FCC warning statement

This device complies 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.

The user manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Note: The grantee is not responsible for any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

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 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 or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the 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.
This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

9. Universal SDK

ID TECH's Universal SDK supports MiniSmart II development in C# on Windows and Java on Android.
Contact an ID TECH representative for free access to the SDK of choice. ID TECH recommends the use
of these SDKs to achieve rapid integration of MiniSmart II with tablets, POS systems, mobile devices,
electronic cash registers, and more.

The Universal SDK is designed to provide easy high-level access to virtually all MiniSmart II
functionalities while eliminating the need to use low-level firmware commands. The SDK's
convenience objects, and rich APIs greatly facilitate exceptional processing, data parsing, and
response-code interpretation. As a result, sophisticated integrations are achieved relatively quickly.

The Universal SDK comes with sample code and ample documentation. It also comes with a Universal
Demo or "UDemo" app (for Windows) that facilitates troubleshooting, terminal-configuration testing,
and data validation. The UDemo app is available for download at ID TECH's public Knowledge Base.
