RMBLE-M5 Manual Revision 0
1 Overview
RMBLE-M5 is a highly-integrated Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) module, which offers a complete solu-
tion containing all hardware features necessary for development of wireless application.
Key Features:
Ultra compact size (18.8 X 13.5 mm)
Embedded 512 Kb EEPROM
I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces
Low power consumption
Embedded antenna design
RoHS compliant, certified lead-and halogen-free
BT4.1 Compliant
RMBLE-M5 uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). The trans-
mitted data are divided into packets and each packet is transmitted on one of the 40 channels, chan-
nel spacing 2 MHz. The first channel starts at 2402 MHz and continues up to 2480 MHz. RMBLE-M5
can coexist with DSSS based Wi-Fi very well due to different transmit protocol.
RMBLE-M5 offers superios radio performance, based on Broadcom BCM20737S.

transmitters when necessary or that colocation of other transmitters will be according to applicable
KDB guidelines including those for RF exposure
-The final system integrator must ensure there is no instruction provided in the user manual or cus-
tomer documentation indicating how to install or remove the transmitter
- Appropriate labels must be affixed to the product that complies with applicable regulations in all re-
spects. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement: “Contains FCC ID:
2AISERMBLEM5 and/or IC: 21613-RMBLEM5”.
- A user’s manual or instruction manual must be included with the product that contains the text as
required by applicable law shall be provided to OEM integrators.
- RF Exposure or EMC test might need to be evaluated against the host again.
5.1 USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
INFORMATION TO USER:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 tele-
vision reception, which can be determined by tuning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
-Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
-Connect the equipment to outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm
must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. This device must not be col-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

RMBLE-M5 Manual Revision 0
Cet appareil est conforme avec Industrie Canada exempts de licence standard RSS (s). L‘utilisation
de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouil-
lage et (2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu,
même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
Caution:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce poten-
tial radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful com-
munication.
En vertu de la réglementation de l'industrie du Canada, cet émetteur de radio ne peuvent fonctionner
en utilisant une antenne d'un type et maximum (ou moins) Gain approuvé pour l'émetteur par Indus-
trie Canada. pour réduire risque d'interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain
doivent être choisis de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas
ce qui est nécessaire pour la réussite de communication.
