Region Regulatory Support Notes
Narrow Band North
America (“NA2”)
FCC 47 CFG Ch. 1 Part 15
Industrie Canada RSS-210
Complies with all FCC regulations but uses a
narrow frequency range: 917,400 kHz to
927,200 kHz
European Union
(“EU3”)
Revised ETSI EN 302 208
Note: The EU and EU2
regions offered for
other modules are for
legacy applications
using old ETSI
regulations. These
are not supported in
the Nano.
By default EU3 will use four channels. The EU3
region can also be used in a single channel
mode. These two modes of operation are
defined as:
Single Channel Mode
Set by manually setting the frequency hop table
to a single frequency. In this mode the module
will occupy the set channel for up to four sec-
onds, after which it will be quiet for 100msec
before transmitting on the same channel again.
Multi Channel Mode
Set by default or by manually setting more than
one frequency in the hop table. In this mode the
module will occupy one of the configured chan-
nels for up to four seconds, after which it may
switch to another channel and immediately
occupy that channel for up to four seconds. It
will not return to any channel until that channel
has been dormant for 100 msec. This mode
allows for more continuous reading.
Korea (KR2) KCC (2009) The first frequency channel (917,300kHz) of the
KR2 region is derated to a maximum level of
+22 dBm to meet the regulatory requirements.
All other channels operate up to +27dBm. This
has little impact on performance. The reader, by
default, automatically switches off channels
when no tags are found, often in as little as 40
msec.
