These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 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 instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 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. There are no user-serviceable internal parts. Changes or modifications not expressly performed by the manufacturer will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may void the user’s legal authority to operate the equipment. FCC PRODUCT LABEL INFORMATION This device complies with FCC Part 15. 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.

By allowing many types of input devices, this system provides users the ability to customize according their needs and is an affordable alternative to purchasing an integrated RF system. The M6200/M6300 RF Host is used as a companion to the M6000, receiving the RF data and converting it into useable IBM compatible PC keyboard data. For an AT or PS/2 PC keyboard interface, the Model 6200 RF Host (M6200) is used. For an USB keyboard interface, the Model 6300 USB RF Host (M6300) is used. The M6200/M6300 RF Host also features a barcode scanner interface, allowing it to function locally as a decoder for laser, CCD, and wand devices, in addition to its normal function of receiving and converting RF data. The M6200/M6300 RF Host can be custom configured using the M6000/M6200/M6300 Setup Menu Sheet to allow multiple RF Hosts, as well as, other standard options that allow the equipment to be tailor-fitted for your individual data collection application. Reliability, ease of use, and affordability make American Microsystems’ M6000 RF Barcode Reader System an excellent choice for wireless barcode data collection. FEATURES • Expandable: Allows ten (10) M6000 RF Portables per RF Host, by setting the Portable ID. The total system allows up to eight (8) RF Hosts to be used, by setting the Host ID. • Reader automatically recognizes and reads the following barcode types: -Code 39 -Codabar -Extended Code 39 (full ASCII) -Code 128 -Interleaved 2 of 5 -Code 93 -UPC-A, UPC-E -Code 11 -EAN-8, EAN-13 -MSI/Plessey -UPC & EAN supplements (2 and 5 character) • Supports any low cost 5 Volt undecoded laser, CCD, or wand devices. 4 SETUP INSTRUCTIONS M6200 RF Host: AT and PS/2 Keyboard Connection Step 1: Turn OFF power to the computer. Step 2: Unplug the keyboard connector from the back of the computer. Note the style of the connector. If the connector is 1/2” in diameter and has five (5) pins in a semicircle configuration, then the connector is AT style. If the connector is 3/8” in diameter, then it is the PS/2 style. The keyboard will be one of these two styles. The two supplied AT to PS/2 converters can be used to match the style of your keyboard. Step 3: Locate the supplied “wedge” cable. This cable is black, and has a male DB9 connector at one end and on the other end has a keyboard receptacle (to plug in your keyboard) and a keyboard plug (to plug into your computer). Step 4: The next step is to connect the “wedge” cable to the M6200’s keyboard interface, the female DB9 connector, and then secure it using the two finger screws. Step 5: Plug the keyboard into the keyboard receptacle of the “wedge” cable. Use the supplied AT to PS/2 converter, if needed, to match your style of keyboard. A keyboard must be used with the M6200 for the “wedge” interface to function. Step 6: Plug the keyboard plug of the “wedge” cable into the keyboard port of the computer. Use the supplied AT to PS/2 converter, if ne…

American Microsystems, Ltd. 2190 Regal Parkway Euless, TX 76040 (817) 571-9015 M6200 Product Operation: American Microsystems’ M6200 is the host receiver for the companion M6000 wireless barcode decoder. This system provides a means of wireless transmission of barcode data and then of receiving this data from the M6200 host as simulated keyboard keystrokes (“wedge”) to an IBM compatible PC. The intended uses for this product include point-of-sale and inventory applications in a business or industrial environment. The M6200 consists an Atmel ATMega103 microcontroller operating at 4 MHz, a voltage regulator for RF power, an interface for connecting an undecoded barcode reading device (e.g. laser, wand, or CCD), an IBM PC compatible keyboard wedge interface, and finally of an RF Monolithics TR1000 radio frequency transceiver with a printed circuit board (PCB) based antenna.

(AMS), requests that the Schematic exhibit of the application for FCC ID: PGAM6200 be withheld from routine availability for public inspection pursuant to Section 0.459 of the Commissions Rules and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Exemption 4, 5 U.S.C. 552 (b) (4). These particular exhibits consist of “trade secrets (or) commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential” 5 U.S.C 552 (b) (4), and is therefore entitled to protection from disclosure under the FOIA. The documents in question contain trade secrets: detailed technical descriptions, specifications, and schematics for a product offered for sale. This proprietary information would give AMS’s competitors an unearned competitive advantage. The documents contain “commercial information” within the scope of FOIA exemption 4. This information is the product of AMS’s investment of money, personnel, and other resources. The result of the investment is a fairly earned position in the marketplace. Premature release of the information threatens substantial and unwarranted harm to AMS’s competitive position. For these reasons, AMS has taken pains to keep this technical information confidential and intends to continue doing so. AMS customarily withholds rights to this information, granting access only to those who have a particular approved need for the information. AMS grants the Commission their needed access to these documents, but respectfully asks that the information be kept confidential. The filing fee that is required for this confidentiality request is included in the check that accompanies this application. If there are any questions about this request, please contact me. Thank you. Respectfully submitted, Andrew Perkins
