RADIO REGULATIONS

The uPASS Reach reader operates on the 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this
band are not standardized world-wide. Generally the regulations can be divided into
several regions.
Per region a specific frequency band is available. This frequency band is divided into
frequency channels. If local radio regulations require frequency hopping (FHSS),
then the uPASS Reach automatically selects and uses the available channels.

FREQUENCY CHANNEL SELECTION

If no frequency hopping is required, you should select an available frequency
channel manually. This can be realized as described below. Select an available
frequency channel to achieve the best performance and to avoid interference from
other readers or equipment.
Press the UP or DOWN switch once and the display will show a value indicating the
currently selected frequency. Lookup the display value in the table below to find out
what the actual operating frequency is.
When the display is on, press the UP switch to select a higher frequency. Similarly,
press the DOWN switch to select a lower frequency.
Alternatively the UHFTOOL software can be used to setup the frequency channel
selection. See also chapter 7.
