1. Preface
The 8300 Terminals are rugged, versatile, high performance data terminals designed
for all-day, everyday use. They are powered by a Li-ion rechargeable battery with
working hour longer than 100 hours. They are supported by a rich set of development
tools, including a Windows-based application generator, “C” and “Basic” compilers.
With their integrated Laser/CCD barcode scanning unit and optional RF module, the
8300 Terminals are ideal for both batch and real time applications such as inventory
control, shop floor management, warehousing and distribution operations.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, 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
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Bluetooth and WLAN transmitters are simultaneously transmitted.
The collocated effects are verified and there is no significant collocated effect.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits,
human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal.
This device can not be worn on the body and at least keep it 20 cm away from body parts other than
hand, wrists, feet and ankles.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 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 comm ercial environment.
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.
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.
