Notes  All unused pins should be left floating; do not ground.  All GND pins must be well grounded.  The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace routings, or metal for 6 mm from the module antenna position, in all directions.    Traces should not be routed underneath the module.    8  Reflow soldering  The SPBTLE-RF is a high temperature strength surface mount Bluetooth® module supplied on a 11 pin, 4-layer PCB. The final assembly recommended reflow profiles are indicated here below. Soldering phase has to be executed with care: in order to avoid undesired melting phenomenon, particular attention has to be taken on the set up of the peak temperature.  Here following some suggestions for the temperature profile based on IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C, July 2004 recommendations.  Table 4.

SPBTLE-RF   Rev 1.0  P a g e  | 11      11   Traceability  Each module is univocally identified by serial number stored in a 2D data matrix laser marked on the bottom side of the module itself.  The serial number has the following format:  WW YY D FF NNN  where  WW = week YY = year D = product ID family FF = production panel coordinate identification NNN = progressive serial number.  Each module bulk is identified by a bulk ID.  BULK ID and module 2D data matrix are linked by a reciprocal traceability link. The module 2D data matrix traces the lot number of any raw material used.
SPBTLE-RF  P a g e  | 12 Rev 0.1    12    Regulatory compliance 12.1        FCC certification This module has been tested and found to comply with the FCC part 15 rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in approved  installations.  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  may  not  occur  in  a  particular installation. 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. Modifications  or  changes  to  this  equipment  not  expressly  approved  by STMicroelectronics may render void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Modular approval FCC ID: S9NSPBTLERF In accordance with FCC part 15, the SPBTLE-RF is listed as a modular transmitter device. This module is evaluated for stand-alone use only.   Finished products incorporating multiple transmitters must comply with colocation and RF exposure requirements in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.    Collocated transmitters operating in portable RF Exposure conditions (e.g. <20cm from persons including but not limited to body worn and hand held devices) may require separate approval.                 Labeling instructions When integrating the SPBTLE-RF into the final product, the OEM must ensure that the FCC labeling requirements are satisfied. A statement must be included on the exterior of the final product which indicates the product includes a certified module. The label should state the following (or similar wording that conveys the same meaning): Contains FCC ID: S9NSPBTLERF  OR   This product contains FCC ID: S9NSPBTLERF  The OEM must include the following statements on the exterior of the final product unless the product is too small (e.g. less than 4 x 4 inches): 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 any interference that may cause undesired operation.
SPBTLE-RF   Rev 1.0  P a g e  | 13                    Product manual instructions This section applies to OEM final products containing the SPBTLE-RF module, subject to FCC compliance. The final product manual must contain the following statement (or a similar statement that conveys the same meaning): WARNING:    Changes  or  modifications  not  expressly  approved  by  the  party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.   (Part. 15.21) In the case where an OEM seeks Class B (residential) limits for the final product, the following statement must be included in the final product manual: NOTE: 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 the case where an OEM seeks the lesser category of a Class A digital device for the final product, the following statement must be included in the final product manual: NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide  reasonable  protection  against  harmful  interference  when  the  equipment  is operated  in  a  commercial  environment.  This  equipment  generates,  uses,  and  can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction  manual,  may  cause  harmful  interference  to  radio  communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense.
