at remote locations or operating near users at stand-alone desktop or similar configurations must operate with a minimum separation distance of 34 cm from all persons.Power SupplyThis device must be powered from an 802.3af or 802.3at compliant power source which has been certified by the appropriate agencies, or by a Zebra approved UL LISTED ITE (IEC/EN60950-1) power supply with electrical ratings: Output 24Vdc, min 3.25A, with a recommended ambient temperature of at least 40 degrees C. Use of alternative power supply will invalidate any approvals given to this unit and may be dangerous.Air Handling Space ApplicationsThis device is suitable for use in Environmental Air Handling Space (EAHS) in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the National Electric Code, and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 21, CSA C22.1.All Cables intended for interconnecting the FX7500 to other devices shall be suitable rated for use in Environmental Air Handling Space per UL 2043.Devices such as Power Adapters, PoE (Power Injectors), antennas shall not be installed in the Environmental Air Handling Space unless they are suitable for use in the EAHS per UL 2043. Wireless Devices Country ApprovalsRegulatory markings, subject to certification, are applied to the device signifying the radio is approved for use in the following countries: United States, Canada, Japan, China, South Korea, Australia, and Europe1Please refer to the Zebra Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for details of other country markings. This is available at http://www.zebra.com/doc.Operation of the device without regulatory approval is illegal.Note1: Europe includes, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Country Selection - Worldwide Version OnlySelect only the country in which you are using the device. Any other selection will make the operation of this device illegal.NOTE This step is not required for networks supporting Power-over-Ethernet (POE).NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register host names through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that host name will work all the time. As an alternative to using the host name on the reader label, construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the reader. To do this, enter the prefix FX7500, followed by the last six characters of the MAC address. For example, for a MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX7500, followed by 3BA63A.Enter http://FX75003BA63A in the browser address bar to access the reader.Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 GPIAntenna Port 1Port 4 GPIO 24 VDCPower10/100BaseT Ethernet Port(with POE)FX7500 US and Canada EU TaiwanMax Conducted RF Power at Antenna Input+ 30.0dBm with + 6.0dBiL max gain antenna or + 29.36dBm with + 6.6dBiL max gain antenna+29.2 dBm + 29.79dBm with + 6.0dBiL max gain antenna or + 29.36dBm with + 6.6dBiL max gain antennaMax Antenna GainAllowed+ 6.6dBiL +5.5 dBiL + 6.6dBiLMax Radiated PowerAllowed4W EIRP 2W ERP 4W EIRPAntenna Type Circularly Polarized PlateN/A Circularly Polarized PlateDraft 2
