Safe Operation IMPORTANT! This device may be used to locate and deactivate Ultra•Max ® labels on merchandise to help speed up the checkout process in busy retail environments. Like many similar devices, the AMB- 4020 scanner/deactivator emits electromagnetic fields that may affect certain implanted medical devices. Since it is impossible to tell which customers may have an implanted medical device, it should not be used within 30cm (12in) of a customer’s head and torso. Some employees with implanted medical devices may notice interactions while operating this equipment. These interactions are ordinarily transitory and should not be harmful. However, if the employee feels uncomfortable, a change in assigned duties should be considered. Laser Device Warnings WARNING: Do not stare (look) in the beam of the laser: It is a Laser Class 2 and it may produce eye damages. WARNING: Do not test the device with the aperture directed to your eyes. WARNING: It is very important to be aware that the duration of the laser radiation emission is longer than the audible beep that results when the push- button (trigger) is activated: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN THE APERTURE TOWARDS YOUR EYES DURING THE RADIATION EMISSION. The red beam is an optical indicator that the radiation is present and, as long as it is visible, the scanner shall not be directed towards the operator or towards any other person’s eyes. WARNING: Do not attempt to open the equipment enclosure! There are no serviceable parts within this equipm…

Box 370 Newberry, Florida 32669 USA Re: Request for withholding from public disclosure proprietary information submitted pursuant to an application for certification of transmitter. FCC ID: FCC ID: BVCHH2BCS Dear Sir or Madam: Sensormatic Electronics Corporation requests certain materials submitted with this application for certification be withheld from public disclosure. This request is made under the provision of 47 CFR 0.457 (d) and 5 USC 552(b)(4) Freedom of Information Act, Trade Secrets. The items for which confidentiality is requested include the Operational Description, Block Diagram and Schematic Diagrams. This information contains proprietary information (trade secrets) regarding the circuit operation and capabilities (specific values of components, circuit design details and system architecture) that are the result of our extensive investment in research and development. Without the disclosed information, competitive organizations would take considerable more time to assess and develop a workable competitive product. As a result, we believe that disclosure of these company-guarded materials would compromise our leading position in this market. We therefore formally request that the materials identified “Confidential” be kept strictly confidential and not made available for inspections by any other party, except on a need to know basis for the sole purpose of the certification process. Sincerely, William M. Elliott Sr. EMC Engineer, Compliance Engineering

FCC ID: BVCHH2BCS IC: 3506A-HH2BCS 4 II. General Information This report is part of the application for Certification of a 900 MHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum transmitter operating in the 902-928 MHz bands under the rules provided for frequency-hopping spread spectrum transmitters found in 47 CFR 15.247. The product covered by this report is the Sensormatic AMB-4020 Base Charging Station. Test Methodology The Sensormatic® AMB-4020 Base Charging Station charges the lithium-ion battery of the Sensormatic® AMB-4020 Hand-Held Scanner/Deactivator and locks the handheld securely in place when not in use. The Base Charging Station also has circuitry that enables it to communicate over a wired Ethernet network namely 10BaseT. It contains an RS232 port for service only and an RS485 port that can communicate with other EAS systems and an I/O connector that can sense relay contact closures is used in some legacy EAS systems instead of RS485. A 903 to 915 MHz frequency hopping transmitter is also contained in this module and is used to wirelessly transmit the zero crossing line sync for the purpose of synchronizing the Hand-Held Scanner/Deactivator unit that is equipped with an equivalent receiver. The frequencies as well as the output power settings are programmed from the DSP to the UHF TX via the 3 wire SPI interface. This UHF transmitter hops through a random sequence of 60 frequencies between 903 and 915MHz, spending approx 340ms on each frequency. Once the TX has…
