To attain better SDIO host compatibility, the following power-on sequence is Recommended. FN-LINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Figure 3. SDIO Interface Power-On Sequence SDIO Interface Power-On Sequence Symbol Description T33ramp Toff T33ramp T12ramp TPOR Tnon_rdy 3.3V Power Pre-Charge Ramp Up Duration Before Formal Power Up. We recommend that a 3.3V power-on and then power-off sequence is executed by the host controller before the formal power on sequence. This procedure can eliminate host card detection issues when power ramp up duration is too long, or when a system warm reboot fails. The duration 3.3V is cut off before formal power up. The 3.3V main power ramp up duration. The internal 1.2V ramp up duration. The duration from when the power-on reset releases and the power management unit executes power on tasks. A power on reset will detect both 3.3V and 1.2V power ramp up after a predetermined duration. SDIO Not Ready Duration. In this state, the RTL8723BS-VD may respond to commands without the ready bit being set. After the ready bit is set, the host will initiate complete card detection procedure. We recommend that the card detection procedures are divided into two phases: A 3.3V power pre-charge phase and a formal power-up phase. During the 3.3V power pre-charge phase, the power ramp up duration is not limited. The 3.3V power is cut off and is turned on after the Toff period. The ramp up time is specified in the T33ramp duration. After main 3.3V ramp up and 1.2V ramp up, the power management unit is enabled by the power ready detection circuit. The power management unit enables the SDIO block. eFUSE is then autoloaded to SDIO circuits during the Tnon_rdy duration. After the autoload has completed, the SDIO sets the ready bit. After CMD5/5/3/7 procedures, card detection is executed. When the driver has loaded, normal CMD52 and CMD53 are used. http://www.fn-link.com Page9/17

Package 6.1 Reel Packaging 2000pcs/reel http://www.fn-link.com Page15/17 FN-LINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED FCC Statement:

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. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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. WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:

The final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following "Contains TX FCC ID:

2AATL-F23BDSM43". If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required to be available in the users manual: 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. RF Exposure This device has been evaluated and shown compliant with the FCC RF Exposure limits under fixed exposure conditions (antennas are greater than 20cm from a person's body) when installed in certain specific OEM configurations. This modular complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Due to missing shielding the module is strictly limited to integration by the Grantee himself or his dedicated OEM integrator under control of the Grantee. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. http://www.fn-link.com Page16/17 FN-LINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED IMPORTANT NOTE:

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

(1) According to FCC Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.212, the radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own shielding. However, due to there is no shielding for this WIFI/BT module, this module is granted as a Limited Modular Approval.

(2) This module has been designed to operate with a Integral Chip antenna having a maximum gain of 1.5dBi. Only this type of antenna may be used.

(3) Integration is typically strictly restricted to Grantee himself or dedicated OEM integrators under control of the Grantee. In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter. then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. The module will be responsible to satisfy SAR/RF Exposure requirements, when the module integrated into any (portable, mobile, fixed) host device. This module is intended for OEM integrator only and the OEM integrators and instructed to ensure that the end user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module. The module has no shielding and tested stand alone. This module is tested and approved as Limited modular approval with stand alone configuration, any OEM incorporated this radio module into any system are require additional testing and evaluation. The module is only certified with the installed antenna. Any change of the antenna will void the certification. The host device including this RF module need to undergo separate certification. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end use regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user's manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warming as shown in this manual. http://www.fn-link.com Page17/17
