16 Chapter 2 Features
RFID reader
Your system includes an integrated 13.56 MHz RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader
that you can use to retrieve information from RFID tags.
RFID tags use radio frequency (RF) transmissions to identify a product, animal, or person.
RFID does not require direct contact or line-of-sight scanning, and can be scanned through
many materials, including clothing. An RFID tag can store much more data than a typical
bar code, and some RFID tags can both transmit and record data. RFID can be used for asset
tracking, identification, process control, health care, and pharmaceutical applications.
The RFID reader supports the following formats:
• ISO/IEC 14443A/B
• ISO/IEC 15693
• ISO/IEC 18000-3
For information about using the RFID reader, see “Using the RFID reader” on page 28.
The system also includes an integrated 13.56MHz high-frequency passive RFID tag that can
be used for identification and short-range asset tracking. The tag is located on the back of
the tablet, below the battery, and under the FCC label.
Smart card reader
Your tablet may include the optional smart card reader located on the back of the tablet,
next to the battery. Using smart card software, this device can read information from and
write information to the smart card when the card is inserted into the reader. The smart card
is an ISO 7816 PC/SC compliant, contact type smart card reader/writer.
For information about using the smart card reader, see “Using the smart card reader
(optional)” on page 30.
Microphones
The system is equipped with two liquid-resistant microphones that you can use to record
audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without the need for an external
microphone.
For information about using the microphones, see “Using the built-in microphones” on
page 31.
