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 desi gned 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 i s no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radi o or television reception, whi ch can be determi ned 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This equipment complies with FCC and IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be inst alled and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the
radiator & your body.
