Caution: This user guide information is only provided to OEM or module installer.
Do not supply to the end user.
1. Introduction:
The ALPS, UGPZ8 with BluetoothTM wireless technology is a radio device that transmits and receives
radio signals in accordance with the spectrum regulations for the 2.4 GHz unlicensed frequency range.
The following table shows a major function.
The UGPZ8 complies with the BluetoothTM specification Version 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
issued by Bluetooth-SIG.
The EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), uses PSK modulation and has two variants: π/4-DQPSK and 8DPSK.
The gross air data rate is 1 Mbps for Basic Rate using GFSK, 2 Mbps for EDR using π/4-DQPSK and
3 Mbps for EDR using 8DPSK.

Bluetooth™ Transceiver Module, model UGPZ8 has fully integrated 2.4GHz radio transceiver with
Class2 power, receiver and frequency-hopping synthesizer.
The frequency range is “2400 – 2483.5MHz” and the channel number is defined from “0” (2402MHz) to
“78” (2480MHz).
Total channel numbers are “79” and the RF channels are spaced 1 MHz.
Then, UGPZ8 has provision of Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) that is used to improve the performance
of physical links in the presence of interference as well as reducing the interference caused by physical links
on other devices in the ISM band. AFH shall only be used during the connection state.
In order to facilitate power management, each section of the radio may be powered up and down separately.

4. Eligibility requirements for regulatory approval:
As a part of regulatory certification, ALPS will provide an approval for certain countries in the form of
modular approval (MA) .
The regulatory approval is required for each country throughout world where the end-user wishes to use
ALPS UGPZ8 into entire end product, if no certification program for the modular approval exists in the country.
The countries that can accept MA include the USA, Canada, certain European countries and others.
The conditions for approval of ALPS UGPZ8 and related information for each country are described below.
ALPS wishes that our customer for end product would contact with us about what module of UGPZ8 has
been certified for each country.
5.1 USA
5.1.1 Compliance statement to FCC
This module complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
5.1.2 RF exposure compliance
This module may be installed into any end product in mobile device applications.
For Mobile Configuration, this module complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65.
This module has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE).
But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20cm and more between the
radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and legs).
5.1.3 Requirements to end product
The following provisions for end product will be required on the FCC regulation, part 15.
(1) Antenna
The UGPZ8 module provides own internal metal antenna.
ALPS wishes that our customer shall use the module without any modifications including antenna.
If customer use a unique antenna, the FCC certification is required for the end product.
(2) Co-location.
This UGPZ8 module must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
(3) Markings
To satisfy FCC exterior labeling requirements, the following text must be placed on the exterior of the
end product.
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: CWTUGPZ8
Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
(4) Caution to user for modification
The following caution is expressed on the user’s instruction manual of the end product.
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
device.

(5) Compliance statement to FCC
The following statement is expressed on the user’s instruction manual of the end product.
This module complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
5.2 Canada
In general, I.C (Industry Canada) follows the FCC in terms of emission levels and other regulatory
requirements.
5.2.1 Compliance statement for IC
This device complies with Industry Canada RSS-210. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
5.2.2 RF exposure compliance
(1) This module may be installed into any end product in mobile device applications.
Because the module only radiates very low power level, it complies with RF exposure requirements.
(2) The installer of this device must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not
emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety
Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
5.2.3 Meaning of certification number
The meaning of the marking of “IC:1788F-UGPZ8” on the UGPZ module means:
“1788F-UGPZ8” is the certification number, and the term “IC’ before the equipment certification number
only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
