All GND pins must be well grounded. The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace routings, or metal for 6 mm from the module antenna position, in all directions. Traces should not be routed underneath the module. 8 Reflow soldering The SPBTLE-RF is a high temperature strength surface mount Bluetooth module supplied on a 11 pin, 4-layer PCB. The final assembly recommended reflow profiles are indicated here below. Soldering phase has to be executed with care: in order to avoid undesired melting phenomenon, particular attention has to be taken on the set up of the peak temperature. Here following some suggestions for the temperature profile based on IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C, July 2004 recommendations. Table 4.

Ordering information Order code Description Packing MOQ SPBTLE-RF Bluetooth V4.0 Smart module Jedec tray 2448 pcs P a g e | 10 Rev 0.1 SPBTLE-RF 11 Traceability Each module is univocally identified by serial number stored in a 2D data matrix laser marked on the bottom side of the module itself. The serial number has the following format:
WW YY D FF NNN where WW = week YY = year D = product ID family FF = production panel coordinate identification NNN = progressive serial number. Each module bulk is identified by a bulk ID. BULK ID and module 2D data matrix are linked by a reciprocal traceability link. The module 2D data matrix traces the lot number of any raw material used. Rev 1.0 P a g e | 11 SPBTLE-RF 12 Regulatory compliance 12.1 FCC certification This module has been tested and found to comply with the FCC part 15 rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in approved installations. 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 may not occur in a particular installation. 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.

The final product manual must contain the following statement (or a similar statement that conveys the same meaning):
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
(Part. 15.21) In the case where an OEM seeks Class B (residential) limits for the final product, the following statement must be included in the final product manual:
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. In the case where an OEM seeks the lesser category of a Class A digital device for the final product, the following statement must be included in the final product manual:
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense.
