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.

*If it is difficult to describe this statement on the host product due to the size, please describe in the User's manual. FCC CAUTION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c) Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. Frequency Tolerance: 20 ppm This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Copyright Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from persons body. Copyright Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. 05 December 2020 5 LBEE5XV1YM User Manual for FCC When installing it in a portable equipment. Please describe the following warning to the manual. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. Type1VY has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency

(RF) Exposure Guidelines. It is necessary to take a SAR test with your set mounting this module (except to use only Bluetooth). Class II permissive change application is necessary using the SAR report. Please contact Murata. Note) Portable equipment : Equipment for which the spaces between human body and antenna are used within 20cm. Mobile equipment : Equipment used at position in which the spaces between human body and antenna exceeded 20cm. Copyright Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. 05 December 2020 6

RF_734_02 04 April 16 Modular Approval Request FCC (KDB 996369 D01 & Part 15.212) FCC ID: ____VPYLB1YM____ Items to be covered by Single modular transmitters. 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-

modulation. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(b)(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. 6. The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number in accordance with 15.212 (a)(1)(vi)(A) / (B). 8. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 1.1310, 2.1091, 2.1093, and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance. Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance. Answer from applicant Yes, the EUT provides the RF shielding The module and data input(s) are buffered. The EUT has buffered data inputs, it is integrated in IC chip. The module complies the single modular approval request. The EUT meets the FCC antenna Requirements. Instructions are described in Operational Description. The modular transmitter has been performed the testing in a state of being installed on a test jig board simulating the board of the installed end product. It has been performed the testing as a stand-alone and then confirmed the compliance. The module and antenna will be mounted on a board similar to the one shown in the test set photo, and the board will be installed in the end product. No. Due to the small size of this module, the FCC ID cannot be printed on the module body. Post the FCC ID in the User manual. The EUT is compliant with all applicable FCC rules. Details instructions for maintaining compliance are given in the User Manual. The EUT is comply with RF exposure re requirement. RF exposure is addressed in the User Manual RF_734_02 04 April 16 Answer from applicant N/A Items to be covered by Split modular transmitters. 1. The modular transmitter must comply with all requirements of a single modular transmitter except for items (1) & (5) of the above single modular approval requirements. 2. Only the radio front end must be shielded. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. The interface between the split sections of the modular system must be digital with a minimum signalling amplitude of 150 mV peak-to-peak. N/A 3. Control information and other data may be exchanged between the transmitter N/A control elements and radio front end. 4. The sections of a split modular transmitter must be tested installed in a host N/A device(s) similar to that which is representative of the platform(s) intended for use. 5. Manufacturers must ensure that only transmitter control elements and radio front N/A end components that have been approved together are capable of operating together. The transmitter module must not operate unless it has verified that the installed transmitter control elements and radio front end have been authorized together. Manufacturers may use means including, but not limited to, coding in hardware and electronic signatures in software to meet these requirements, and must describe the methods in their application for equipment authorization. Note: A limited modular approval (LMA) may be granted for single or split modular transmitters that comply partially with the requirements above.
