Overview of the Simblee™ RFD77101 1.1 Introduction The Simblee RFD77101 is a high performance, professional grade BLE radio transceiver with a built-in ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller that can be programmed using the simple-to-use Arduino IDE using Simblee extensions. Simblee is IoT for connecting Everyone and Everything (IoT4EE). It incorporates Mobile, BLE, Mesh, Cloud and other forms of wireless connectivity. Simblee is high-quality, cutting-edge and performance focused. Using the Simblee mobile browser on a phone or tablet, anyone can interact with Simblee enabled devices instantly without needing to download additional apps for each device. In just hours you can create functional IoT applications using the Simblee development environment. Developers can start developing mobile apps without having to first learn Xcode or Android SDKs. 1.2 Basic Operation Simblee is programmed using the Arduino IDE. Code is loaded using the onchip UART bootloader or via OTA (over the air) programming.

Industry Canada does not specify the size of the label or the lettering thereon. The only requirement is that the text be legible. Relating to Model Number R71 (RFD Part Number: RFD77101) INSTRUCTION TO THE USER (if device DOES NOT contain a digital device) The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. INSTRUCTION TO THE USER (if device contains a digital device) 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 or more 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. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. FCC LABEL Relating to Model Number R71 (RFD Part Number: RFD77101) The unit should have a permanently attached label in a conspicuous location with the following statement: Contains FCC ID: UYI71 (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTES: 1. The FCC does not specify the size of the label or the lettering thereon. The only requirement is that the text be legible. 2. If the entire label can not be placed on the unit due to space constraint, only FCC ID may be displayed on the unit. In such cases, the compliance statement will have to be included in the "user’s manual". NOTE: Device must be smaller than a man’s palm. ** If the unit also interfaces with phone line, it requires additional information on the label - refer to part 68 information ** Important: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 8.5 Revision History Revision No. Date Notes 0.2 09.09.2015 Compliance info 0.11 07.22.2015 Grammatical correction 0.1 03.27.2015 Initial release
