Layout Design Suggestions • General Layout Rules- All Printed Circuit Boards must comply with UL94V0 standard for flammability. Always use RoHS compliant Parts and materials. • Suggestions for Layout: 101. Do not place Power circuit, X’tal, Inductor, etc near RF area.

2. The bigger Antenna clearance area, the better. The Antenna itself needs to stay away from any circuit or component at least 2mm. Antenna clearance area means Top and Bottom both required to be cleared. 3. Do not use metal materials on design where near Antenna area. For example, battery snaps, USB connector, iron case, etc. 4. For RB4000HM-c model (external antenna type), when RF trace meets a turning point, try to make the RF trace as smooth as you can’t use right angle trace. These guidelines are for design reference; real performance still depends on actual design. RB4000 Pad Size (mm) 11

Connecting to Your System NOTE: Do Not Plug in the USB cable and AC power adapter at the same time. Only use one or the other. Plugging in both the USB cable and AC power adapter may damage the USB port on your PC or USB device. Below is a simple example to show how the Radicom Bluetooth modules work. This example demonstrates how the Bluetooth Modules can connect to each other. 1. RB4000MB-SPP-A Initiator setup: Open HyperTerminal and select an available Serial Comport. Set the DTE speed to 115200bps, 8 Data bit, No Parity bit, One Stop bit and No Flow control. 2. Connect one end of the RS232 Null modem cable (DB9 Female to DB9 Female) to the Serial Comport and the other end of the cable to the RB4000MB-SPP-A 3. Apply power using either a USB cable or Optionally provided AC power adapter to RB4000MB-SPP-A. The modules Firmware message should show up on the HyperTerminal screen and the LED on the RB4000MB-SPP-A should be ON. 4. RB4000MB-SPP-B setup: Open HyperTerminal and select an available Serial Comport. Set the DTE speed to 115200bps, 8 Data bit, No Parity bit, One Stop bit and No Flow control. 5. Connect one end of the RS232 Null modem cable (DB9 Female to DB9 Female) to the Serial Comport and the other end of the cable to the RB4000MB-SPP-B. 6. Apply power using either a USB cable or Optionally provided AC power adapter to RB4000MB-SPP-A. The modules Firmware message should show up on the HyperTerminal screen and the LED on the RB4000MB-SPP-B then start blinking. 7. When both Modules are powered-up, they should automatically connect to each other as long as the modules are within acceptable distance, for example, 10m in home or office). 8. The on board LEDs will show the modules Connect Status. Note(s): They further apart the modules are, the longer it may take to connect and the slower the data transfers will be. If the modules do not connect make sure that the firmware displayed reflects that one module contains Initiator firmware and the other module contains Acceptor firmware. For example, the Initiator should display SPP-B XXX and the Acceptor should display SPP-A XXX where XXX is the firmware version. 17Note: When Connected and no data activity, the modules will enter lower power Sniff Mode after 5 to 7 seconds of inactivity. Any transmitted or received data will cause the module to exit Sniff Mode and resume normal operation.
