Note 2: This demonstration has been optimized for an operating distance from 0.5 to 1 inch. Being too far from the
reader will put the tag out of range. Being too close to the reader will activate a protection circuit that may make
data transmission unreliable. In actual applications, the range may be optimized for any desired read/write
distance.
