4.2.2 Mounting Process
Although u-blox devices will withstand two re-flow soldering processes (T < 250°C) we strongly
max
recommend the modules not being subjected to more than one soldering process after being shipped
from u-blox thus the modules are populated on the host product in the final solder processing step.
The PCB in our modules is UL recognized ZPMV2 min. 130 °C flame class V-0 with ENIG coated
solder lands.
The modules are produced in a lead-free process with a lead-free soldering paste.
It is recommended that the customers make their own electrical, climate, stress and vibration
tests on the final assembled product to secure that the manufacturing process hasn't damaged
or affected the module in any way.
The modules are delivered in ESD bags (for small quantities) or tape-on-reel
Modules delivered on tape-on-reel are packaged in sealed drypack" bags, MSL-3
Modules delivered in ESD bag are not in a sealed drypack
The device recommended maximum re-flow temperature is 245°C for 10 sec.
The device absolute maximum re-flow temperature is 250°C for 3 sec.

6 Guidelines for Efficient and Safe Use
6.1 General
Read this information before using your ODIN-W161 module.
For any exceptions, due to national requirements or limitations, when using your WLAN module,
please contact u-blox Malmö AB.
6.2 Product Care
Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture.
Do not expose you product to extreme hot or cold temperature.
Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, open flames, etc.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product since rough treatment could damage your

The cooling of the end product shall not negatively be influenced by the installation of the
module when the module is installed.
6.3 Radio Frequency Exposure
The ODIN-W161 WLAN module contains a small radio transmitter and receiver.
During communication with other WLAN products the ODIN-W161 module transmits and receives
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2412 - 2462 MHz,
5180 - 5240 MHz, 5260 - 5320 MHz, and 5500 - 5700 MHz.

-Page of 20 21
The output power of the radio transmitter is very low.
When using the module, you will be exposed to some of the transmitted RF energy. This exposure is
well below the prescribed limits in all national and international RF safety standards and regulations.
6.4 Electronic Equipment
Most modern electronic equipment, for example, in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment is not. Therefore:
This equipment emits RF energy. Please insure that all medical devices used in proximity to
this device meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
6.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your electronic device before entering an area with potentially explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fueling areas, such as petrol station, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
6.6 Safety Compliance
