Introduction 

The RC1xx0 and RC2x00 RF modules with embedded protocol provide a very compact 
solution for a wide range of applications. The Demonstration Kit is designed to make it easy 
for the user to evaluate the module and develop an application and build prototypes very 
quickly. 
 
The Demonstration Kit includes two Demonstration Boards. The Demonstration Boards 
contain the RC1xx0 or RC2x00 module and associated support circuits. The board can easily 
be operated using a PC terminal emulator. 
 
This User Manual describes how to use the Demonstration Kit and provides detailed 
documentation for the Demonstration Board.  
 
The Demonstration Kit includes what you need to evaluate the RF performance of the 
modules, develop your own application interfacing the modules, and can also be used to build 
a prototype of your application. 
 
Your Demonstration Kit should contain the following items:
