3 Operation Test
It will be updated before 2nd release. Below is just a sample.
Equipments : Gateway (S-Gate), R/C (S-TAG), Jig for power supply
Target DUT : EPD TAG
Figure 6 Operation Test
Test Scenario
①Install Tag on Jig
②Ready to Gateway(S-Gate) and R/C
③wake up Tag with R/C
④Tag start to communicate with Gateway
⑤Tag display the numeric information received from Gateway
⑥Check Tag(EPD display status & MAC address value)
⑦Wake up Tag with R/C
⑧Check Tag(EPD display(blank display))
Criterion (Below both two conditions should be all satisfied)
①Good : You can see ‘Black’ → ‘White’ display
②Compare MAC address with that of label attached to Front or Back plane.

6 Cautions for Treatment
Provisions should be made to protect against any 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 in 0-40 Celsius degree, 20-60% RH environment.
This RF device operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band and can produce radio interference. The device,
therefore, may not be used for applications where safety of human lives is concerned.
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 0℃ to +40℃. Parts and circuits may be damaged if
used or stored under temperature extremes.
The display panel needs extra care when handling.
- Do not apply any impacts on outside since e-Paper display is fragile.
- Continuous exposure to excessive moisture (over 60% RH) or UV makes display lifetime
shortened.
- Ghosting image may be appeared 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 or battery

casing can be separated.
Twisting and bending the product can damage the exterior casing and the internal components.
If this product operates abnormally in eliminating battery vinyl or replacing battery, you should
discharge it by contacting battery terminal (+) and (-).
This product uses 2.4GHz frequency band for wireless communication network. Radio
communications can be limited or affected by other applications which share same frequency band,
such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.
Frequent communications, updates and screen renewals may reduce battery life time.
6.3 FCC
FCC ID : 2AFWN-ST-GM3300N
WARNING : This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to
this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the
instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change
or modification is made.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications, However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
