- iii Industry Canada Compliance (i-CARD III / NA) This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numrique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Rglement sur le matriel brouilleur du Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population;

consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada. European Notification according R&TTE Directive (i-CARD III / EU) This equipment complies to Art. 6.4 of R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC) and can be used in the following European countries:

Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands , Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland. European Notification according R&TTE Directive (i-CARD III / EU / I) This equipment complies to Art. 6.4 of R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC) including national restrictions in Italy according ERC/REC 70-03 Annex 1 Band I and can be used in above noted European countries and Italy. Antenna Installation Notes To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, patch and YAGI antennas must be professionally installed with a minimum distance of 20cm or more from the body of all persons.

- v i-CARD III Users Guide 1.0 Overview This guide explains how to install and operate the PC version of the i-CARD III when using a laptop or desktop computer. 1.1 Functionality The i-CARD III is IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Intelligent Long Range (ILR) radio frequency mobile interrogator in a type II PC Card format. The i-CARD III is integrated into portable or laptop computers and is used in conjunction with i-LINKS (or other ILR software) to read and write data to tags. The flexibility of an interrogator on a PC Card allows for integration of ILR into enterprise systems and permits combination with other technologies such as bar code and wireless LAN. The i-CARD III is available in a FCC compliant version (i-CARD III/NA) and two European versions (i-CARD III / EU and i-CARD III / EU / I) to communicate in a global market. The signal propagation characteristics of the UHF radio band used by ILR technology provide long-range communication and high-speed transmission rates for reliable data exchange. Computers with an i-CARD III can communicate to tags at a distance of up to 10 meters

(33 feet). The i-CARD III communicates with the entire i-Q and i-D active tag product line. The installation and usage instructions for the i-CARD III are identical for all versions. 1.2 Components The i-CARD III resembles a standard PC card. On the exposed end of the i-CARD III are: a MMCX antenna connector, a 15-pin serial connector (not used in the PC version of the i-CARD III) and 3 status LEDs indicating Transmit, Receive and RF Carrier Detect. These LEDs are operational after appropriate ILR software is installed.

- 6 i-CARD III Users Guide 2.0 Installation To install the i-CARD III, attach the antenna, insert the i-CARD III into the desired computer and install the necessary hardware driver for the specific operating system. The following sections describe each of these steps in detail. Note: The hardware driver only needs to be installed the first time an i-CARD III is inserted into a computer or when performing an upgrade to the driver. 2.1 Hardware To install the antenna, grasp its base and insert it into the antenna connector until it locks into place. To remove the antenna, grasp the base firmly and pull carefully to avoid damage. 2.2 Software The computer being used for i-CARD III operations must be running one of the following operating systems: Windows XP/NT/98/ME/2000/CE. To install the i-CARD III, perform the following steps:

1. Insert the ILR Installation Disk (either floppy disk or CD) into the computer that will operate the i-CARD III. 2. Insert the i-CARD III into the PC card slot of the desktop or laptop computer. An installation wizard will start immediately after the i-CARD III is inserted. 3. Complete the wizard instructions and refer to the following sections for additional instructions specific to each operating system:

For O/S:

2000/XP 98/ME NT CE Go to section:

2.2.1 2.2.1 2.2.2 2.2.3 Note: A readme.txt file is available for each operating system on the ILR Installation Disk and contains the same instructions that are described in the following sections. 2.2.1 Windows 98/ME/2000/XP The following section describes how to install the device driver on Windows 98/ME/2000 and XP. When the i-CARD III is inserted into the PC slot, an installation wizard begins automatically and the following screen appears:
