6 Safety requirements

When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if

instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.

The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interference from cellular

terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the

device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the

pacemaker, while it is on.

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of

wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions

may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are

near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in

potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur

if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off

the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a

holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.

Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.

IMPORTANT!

Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all

times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example

emergency calls.

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate

cellular signal strength.

Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing

etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.

Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.

Bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels of noise can cause physical damage to users! With regard to acoustic shock, the cellular

application must be designed to avoid unintentional increase of amplification, e.g. for a highly sensitive earpiece. A protection circuit

should be implemented in the cellular application.

If a power supply unit is used to supply the device it must meet the demands placed on SELV circuits in accordance with EN60950. The

maximum permissible connection length between the device and the supply source should not exceed 3m.

According to the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy, an antenna connected to the SMA jack of the device should be

placed at least 20cm away from human bodies.

10.4 USB interface specification

The MC89 JAVA™ Terminal supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480 Mbits/s) device interface that is FULL

Speed (12 Kbits/s) compliant. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as a command and data

interface and for downloading firmware. A USB host supports at least 6 “message Pipes” (See [13]

Related documents) to work with the MC Profi Terminal USB interface. The USB I/O – pins are

capable of driving the signal at min 3.0 V. They are 5V I/O compliant.

Note: In general the terminal can not be powered by the USB interface (see 7.4.1). Please use an

external power supply.

11 Power supplies

If you do not use the special power supply for the terminal, an alternative power supply can be used.

Please verify the conditions and the necessary parameters. A voltage of 12V DC is recommended. The

minimum output current should be 1.2 Ampere or more. The GSM burst transmissions are causing

pulse currents at the power supply input. The power supply has to be protected against short circuit.

Additional low-ESR Capacitors could be necessary.

12 Over temperature

Data transmission for a long time can cause higher temperature of the GSM/GPRS/UMTS engine.

If the on board temperature rises above the limited rating, the engine switches off automatically.

Do not cover the terminal. Take care for suitable ambient temperature. Use only recommended

antennas use power supplies with an optimal Output voltage (12 VDC and 15 VDC)

13 Regulatory and type approval information

13.1 Directives and standards

The GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS engine has been approved to comply with the directives and standards

listed in [2], [6], [8] “Related documents”. It is the responsibility of the application manufacturer to

ensure compliance of the final product with all provisions of the application directives and standards

as well as with the technical specifications provided in

[1] “Related documents”.

13.2 SAR requirements specific to portable devices

The mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM module

must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This

requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable GSM/GPRS/UMTS applications to be

evaluated and approved for compliance with national and / or international regulations.

14.4 Always-on

The microcontroller can switch on the GSM module by an always-on function. Per default the always-

on function is switched off.

If you are using the original power supply from MC Technologies, the Ignition signal is "ON" (see chapter 9.1,

bridge between Pin1 and Pin 4), so that the terminal will always be switched "ON", independent of the

always-on settings.


User Manual


By setting the always-on function to “On”, the module will always be switched on automatically,

even if the GSM module was switched off by a software command. The always-on function can be

controlled by I2C commands. For a test use the following AT commands:

14.5 Watchdog

The microcontroller works as a watchdog for the Java application. The Java application has to trigger

the microcontroller via the output GPIO8 of the BGS5/EHS6 or EHS8 module with a falling or rising

edge or a I2C command to the controller. The WD interval has to be set in seconds. In case of a

timeout, the microcontroller will switch off (power off) the module and the java application can start

again. Per default the watchdog is switched off. The watchdog function can be controlled by I2C

commands. For a test use the following AT commands:



WD interval 30s (0x1E) <aD808010000001E> A+

WD interval 600s (0x0258) <aD8080100000258> A+

WD interval 5000s (0x1388) <aD8080100001388> A+

Switch off watchdog (default) <aD8080100000000> A+

Close I2C # OK

14.6 Auto-reset

The microcontroller can switch off and on the BGS5/EHS6 or EHS8 module beside its watchdog

functionality in a defined time period. The minimum value is 3600. In case of setting a value > 3600s,

the microcontroller will reset the module after > 3600s and the java application will start again.

In case of setting a value < 3600s, the last auto-reset setting will not be changed. Per default the

auto-reset is switched off. The auto-reset function can be controlled by I2C commands. For a test use

the following AT commands:



Auto-reset interval e.g. 86400s (0x015180) ≙ 24h <aD8080600015180> A+
