1 General Description
S-Label product is part of SoluM S-Label (Electronic Shelf Label) System, also consisting of S-
Label Gateway (S-Gate), and Remote Controller (S-RC). The S-Label System electronically displays
price, product, and promotion information on S-Labels, which has been traditionally printed or written
on paper in places such as retail markets.
S-Label wirelessly receives data from S-Gate and updates the display with the new information
provided.
S-Label is based on IEEE standard 802.15.4 for low power wireless communication applications.
It consists of RF transceiver, RF circuitry and ARM Cortex M3 MCU offering IEEE 802.15.4 based
network protocol, and MAC protocol and other peripheral devices.

handling. The purchaser assumes any responsibility for damage to the product caused by improper
handling.
It is highly recommended that the product should be installed within 3 months from the date of
arrival in the logistics hub. Recommended storage condition is -20~40 Celsius degree, 35-60% RH
environment.
6.1 Usage Environment
Take extra cautions when using this RF device in the vicinity of other electronic devices and
appliances. Most electronic devices and appliances use electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves
emitted by this RF device can affect other electronic devices and appliances.
If using the device in an explosion hazard area, follow all safety regulations, instructions, and
signals.
6.2 Storage and Use
Moisture and liquids can damage internal parts and circuit boards if allowed to enter into the
device itself.
Do not place or store the product on a sloped surface. The product may slide and fall off the
surface and damaged.
Use the product in temperatures ranging from 5℃ to +40℃. Parts and circuits may be
damaged if operating or stored in extreme temperature.
The display panel needs extra care when handling.
- Do not apply any impacts on the e-Paper display as it is fragile.
- Continuous exposure to excessive moisture (over 60% RH) or UV shortens display lifetime.
- Ghosting image may appear in temperature conditions of less than 15 Celsius degree.
Avoid areas with strong magnetism or subject to magnetism.
Contact between the device and a magnetic object can lead to malfunctions.
Do not place the product near heat-producing kitchen appliances like a stove or a microwave or
in the vicinity of highly pressurized containers.
External impact to the product, such as from being dropped, can damage the product.
Twisting and bending the product can damage the exterior casing and the internal components.
If this product operates abnormally while removing battery or replacing battery, the product

should be discharged by contacting the battery terminals (+) and (-) in the product.
This product uses 2.4GHz frequency band for wireless communication network. Radio
communications can be limited or affected by other applications that share the same frequency
band, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.
Frequent communications, updates and screen renewals may reduce battery life time.
Low temperature environments may reduce battery life.
6.3 Battery Replacement
Audience
- Authorized persons with the following knowledge are allowed to replace the battery:
Battery / Electronic assemblies like circuit board / Compliance of the instruction
