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 experienced radio/TV technicians for help. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved or authorized by the manufacturer may violate the compliance of this equipment to the Class B limits for a digital device and could, thereby, void the users authority to operate the equipment. © AgInfoLink Technologies 3 Tag Tracker Wireless RFID ISO Tag Reader Quickstart Instructions (Rev A2 15-11-99) These instructions are intended to guide the user through the basic setup and operation of the AgInfoLink Tag Tracker.

Low Battery Indicator Provides low-battery warning. Power Switch/Toggle Provides main power to the reader. When switched toward the screw heads, the main power is on. Non-Removable Antenna Receives data from Reader into Host Interface. Setup In order to prepare the Reader for use, the rechargeable Ni-Cad battery must be installed. Since the Ni- Cad battery is shipped in a discharged state, it must be fully charged (Approximately 1 hour using the included charger) prior to Reader use. To minimize battery charge memory, do not recharge the battery until the low battery LED becomes active. Battery Installation Instructions • Unscrew the Battery hatch fastener by turning it counter-clockwise approximately 5 complete turns. The fastener will accept a coin as a screwdriver if needed. • Open hatch by swinging it down away from the Readers handle (See figure 2). Figure 2 • NOTE- Tag Tracker ships with the battery already installed. Battery can only be removed or inserted in one way due to a molded guide-slot. • Powered by 9.6 volt Makita Ni-Cad battery. Battery accessed with a thumb screw hatch. Charged with standard Makita charger . • To insert the charged battery, line up raised rib on the battery with the molded slot in the battery compartment. (See figure 3.) © AgInfoLink Technologies 6 Figure 3 • To secure battery and battery compartment, screw end-cap fastener clock-wise approximately 5 turns until seated. Base Station Setup AgInfoLink’s Tag Tracker is powered through the host computer's mouse port. No battery is required. A second mouse connection is provided on the Base Station to allow continued use of an external mouse. Either of the small circular connectors on the base station can be used for the power or external mouse (interchangeable). The Base Station is cabled to an available port on the host computer, using a straight serial cable (DB9F to DB9M). The baud rate is 1200,with parity, data, and stop bits of N,8,1. • Thread the provided antenna top into the antenna tower on the Host Interface. • Using the provided Serial cable, plug the appropriate end into the 9-pin port (DB9-F) on the Tag Tracker Base Station. (See Figure 4) • The Serial cable will only connect in one way to eliminate confusion. The other end will connect to the serial port (DB9-M) on your PC.

December 19, 1999 Federal Communications Commission Authorization And Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Reference: FCC ID: ON2TTREADER01 Gentlemen, This application is being filed for an original grant pursuant to parts 2 and 15, subpart C of the FCC rules for a transmitter operating at 418 MHz. pursuant to PP 15.231of the Rules. The transition rule in Section 15.37 does not apply. This device shows compliance under the new rules adopted with Docket 87-389. The enclosure on the unit tested is entirely uncoated plastic. The antennas which will be furnished with the product are as indicated in the Exhibit 3 photographs. These antennas are internal and not accessible to the user and therefore cannot be substituted by the user. The application exhibits are organized as follows: Exhibit 1: FCC ID plate and location. Exhibit 2: Responsibility of the Grantee and Statement of Test Accuracy. Exhibit 3: UUT External Photos Exhibit 5: Schematics Exhibit 6: EMI Test Report Exhibit 7: Test Photos Exhibit 8: Users Manual Exhibit 9; Internal Photos Exhibit 13: Cover Letter, Letter of Authorization, Request for Confidentiality. Thank you for your time and attention to these matters. Sincerely, Mark Lapchak President Phone/FAX: 303/771-6925

FCC ID: ON2TTREADER01 1 RF ENERGY EMISSION TEST REPORT OF THE AGINFOLINK Inc. Tag Tacker Low Power Transmitter PREPARED BY: Markian Lapchak Mark Lapchak & Associates Inc. 6721 S. Leyden Ct.

The AGINFOLINK TAG TRACKER TRANSMITTER with Base Station (RECEIVER), is hereafter referred to as the UUT. The UUT, with test setup as described in the block diagram of Appendix II, PASSESall the radiated requirements, the FCC Part 15, Subpart C regulations, pp 15.231 governing Low Power Intentional Radiators operating in the band above 70 MHz and 15.209 for operation below 160 KHz. The maximum electromagnetic field strength at the transmit frequency of 418.009 MHz was 77 db verses a spec limit of 80.3 db when measured with a peak detector at 120 KHz bandwidth as explained in paragraph 5.0. The occupied bandwidth was .01% of the 418 MHz center frequency verses a spec of .25%. The maximum field strength of the magnetic field emissions at 134.2 KHz of the ID Reader was 100 db verses a spec of 105 db since the measurement was performed at 3 meters. (a 40 db/decade correction factor was applied when going from 300 meters to 3 meters, yielding an 80 db increase in the 25 db limit at 300 meters). This is in accordance with Section 15.31F(2) of the Rules. The spurious radiated emissions of the transmitter, which came closest to the limit are as follows, rounded to the nearest db: FREQUENCY (MHz) EMISSION LEVEL (dbμv/meter) Polarization MARGIN(db) TABLES Appendix I 836.06 56 Horizontal -4 1 1672 57 Horizontal -3 1 2090 56 Horizontal -4 1 2508 50 Horizontal -10 1 2926 50 Horizontal -10 1 836.06 48 Vertical -12 2 2090 53 Vertical -7 2 2926 52 Vertical -8 2 For more details, see Appendix I, Tables1-9andGRAPHS1-2. Anegative margin means that the emissions are under the specified limit. All other emissions from Tables1-9,notlisted above, were at least 10 db under the applicable limits. FCC ID: ON2TTREADER01 4 SUMMARY (cont) The Tag Tracker antennas are internal to the unit and not accessible to the user. INFORMATION SUPPLIED TO THE USER The manual contains a cautionary statement required by Section 15.21 of the FCC rules for an intentional radiator." CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved or authorized by the manufacturer may violate the compliance of this equipment to the Class B limits for a digital device and could, thereby, void the users authority to operate the equipment. The label on the outside of the equipment enclosure contains the FCC ID and the following text: FCC ID:ON2TTREADER01 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.
