Functionality of the Micro
49
The regional functionality is set using the MercuryAPI. Setting the region of operation
configures the regional default settings including:
with the appropriate table for the selected region.
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.

called
PRC2.
SRRC, MII
The PRC specifications limits channels 920 to
920.5MHz and 924.5 to 925.0MHz to transmit-
ting at 100mW or below. The default hop table
uses only the center channels which allow 2W
ERP, 1W conducted, power output. If the hop
table is modified to use the outer, lower power
channels the RF level will be limited to the outer
channels limit, 100mW or +20dBm

Japan MIC “36dBm EIRP
blanket license radio station
with LBT”
Supports operation from 916.8Mhz to
920.8MHz. The existing Japan region code /
reader/region/id = JP should be used for this
new frequency band.
Supports LBT.
Open Region
No regulatory compliance
enforced
Allows the module to be manually configured
within the full capabilities supported by the hard-
ware, see
Regional Frequency Quantization
table. No regulatory limits, including: frequency
range, channel spacing and transmit power lim-
its, are enforced. The Open Region should be
used with caution.
