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.
Supported Regions

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
channel, 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.
