Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 53 BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Revision 0.4 Dec’ 2015 BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 54 This document covers the Regulatory Compliance information which is part of the BM71 Module datasheet and related documents shared with customers. Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 55 BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information 1.0 ANTENNA 1.1 Antenna Characteristics 1.1.1 CERAMIC CHIP ANTENNA The BM71 module contains an integral ceramic chip antenna. The Figure 1-1 illustrates the antenna performance of the module. FIGURE 1-1: BM71 ANTENNA RADIATION PATTERN Frequency 2442 MHz Max Gain 0.1 dBi Efficiency 42.7% BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 54 APPENDIX A: CERTIFICATION NOTICES BM71 module regulatory approval status: • BT SIG/QDID:74246 • United States/FCC ID: A8TBM71S2 • Canada/IC ID: 12246A-BM71S2 HVIN: BM71BLES1FC2 • Europe/CE: In Progress • Japan/MIC: 005-101150 • Korea/KCC: MSIP-CRM-mcp-BM71BLES1FC2 • Taiwan/NCC No: In Progress A.1 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 or 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 auorized as required by the rules of the ederal Com- munications Commission This device is no and may not be, offered or sale or leasor sold or leased, until auorization is obtained Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 55 BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information A user's manual for the finished product should include the following statement: Additional information on labeling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB Publication 784748 available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) http://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm. A.1.3 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.
