Regional regulatory agency approval may be required to operate BLE-M throughout the world. For purposes of ease of integration, time to market, and product surety, Centrak submitted BLE-M to relevant agencies and obtained regulatory approvals for specific countries. BLE-M was approved under the “Modular Approval (MA) Grant”. This certification represents a significant cost savings to the OEM. The radio certification portion of this grant is transferable to Digital Electronic Device manufacturers given adherence to specific implementation criteria noted herein. Any modification of the BLE-M will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Any alteration or deviation from the documented installation and/or use of the BLE-M will void the MA Grant as it applies to the end-product. This module is to be installed only in mobile or fixed applications and please add a reference to part 2.1091(b) for a definition of mobile and fixed devices. Note, that separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations. In the event the Digital Electronic Device manufacturer alters the herein described and approved installation of the BLE-M, the end-product may require a complete battery of regulatory agency certification test Digital Electronic Device manufacturer may be required to submit to a complete battery of tests, depending on the requirements noted in the region they wish to sell their product. The MA Grant provides that Digital Electronic Device manufacturers who incorporate the BLE-M Module as tested and approved, and can be relieved from having to perform the Radio Regulatory certification portion of the respective agency certification. The MA Grant is valid only in countries that recognize the MA Grant certification process. Countries currently accepting the MA Grant include; the USA, Canada, and many European countries as noted in the General User Guide Requirements Section of this document. Terms and conditions of regulatory approval for these countries are also described herein. However, this “grandfathered” radio certification does not relieve the Digital Electronic Device manufacturers from submitting their device for digital emissions certifications. Electronic device manufacturers may disregard the requirements of this section provided they accept full responsibility for regulatory type-approval of the electronic device with an integrated BLE-M wireless module.

No modification to the module including the circuitry is permitted 2. The design criteria including antenna, interconnects and transmission line 3. Testing of the final device configuration for Digital Emissions Compliance The BLE-M may not be altered or modified in any way by the OEM or other integrator(s). Additionally, no component(s) may be added which change the radio frequency (RF) characteristics. These include unintentional or spurious emissions, immunity, ESD characteristics, or other items commonly associated with RF devices. This includes all components; passive and active (such as RF filters, RF amplifiers, RF switches, etc). Additionally, no RF components may be placed between the RF output of the BLE-M and the antenna. OEM/Integrator shall include instructions or statements in the host user’s manual that are required by Part 15.19 and 15.21. Antennae The antenna is integrated in the module and has been qualified and approved for use under the Modular Approval certification. This antenna is designed to be compatible with the RF impedance and frequency range of the BLE-M. This antenna may not be modified or altered in any way from the original design as represented by the manufacturer. The antenna selected have been specifically tested with the BLE-M, and it is certified through the regulatory agencies in the US, Canada, and European Union for authorized use. Use of an altered antenna in a platform other than the antenna selected by Centrak voids the MA grant for that platform. Emissions Compliance Testing Notwithstanding the Modular Approval for the Radio Device with associated antenna, the end product configuration must meet digital emissions compliance and must be tested in accordance with FCC Part 15 requirements confirming radiated emissions are within specified limits. Applicable sections include:

The results of these emissions tests are not required to be submitted to the FCC or Centrak, but should be kept on file by the OEM. Co-location of Additional Transmitters Digital Electronic Devices manufacturers using this MA grant should refer to Appendix B (FCC Grant #) for end-products using two or more co-located RF transmitters. This grant states: “This modular transmitter is approved for use in Digital Electronic Devices and may operate in conjunction with other mobile and portable transmitters in the same device; provided, the other mobile and portable transmitters have satisfied the appropriate RF exposure requirements contained in the FCC rules. The grantee must also provide Digital Electronic Device integrators, or end users if marketed directly to end users, with installation and operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure requirements. The Grantee must inform second manufacturers/installers that in order for this module to be operated in any configuration other than that permitted in the preceding sentences, a separate FCC equipment authorization must be obtained for each device into which this module is installed.“ This modular approval is granted provided Digital Electronic Devices manufacturers assume responsibility for ensuring that other transmitters operating in conjunction with the BLE-M comply with RF exposure requirements associated with their use. The use of one or more additional RF transmitters will require review by the FCC and may require end-product re- certification, including the BLE-M to ensure emissions compliance and RF safety. It is the sole responsibility of the Digital Electronic Device manufacturer to obtain end-product regulatory compliance for configurations including two or more RF transmitters. Power This module is approved for battery or AC line operated devices. The module operation voltage can range from 1.8-3.6 volts. Product Labeling Requirements FCC product labeling requirements stipulate an FCC label, including specific text, be placed on the device containing the BLE-M module. The product label must include the following text and must be affixed to the exterior of the OEM’s product. The text should be located beneath the FCC compliance logo. “Module FCC ID:ST2-BLEM” 

Centrak maintains responsibility for conformance of the BLE-M MOdule, the interconnect, and the antenna, as the manufacturer. The R&TTE directive maintains that first level compliance be reviewed by a “Notified Body” prior to general product marketing. This is not mandatory, but reduces the risk of the product being challenged for non-compliance. Although not specifically stated in the R&TTE Directive, corrections of non-compliance issues are the responsibility of the end product manufacturer. Design Criteria for Modular Approval General Conditions The following conditions must be strictly adhered to for modular approval: 1.

The module is certified by the regulatory authorities in the USA and Canada and complies with the applicable essential requirements of the Radio & Telecommunication Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive in the EU. The module can thus be incorporated into products sold with little or no additional testing of the module itself. The end product must meet the appropriate technical requirements that apply to that product type but re-certification of the radio module is not required in the USA and Canada. In the EU, the integrator is responsible for evaluating their product type per the essential performance requirements of the R&TTE directive (except those associated with the module), declaring compliance and then notifying the member states prior to marketing the product (because the module uses a frequency band that is not harmonized in the EU). It is the responsibility of the module integrator to obtain the necessary approvals to sell products incorporating this module in other countries outside of North America and the EU. The report of measurements performed on the module in compliance with the FCC rules and EN standards can be used in these submittals (as the requirements in many other markets around the world are based in part or in whole on the standards prevalent in North America and the EU)
