4.5 Soldering Recommendations

The RN4871-TR100 Bluetooth module is assembled using standard

lead-free reflow profile IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.

The module can be soldered to the host PCB using standard leaded and

lead-free solder reflow profiles.

To avoid damaging the module, the following recommendations are

given:

• Microchip Technology Application Note, “AN233 Solder Reflow

Recommendation” (DS00233)

provides solder reflow recommendations

• Do not exceed peak temperature (TP) of 250°C

• Refer to the solder paste data sheet for specific

reflow profile recommendations

• Use no-clean flux solder paste

• Do not wash as moisture can be trapped under the shield

• Use only one flow. If the PCB requires multiple flows,

apply the module on the final flow.

5.1 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

• The title page indicate “OEM/Integrators Installations Manual”

• The module is limited to OEM installation ONLY

• The OEM integrators is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or

install module

• The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications, according to Part 2.1091(b)

• The separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with

respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations • Antenna information:

As indicate in the FCC KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01:

“A list of antennas included in the application for certification must be provided in the instructions. ... The

antenna list shall also identify the antenna types (monopole, PIFA, dipole, etc. (note that for example an

“omni-directional antenna” is not considered to be a specific “antenna type”)).”

• Grantees are responsible for the continued compliance of their modules to the FCC rules. This includes advising

host product manufacturers that they need to provide a physical or e-label stating “Contains FCC ID” with their

finished product. See Guidelines for Labeling and User Information for RF Devices – KDB Publication 784748

15.21 You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause interference and

2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may

cause undesired operation of the device.

15.105(b) 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.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:

This module 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.

(Date) 02/22/2021 Product name) FCC ID: 2AYPF-RN4871-TR100 __, is seeking FCC Authorization as a [X]Single Modular transmitter /_] Single Limited Modular Approval (Please check one). The EUT meets the requirements for [X]Single Modular approval / [_]Single Limited Modular Approval (please check one) as detailed in FCC public Notice DA00-1407. Compliance to each of the requirements is described below:

Questions are: * Please provide a detailed explanation if the answer is No. Modular requirement The radio elements must have the radio frequency circuitry shielded. Physical components and tuning capacitor(s) may be located external to the shield, but must be on the module assembly;

The module must have buffered modulation/data inputs to ensure that the device will comply with Part 15 requirements with any type of input signal;

The module must contain power supply regulation on the module;

4 The module must contain a permanently attached antenna, or contain a unique antenna connector, and be marketed and operated only with specific antenna(s), per Sections 15.203, 15.204(b), 15.204(c), 15.212(a), 2.929(b):

5 The module must demonstrate compliance in a stand-alone configuration;

6 The module must be labelled with its permanently affixed FCC ID label, or use an electronic display

(See KDB Publication 784748 about labelling requirements);

7 The module must comply with all specific rules applicable to the transmitter including all the conditions provided in the integration instructions by the grantee;

The module must comply with RF exposure requirements Note:

(1) LMA may be granted when one or more of the requirements in the table above cannot be demonstrated. LMA will also be issued in those instances where applicants can demonstrate that they will retain control over the final installation of the device, such that compliance of the end product is assured. In such cases, an operating condition on the LMA for the module must state that the module is only approved for use when installed in devices produced by a specific manufacturer. When LMA is sought, the application for equipment certification must specifically state how control of the end product into which the module will be installed, and will be maintained, such that full compliance of the end product is always ensured.

(2) Please provide Clear and specific instructions describing the conditions, limitations and procedures for third-parties to use and/or integrate the module into a host device.

(3) For non-Software Defined Radio transmitter modules where software is used to ensure compliance of the device, technical description of how such control is implemented to ensure prevention of third party modification must be provided (see KDB 594280). Note 1: Compliance of a module in its final configuration is the responsibility of the applicant. A host device will not be considered certified if the instructions regarding antenna configuration provided in the original description, of one or more separately certified modules it contains, were not followed. Example: A separately certified low-power transceiver module using Bluetooth technology which is housed in a desktop computer, laptop or peripheral does not require the overall system to be recertified, if the desktop computer, laptop or peripheral, as a stand-alone unit, complies with all applicable technical standards. air Client's signature Client's name / title Junghun Jeong /President Contact information / address Truebeyond Co., Ltd. 23, Gokhyeon-ro 480 Beon-gil, Mohyeon-eup, Cheoin-gu, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 17031
