7. FAQ

7.1 Communication range is too short

The communication distance will be affected when obstacle exists.

Data lose rate will be affected by temperature, humidity and co-channel interference.

The ground will absorb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when testing near ground.

Sea water has great ability in absorbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when testing near the sea.

The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal case.

Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the
distance).

The power supply low voltage under room temperature is lower than 2.5V, the lower the voltage, the lower the
transmitting power.

Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.

7.2 Module is easy to damage

Please check the power supply source, ensure it is 2.0V~3.6V, voltage higher than 3.6V will damage the module.

Please check the stability of power source, the voltage cannot fluctuate too much.

Please make sure antistatic measure are taken when installing and using, high frequency devices have electrostatic
susceptibility.

Please ensure the humidity is within limited range, some parts are sensitive to humidity.

Please avoid using modules under too high or too low temperature.

8. Antenna Type

1.1 Antenna recommendation

The antenna plays an important role in the communication process. The inferior antenna often has a great impact on the
communication system. Therefore, we recommend some antennas that support our wireless modules and have excellent performance
and reasonable price.
