Product Description
Figure 1: KM-153103 Koala® Connect Module
Joey® Wi-Fi® + Bluetooth® modules are compact all-in-one standalone modules featuring Wi-Fi WLAN
/ Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy. When used in conjunction with koala®
evm, the Joey® modules provide a stable environment to ease the integration of wireless technologies
into a project. The modules feature Texas Instruments’ WL183xMOD variants with Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth coexistence and STM32F412CG on-board processor to drive the user application in addition
to supporting the wireless protocols. Flexibility of wireless technology is provided with version 4.1
Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy, WLAN and Wi-Fi Direct with IEEE802.11a/b/g/n standards
supported.
Joey® modules will help shorten the development time, reduce development costs and open the door
to new possibilities for wireless device features. Joey® modules may be used stand-alone products
with no additional hardware required; or used in conjunction with other hardware. Additional sensors
can be connected directly to the module via GPIO, ADC, I2C, SPI and UART.

Module Certification Details
KM-153103 Koala® Connect module complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two 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.
Clarinox Technologies declares that the radio equipment type RF module is in compliance with
Directive 2014/53/EU.
The compliance has been verified in the operating frequency band of 2400-2483.5 MHz. Developers
and integrators that incorporate the KM-153103 Module in any end products are responsible for
obtaining applicable regulatory approvals for such end product.
The KM-153103 has been tested in the 2400 MHz-2483.5 MHz ISM frequency band at 3.3 V with a
maximum peak power of 19.7 dBm EIRP across the temperature range –40°C to +85°C and tolerance.
1.2.1.1 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
This module complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure limits. This
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
1.2.1.2 End Product Labelling
This module is designed to comply with the FCC statement, FCC ID: 2AN5P1531. The host system
using this module must display a visible label indicating the following text:
"Contains FCC ID: 2AN5P1531"
Important Notice to OEM Integrators
This module is limited to OEM installation ONLY.
This module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications, according to FCC Part 2.1091(b).
The separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable
configurations with respect to FCC Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations
For FCC Part 15.31 (h) and (k): The host manufacturer is responsible for additional testing to verify
compliance as a composite system. When testing the host device for compliance with Part 15
Subpart B, the host manufacturer is required to show compliance with Part 15 Subpart B while the
transmitter module(s) are installed and operating. The modules should be transmitting and the
evaluation should confirm that the module's intentional emissions are compliant (i.e. fundamental
and out of band emissions). The host manufacturer must verify that there are no additional
unintentional emissions other than what is permitted in Part 15 Subpart B or emissions are
complaint with the transmitter(s) rule(s).
KM-153103 Datasheet

Antenna Installation
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
The ATN016008LCD2442MA1 antenna with -1.41 dBi gain was verified in the conformity testing.
Radiated transmit power must be equal to or lower than that specified in the FCC Grant of
Equipment Authorization for FCC ID: 2AN5P1531. A separate approval is required for all other
antenna type, or higher gain antenna.
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-
location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the
FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be
responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate
FCC authorization.
Manual Information to the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to
install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this
module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in
this manual.
Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm
between the radiator & your body.
