Overview
The SDiD 121X family of Low Frequency (LF) RFID reader/writers, with optional SD
memory, are in the format of a Secure Digital Input/Output, SDIO card.
The model numbers and configurations of the SDiD121X family include:
1. SDiD1210: SDIO format RFID reader.
2. SDiD1212 (i512MB): SDIO format RFID reader with 512MB of industrial SD
memory for data storage.
3. SDiD1212 (s512MB): SDIO format RFID reader with 512MB of commercial SD
memory for data storage.
The SDiD 121X family of LF RFID reader/writers enable PDAs, cellular phones and
other handheld devices to operate as LF Radio Frequency Identification Readers and
Writers.
The SDiD 121X family of readers incorporate the antenna, RFID transceivers, SD
memory (based on model number), and the SDIO interface and all necessary software
drivers.

Operating Modes: Active and Stand-by Under control of the Host Software
Application
Operating Instructions
1) Insert the SDiD 121X card into the SD card slot of the host device. The integrated
3-color LED on the SDiD 121X will initially be ON for two seconds before
turning OFF.
2) Start the Host Software Application in the host device.
3) Configure the SDiD121X for the desired mode of operation using the Host
Software Application.
4) When the SDiD121X is actively searching for a tag, place the reader into
proximity with the appropriate tag. The tag will be activated by the RF field and
data will be transacted between the reader and the tag according to the tag type.
5) When the SDiD 121X card is in the standby mode, the LED will be OFF and the
SDiD 121X card will not be able to activate tags until the appropriate mode is
selected in the Host Software Application.
