Supported Regions
The M6e has differing levels of support for operation and use under the laws and
guidelines of several regions. The regional support is shown in the following table.

(EU3) Revised ETSI EN 302 208 By default EU3 will use four channels. 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 seconds, after which it will be quiet for
100ms before transmitting on the same
channel again.
Multi Channel Mode
• Set by leaving the default or manually setting
more than one frequency in the hop table. In
this mode the module will occupy one of the
configured channels for up to four seconds,
after which it may switch to another channel
and immediately occupy that channel for up
to four seconds. This mode allows for
continuous operation.
Korea (KR2) KCC (2009) The first frequency channel (917,300kHz) of the
KR2 region will be derated to +22dBm to meet
the new Korea regulatory requirements. All
other channels operate up to +30dBm. In the
worst case scenario, each time the derated
channel is used it will stay on that channel for
400ms. The fastest it will move to the next chan-
nel, in the case where no tags are found using
that frequency, it will move to the next channel
after 10 empty query rounds, approximately
120ms.
