Agency Information
Overview
Image Kiosks meet or exceed the requirements of all applicable standards organizations for safe operation. However, as with
any electrical equipment, the best way to ensure safe operation is to operate them according to the agency guidelines that follow.
Please read these guidelines carefully before using your Image Kiosk.

FCC Compliance
Image Kiosk comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Image Kiosks With an 802.11b Radio
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 radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio frequencies. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 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.
In accordance with FCC 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hand Held Products, Inc. may void the FCC
authorization to operate the equipment.
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only the accessories specified by the
!
manufacturer.
Canadian Compliance for Image Kiosks With an 802.11b Radio
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

This product is marked with in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the R&TTE
Directive, 1999/5/EC.
The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402–2.480 GHz
Restrictions in France are as follows:
• Indoor use: Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the entire 2.400–2.4835 GHz

the 2.454–2.483 GHz band
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Electrically Powered Devices
Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires devices to operate properly
in an EM Field with a strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to 1000MHz.
The maximum allowable field strength emitted by Image Kiosks is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules.
Therefore, the Image Kiosks RF has no effect on medical devices that meet the IEC specification.
Microwaves
The radio in the RF Image Kiosks operates on the same frequency band as a microwave oven. Therefore, if you use a microwave
within range of the RF Image Kiosks you may notice performance degradation in your wireless network. However, both your
microwave and your wireless network will continue to function.
Bath Image Kiosks do not contain a radio, and therefore, is not affected by microwave ovens.
For European Community Users
Hand Held Products complies with Directive 2002/69/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27
January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Connecting the Power and Communication Cables
The Image Kiosks have standard power cables that connect to a number of communication cables to suit your environment.
Standard Power Cable
The standard power cable powers the device and with an AC power adapter to convert the voltage from the power source to the
voltage required by the device. Image Kiosks must be connected to external power to run.
Communication Cables
The Image Kiosks offer the following communication options:
• USB Cable (four feet)
• Standard RS-232 Cable (12 feet)
• RS-232 Pass-Through (Y cable)
Note: You can verify the status of the USB communication cable by the icon in the task tray; see Task Tray Icons on page 2-2.
USB Cable
The USB communication cable (p/n 42206398-01E) supports USB 1.1. You can connect USB 2.0 devices that are backwards
compatible with USB 1.1 with this cable but data transfer will occur 1.1 speeds.
This cable features a single, 15-pin male connector that plugs into the DB15-pin female port on the back panel. The other end
features a standard Type A USB (1.1 or higher) connector designed to fit standard USB ports.
Note: Make sure the power switch is
turned off on the computer where
you will be installing the Image
Kiosk.
1. Plug the 15-pin connector (HDB15) of
the communication cable into the back
of the Image Kiosk.
2. Plug the USB connector into the port
on your host workstation.
3. Plug the power plug into the pod on
the communication cable.
4. Plug the AC power supply into a power
outlet.

Rebooting the Device
There are three types of reboots: a warm boot, a cold boot, and a hard boot.
Warm B oot
A warm boot reboots the device without erasing data and applications stored in RAM memory.
To launch a warm boot, tap Start > Programs > Power Tools > Reboot > Warm Boot.
Cold Boot
A cold boot reboots the device, erases some data and applications stored in RAM memory, and re-installs the CAB files stored
in the Autoinstall folder.
To launch a cold boot,
•Tap Start > Programs > Power Tools > Reboot > Cold Boot.
• Use the reset switch; see Using the Reset Switch on page 3-7.
Hard Boot
A hard boot reboots the device, erases all contents of RAM memory, and re-installs the CAB files stored in the Autoinstall folder.
To launch a hard boot, power cycle the unit (remove and reapply AC power).
Using the Reset Switch
The reset switch appears in the same place on all Image Kiosks and allows you to cold boot the device
and reapply AC power.
Use the end of a straightened paper clip to push the reset switch on the top panel. The unit begins cold booting immediately.

Using the Magnetic Stripe Reader
All IK8570 devices contain a magnetic stripe reader (MSR). To use the MSR, you must have an application installed on the Image
Kiosk that can read and process data from a magnetic stripe.
Fortunately, all Image Kiosks contain an MSR Demo that demonstrates some of the capabilities of the MSR.
Swiping a Card With the MSR Demo
1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > double-tap MSR Demo .
Note: The display area should read “Ready for MSR Swipe.”
2. Make sure that the magnetic strip is facing down, towards the touch
screen display.
3. Slide the card from left to right or right to left as shown on the right.
4. MSR Demo reads the card, beeps, and displays the data according
to the options selected;
5. You can swipe the card again and the new data will display. (Scroll up to see the data from the prior swipe.)
6. You can continue to swipe cards and read the data.
To clear all prior card reads, tap File > Clear.
7. To close the MSR Demo, tap File > Exit.

MSR Demo Options
The MSR Demo main window offers many data display options.
Raw Data
When you select Raw Data from the Select Data to Display drop-down list, all the data from Tracks 1, 2, and 3 of the card display.
If you don’t want to see information from one or more of the tracks, de-select it, then swipe the card again.
Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are active only when Raw Data is selected.
Parsed Data
When you select Parsed Data from the Select Data to Display drop-down list, parsed data from the card displays.
Not all MSR cards contain parsed data. If the data on the card is not parsed, the display area reads “PARSED DATA NOT
AVAILABLE FOR THIS CARD” after you swipe the card.
