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. RF exposure statement This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and any part of your body. 6 Safety Per FCC KDB 784748, Section A.8: To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device and its antenna must operate with a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons. Please maintain at least a 20 cm spacing from the antenna and device. PLT005 Production versions of the tag come in a sealed case with the batteries installed. They are already powered on and ready for installation. The tags pass through a quality assurance phase to ensure they are fit for purpose. This includes a range test to ensure the tag performs well at a distance. Operating Instructions Please review safety information before installation to avoid injury to yourself or others. The tag is already powered on and ready to install. Simply insert the tag into the rail on the pallet. Ensure that the tag is sitting flush with the pallet rail. It will make an audible click when installed correctly. Once it has been installed, assign the tag into the CORE system. Images are indicative only, actual product may vary 7 Installation: 1. Insert the tag into the rail on the pallet. 2. Ensure it sits flush against the rail and clicks into place. 3. Once installed, assign the tag to the Descartes IoT system for tracking.
