REGULATION INFORMATION Federal Communication Commission Interference 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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

Board Layout Figure 9 shows the 2 layers evaluation board. Figure 9. Board Layout Table 8 and Figure 10 describe instances of good layout practices. Reference 1 2 3 4 Guideline Descriptions The proximity of ground vias must be close to the pad. Signal traces must not be run underneath the module on the layer where the module is mounted. Increase the ground pour in the first layer. Have a solid ground plane and ground vias under the module for stable system and thermal dissipation. Table 8. Module Layout Guidelines Copyright JORJIN TECHNOLOGIES INC. 2014 Page 18 http://WWW.JORJIN.COM.TW CONFIDENTIAL Doc No: WG1300BE00 EM Board-UG-R02 1 2, 3 4 Figure 10. Module Layout Guidelines Figure 11 shows the RF trace design for the PCB. A 50- impedance match on the trace to the antenna should be used. Also, 50- traces are recommended for the PCB layout. Figure 11 also lists the distances. Figure 12 shows layer 1 with the trace to the antenna over the layer 2. Table 9 and Figure 13 describe instances of good layout practices for the antenna and RF trace routing. Figure 11. Trace Design for the PCB layout Copyright JORJIN TECHNOLOGIES INC. 2014 Page 19 http://WWW.JORJIN.COM.TW CONFIDENTIAL Doc No: WG1300BE00 EM Board-UG-R02 Figure 12. Layer 1 Combined with Layer 2 Reference Guideline Descriptions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The RF trace antenna feed must be as short as possible beyond the ground reference. At this point, the trace starts to radiate. The RF trace bends must be gradual with an approximate maximum bend of 45 degrees with trace mitered. RF traces must not have sharp corners. RF traces must have via stitching on the ground plane beside the RF trace on both sides. RF traces must have constant impedance (microstrip transmission line). For best results, the RF trace ground layer must be the ground layer immediately below the RF trace. The ground layer must be solid. There must be no traces or ground under the antenna section. The PCB designer must understand the microstrip model used and the scale line width according to the microstrip model. RF traces must be as short as possible. The antenna, RF traces, and modules must be on the edge of the PCB product. The proximity of the antenna to the enclosure and the enclosure material must also be considered. Table 9.

Antenna and RF Trace Routing Layout Guidelines The following show the supply routing guidelines:
For power supply routing, the power trace for VBAT must be at least 40 mil wide. The 1.8-V trace must be at least 18 mil wide. Make VBAT traces as wide as possible to ensure reduced inductance and trace resistance. If possible, shield VBAT traces with ground above, below, and beside the traces.
