3 Operation Tes t

 Equipments : ESL Tag, Gateway, R/C

S-TAG Datasheet(ST-GR42003N)

 Test Scenario

① Ready to Gateway and R/C
② Wake up Tag with R/C
③ Tag start to communicate with Gateway
④ Tag display the numeric information received from Gateway
⑤ Check Tag(EPD display status & MAC address value)
⑥ Wake up Tag with R/C
⑦ Check Tag(EPD display(blank display))



Criterion (Below both two conditions should be all satisfied)

① Good :You can see ‘Black’ →‘White’ display
② Compare 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 prod uct should be i nstalled within 3 months from the date of arrival in

the logistics hub. Recommended storage condition is in 0-40 Celsius degree, 35-70% 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 de vice in the vicinity of other electronic devices and applia nces.
Most electronic devices and appliances use electrom ag netic wa ves. Ele ctroma gnet ic waves e mitte d 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 ma y 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

lifetimeshortened.

- 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 n ear heat-producing kitche n 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 productor 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, e tc.

 Frequent communications, updates and screen renew als may reduce battery life time.

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
 ※ Note : If not authorized person, it will not give any warranty.
(When need to replace the battery. Please contact authorized person and get instructions.)

Instructions

- Risk of short circuit if battery is incorrectly installed/stored.
