to track this error message if it should occur 
again. If the reader indicates repeated 
ErrorRF2 warning messages then return the 
reader to the factory.

ErrorRF3

Warning message of unexpected 
status read, including status byte, 
from RF module

If the reader indicates a single ErrorRF3 
event and recovers from the error, no
