FCC Regulatory Compliance Statement

Checkpoint Systems, Inc., offers Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) or Radio Frequency
Identification Products that have been FCC certified or verified to 47 CFR Part 15 Subparts B/C
and/or 47 CFR Part 18. Appropriately, one of the following labels will apply to the approval:

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

- OR -

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) including this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation, which may include intermittent decreases in detection and/or
intermittent increases in alarm activity.

- OR –

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
miscellaneous type ISM device, pursuant to Part 18 of the FCC Rules. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
communications reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
please contact Checkpoint Systems, Inc., at 1 [phone] for further assistance.

Industry Canada

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry 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 (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.

This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category
II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated
for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause interference.

(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device
.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that permitted for successful communication.

Industrie Canada

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son
numéro de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie
Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain
admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types
d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal
indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur

Le fonctionnement de l’ appareil est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:

1. Cet appareil ne doit pas perturber les communications radio, et

2. cet appareil doit supporter toute perturbation, y compris les perturbations qui
pourraient provoquer son dysfonctionnement.

Pour réduire le risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain
doivent être choisis de façon que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne
dépasse pas celle nécessaire pour une communication réussie.
