Page 7: Chapter 1 - Agency Approvals
Agency Approvals Label Locations Optimus 5900 RFID mobile computers meet or exceed the requirements of all applicable standards organizations for safe operation. However, as with any electrical equipment, the best way to ensure safe operation is to operate them according to the agency guidelines that follow. Read these guidelines carefully before using your mobile computer. - Page 8 • 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. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Page 49: Chapter 7 - Communication
Optimus 5900 RFID terminal. Optimus 5900 RFID terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just need to connect the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal to the host workstation (via Optimus 5900 RFID peripheral) to initiate communication. - Page 50 For USB communication, check Allow USB connections. Setting Up the Optimus 5900 RFID Terminal The Optimus 5900 RFID terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box. To verify and/or change the default setting, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > PC Connection.
- Page 51 Communicating with the Optimus 5900 RFID Terminal After setting up both the workstation and the terminal, ActiveSync connection should be automatic. 1. Connect the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal to a communication peripheral, such as the Optimus 5900 RFID eBase. 2. The Optimus 5900 RFID terminal automatically opens ActiveSync to establish a connection.
