Instruction The field command describes which command should be run. This is described
in chapter 5.
Status: This byte is always 0x00 for commands from the host to the RFIE reader. The
status is used exclusively as a return value for the reader and indexes the status of the
currently executed commands.
Data Length: The "Data length" indicates how much payload data is transferred after this
byte.
Data: The payload data to evaluate.
Checksum: The checksum is used to verify the transferred data. More information can be
found in chapter 4.4.

7.9.10 LOCK BLOCK – 0x06
With the Lock Block command, the selected sectors are locked and are then read only.
To set a sector or multiple sectors to Read Only, the following input is required:
Start sector: Start from this sector (sector index)
Sectors: The number of sectors to lock beginning with the start sector
Example: Start" 0x06 0x00 0x00 0x00 (Sector 6 is start sector)
Sectors: 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 (starting from sector 6, two sec-
tors should be locked.)
Result: After successfully executing the command, the sectors 06 and 07 are now
read only.

10.1 FCC Statement
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.
Section 15.21 Information to user
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
Section 15.105 (b)
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 turn-
ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
