Regulatory Compliance Statements
FCC Warning 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 or more
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.
CAUTION :
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this
device could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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.
RF exposure warning
The product complies with the FCC portable RF expo- the sure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended operation as described in this manual. Further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such a function is available.
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on the body is 0.632 W/kg.
Information for the OEMs and Integrators
The following statement must be included with all versions of this document
supplied to an OEM or
integrator, but should not be distributed to the end-user.
- This device is intended for OEM integrators only.
- Please see the full Grant of Equipment document for other restrictions.
Canadian Compliance Statement
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment
Regulations.
Cet appareil numerique de la classe B respecte less exigences du Reglement sur
le material broilleur du Canada.
European Conformity Stateme nt
Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the R&TTE 1999/5/EC and EMC 89/336/
EEC
directives.
RoHS Statement
This device conforms to RoHS (Reduction Of Hazardous Substances) European
Union regulations
that set maximum concentration limits on hazardous materials used in
electrical and electronic equipment.
Taiwan NCC Warning Statement
Laser Information
The Argox RA-7120 is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of
DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II
and Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous. The device contains
internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the
maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations. Its scanner is designed
so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during normal
operation, user maintenance, or during prescribed service operations.
CAUTION!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may
result in hazardous laser light. The use of optical instruments with the
scanner will increase eye hazards. Optical instruments include binoculars,
microscopes, and magnifying glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by
the user.
IMPORTANT NOTE
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with a minimum distance of 1.5cm
between the radiator and the user’s body.
Battery Notices
The Argox RA-7120 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. However,
because the RA-7120 may not start without an external power source due to
battery discharge after extended storage periods to charge the battery to full
capacity, connect the RA-7120 to an external power source with a USB charging
cable. Initially charge the RA-7120 for at At least 12 hours.
NOTE : For the first time use, determine that the main battery pack is
loaded into the new
RA-7120, and then connect the unit to the external power source.
The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and
how the device
is used. Conserve the battery life through the following:
-
Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than deep ones. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion battery does not cause harm because there is
no memory. -
Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
-
Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature when charging the
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. Charging is most efficient at room temperature or in
a slightly cooler environment.
It is essential that batteries are charged within the temperature ranges of
32º F – 104ºF (0°C – 40°C). Charging batteries outside of the specified
temperature range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life
cycle.
CAUTION!
Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which will increase
the internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and
unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to
ensure a safe charging temperature range.
Battery Storage and Safety Notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months,
their capacity
may deplete due to the buildup of internal resistance. But the batteries may
deplete more rapidly at the warmer end of this range. It is recommended to
store batteries at room temperature.
Introduction
The RA-7120 provides Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID), with optional bar code scanning functionality. The unit can be used stand-alone or paired with a BT wireless technology-enabled host device (such as Android devices).
NOTES : Some screens or windows shown in this guide may differ from the
actual screens shown on the device. This guide refers to screens and features
from the Argox UHF RFID mobile unit and
Argox scanner control applications.
Unpacking
Carefully take all the items out of the packing box and save the shipping box
for later storage and
shipping. Verify the following items are in the box:
- RA-7120 reader
- 2600 mAh Lithium-ion battery (loaded into the terminal before shipped)
- USB cable
- Quick start guide
※ Inspect the items for damage. If any item is missing or damaged, contact the Argox Support Center immediately.
