Introduction The Ubitag V1.0 is a wireless device intended to be used for the real-time location of objects within buildings. It transmits ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses which are picked up by a network of basestations (Ubisensors) placed inside the building, allowing the 3D position of the tag to be found. The use of UWB technology enables greater positioning accuracy within buildings than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference effects. Applications of the system include healthcare, workplace productivity, security, retail management and manufacturing. This document describes the features and specifications of the Ubitag, important regulatory information concerning its use, and details on how to diagnose potential problems. Information to the User The Ubitag V1.0 is an ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless device certified under FCC Part 15.517. Its use is subject to technical requirements for indoor UWB systems, in particular the stipulation that the devices must only be used indoors. Users should note carefully the following information: ∑ CAUTION: This equipment may only be operated indoors. Operation outdoors is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious penalties. ∑ Ubitags will only operate (i.e. transmit UWB signals) in conjunction with an in-building Ubisensor network, which must be professionally installed. The installed Ubisensor network will be configured to cover only the area inside the building, preventing Ubitags from emitting UWB signals outdoors. Contact your system administrator if you are unsure as to the extent of coverage of the Ubisense In-Building Location System in your building. ∑ 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. Users should also carefully note the following information: ∑ CAUTION: Any changes or modifications made to the Ubitag which are not expressly approved by the Ubisense Limited 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 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.

Features of the Ubitag The diagram below shows several important features of the Ubitag: Ubisense – Ultra-wideband In-Building Location System – Ubitag V1.0
Installation and Operation Instructions Switching the Ubitag on for the first time The Ubitag is supplied with batteries. A paper tab prevents the device from operating and drawing current from the batteries until it is removed by the user. The Ubitag can be switched on for the first time by pulling the paper tab directly away from the body of the Ubitag and clear of the device, as shown in the photograph below. The Ubitag will bleep once and flash its LEDs to indicate correct start-up, and the Ubisense In-Building Location System will then be abl…

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION Ubitag V1.0 FCC IDs SEAUBITAG10-U, SEAUBITAG10-F The Ubitag V1.0 is a wireless device intended to be used for the real-time location of objects within buildings. It transmits ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses which are picked up by a network of basestations (Ubisensors) placed inside the building, allowing the 3D position of the tag to be found. The use of UWB technology enables greater positioning accuracy within buildings than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference effects. Applications of the system include healthcare, workplace productivity, security, retail management and manufacturing. The Ubitag V1.0 is a composite device consisting of an ultra-wideband transmitter (FCC ID SEAUBITAG10-U), a conventional FM radio transceiver operating in the range 908.36-915MHz (FCC ID SEAUBITAG10-F), and associated digital circuitry. It is never the case that both the ultra-wideband transmitter section of the device and the FM radio transceiver section of the device are active simultaneously. Both the ultra-wideband transmitter and the conventional radio transceiver utilise permanently attached antennas that are integral to the device.
