ToolLink User Guide Communication Regulation Information EMC FCC 47 CFR, Part 15 Federal Communications Commission Interference Statement FCC Compliance: This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules for intentional radiators and Class A digital devices when installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual. Following these rules provides reasonable protection against harmful interference from equipment operated in a commercial area. This equipment should not be installed in a residential area as it can radiate radio frequency energy that could interfere with radio communications, a situation the user would have to fix at their own expense. Equipment Modification Caution: Equipment changes or modifications not expressly approved by ThingMagic, Inc., the party responsible for FCC compliance, could void your authority to operate the equipment and could create a hazardous condition. Important User Information: In order to comply with FCC and IC requirements for RF exposure safety, a separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9 in) needs to be maintained between the radiating elements of the antenna and the bodies of nearby persons.

ToolLink User Guide Warnings Antenna This device has been designed to operate with the antennas provided with it (MTI MT-262024) and having a maximum gain of 7dBic. Antennas not listed here or having a gain greater than 7dBic are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain is chosen such that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than permitted for successful communication. Keep Antennas Connected at All Times All ports MUST be connected to antennas when ToolLink is active. Operating the reader without a proper load may damage the transmitter. Don’t Block Antennas DO NOT block antennas with metal objects. A large, conductive object directly in front of the antenna may reflect back enough energy to damage the radio transmitter. Best Practices For best results, follow these guidelines when attaching tags to tools. • DO NOT place directly on metal. o Maintain at least 1/4" separation between tag and metallic/conductive objects. o Maximize separation from metal. o Avoid battery packs • Can't scan through metal containers o Metal drawers must be open at least 3" during scan. o Metal lockers must be open during scan. • Avoid high-traffic, high-contact areas 4
