REGULATORY APPROVAL

This section outlines the regulatory information for the

BM71 module for the following countries:

• United States

• Canada

• Europe

• Japan

• Korea

• Taiwan

A.1.1

UNITED STATES

The BM71 module is in progress to receive Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecom-

munications, Part 15 Subpart C "Intentional Radiators"

modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Mod-

ular Transmitter approval. Modular approval allows the

end user to integrate the BM71 module into a finished

product without obtaining subsequent and separate

FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no

changes or modifications are made to the module cir-

cuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user's

authority to operate the equipment. The end user must

comply with all of the instructions provided by the

Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating

conditions necessary for compliance.

The finished product is required to comply with all appli-

cable FCC equipment authorizations regulations,

requirements and equipment functions not associated

with the transmitter module portion. For example, com-

pliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other

transmitter components within the host product; to

requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Sub-

part B "Unintentional Radiators"), such as digital

devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.;

and to additional authorization requirements for the

non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module

(i.e., Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g.,

transmitter modules may also contain digital logic func-

tions) as appropriate.

A.1.2

LABELING AND USER

INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

The BM71 module has to be labeled with its own FCC

ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the

module is installed inside another device, then the out-

side of the finished product into which the module is

installed must also display a label referring to the

enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording

as follows:

Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:

A8TBM71S2

Contains FCC ID: A8TBM71S2

This device 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

Due to the limited module size (9.0 x 11.5mm) the

FCC Identifier is displayed in the Datasheet only and

cannot be displayed on the module label.

Note: This device has no been au orized as

required by the rules of the ederal Com-

munications Commission This device is

no and may not be, offered or sale or

leas or sold or leased, until au orization

is obtained

RF EXPOSURE

All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF

exposure requirements. KDB 447498 General RF

Exposure Guidance provides guidance in determining

whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities,

operations or devices comply with limits for human

exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by

the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

From the FCC Grant: Output power listed is conducted.

This grant is valid only when the module is sold to OEM

integrators and must be installed by the OEM or OEM

integrators. This transmitter is restricted for use with

the specific antenna(s) tested in this application for

Certification and must not be co-located or operating in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters

within a host device, except in accordance with FCC

multi-transmitter product procedures.

Canada

The BM71 module certification is in progress for use in

Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards

Specification (RSS) RSS-247 and RSS-Gen. Modular

approval permits the installation of a module in a host

device without the need to recertify the device.

LABELING AND USER

INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Sec-

tion 3.1, RSS-Gen, Issue 4, November 2014): The host

device shall be properly labeled to identify the module

within the host device.

The Industry Canada certification label of a module

shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the

host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled

to display the Industry Canada certification number of

the module, preceded by the words "Contains transmit-

ter module", or the word "Contains", or similar wording

expressing the same meaning, as follows:

Due to the limited module size (9.0 x 11.5mm) the IC

identifier is displayed in the Datasheet only and

cannot be displayed on the module label.

User Manual Notice for License-Exempt Radio Appara-

tus (from Section 8.4, RSS-Gen, Issue 4, November

2014): User manuals for license-exempt radio appara-

conspicuous location in the user manual or alterna-

tively on the device or both:

Transmitter Antenna (from Section 8.3, RSS-Gen,

Issue 4, November 2014): User manuals for transmit-

ters shall display the following notice in a conspicuous

location:

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio trans-

mitter may only operate using an antenna of a type

and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the trans-

mitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio

interference to other users, the antenna type and its

gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotrop-

ically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that

necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Can-

ada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec

une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou

inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Can-

radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il

faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que

la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.)

ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établisse-

is labeled with its own technical conformity mark and

certification number as required to conform to the tech-

nical standards regulated by the Ministry of Internal

Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan pursuant

to the Radio Act of Japan.

Integration of this module into a final product does not

require additional radio certification provided installa-

tion instructions are followed and no modifications of

the module are allowed. Additional testing may be

required:

• If the host product is subject to electrical appli-

ance safety (for example, powered from an AC

mains), the host product may require Product

Safety Electrical Appliance and Material (PSE)

testing. The integrator should contact their confor-

mance laboratory to determine if this testing is

required.

Appendix B: Labelling Considerations

BM71 module, due to the module dimension limitation, could not add the certificate ID on module directly, we

would like to apply for your permission to add the certificate ID on the Datasheet and alternatively on the

shipping package instead of on module.

Description

1. BM71 Module dimension

Area A: 1.5X8.5mm

Area B: 7.7X6.1mm

, this is a shielding case with a label for BT address and date code

Area C: 3.5X8.5mm

Area D: 2.1X6.35mm

and 1.4X3.6mm

, the area is not complete and continuous.

Form factor

2. According the description above, due to the dimension limitation, we could not find out an area good to print a

clear certificate ID or logo.

3. We would apply for your kindly permission to allow Microchip to ship the module by the new approach, in

appendix I, to add the certificate ID on the anti-static bag, the out pack of the module tray

4. Appendix B-1 is one of the proposal.

There is an anti-static bag outside the module tray, we suggest adding the certificate ID on the bag, it is very clear for the

custom and government to check the ID, and we will also add the certificate ID information in the module user manual to

avoid any possible confusion by the user.
