BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 54 APPENDIX A: CERTIFICATION NOTICES BM71 module regulatory approval status: • BT SIG/QDID:74246 • United States/FCC ID: A8TBM71S2 • Canada/IC ID: 12246A-BM71S2 HVIN: BM71BLES1FC2 • Europe/CE: In Progress • Japan/MIC: 005-101150 • Korea/KCC: MSIP-CRM-mcp-BM71BLES1FC2 • Taiwan/NCC No: In Progress A.1 REGULATORY APPROVAL This section outlines the regulatory information for the BM71 module for the following countries: • United States • Canada • Europe • Japan • Korea • Taiwan A.1.1 UNITED STATES The BM71 module is in progress to receive Federal Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecom- munications, Part 15 Subpart C "Intentional Radiators" modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Mod- ular Transmitter approval. Modular approval allows the end user to integrate the BM71 module into a finished product without obtaining subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module cir- cuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance. The finished product is required to comply with all appli- cable FCC equipment authorizations regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module portion. For example, com- pliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Sub- part B "Unintentional Radiators"), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module (i.e., Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., transmitter modules may also contain digital logic func- tions) as appropriate. A.1.2 LABELING AND USER INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS The BM71 module has to be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the out- side of the finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording as follows: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: A8TBM71S2 or Contains FCC ID: A8TBM71S2 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 Due to the limited module size (9.0 x 11.5mm) the FCC Identifier is displayed in the Datasheet only and cannot be displayed on the module label. Note: This device has no been au orized as required by the rules of the ederal Com- munications Commission This device is no and may not be, offered or sale or leas or sold or leased, until au orization is obtained
Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 55 BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information A user's manual for the finished product should include the following statement: Additional information on labeling and user information requirements for Part 15 devices can be found in KDB Publication 784748 available at the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) http://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/index.cfm. A.1.3 RF EXPOSURE All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. KDB 447498 General RF Exposure Guidance provides guidance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). From the FCC Grant: Output power listed is conducted. This grant is valid only when the module is sold to OEM integrators and must be installed by the OEM or OEM integrators. This transmitter is restricted for use with the specific antenna(s) tested in this application for Certification and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters within a host device, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 56 A.2 Canada The BM71 module certification is in progress for use in Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-247 and RSS-Gen. Modular approval permits the installation of a module in a host device without the need to recertify the device. Certification details: IC Certification Number: 12246A-BM71S2 HVIN: BM71BLES1FC2 A.2.1 LABELING AND USER INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Sec- tion 3.1, RSS-Gen, Issue 4, November 2014): The host device shall be properly labeled to identify the module within the host device. The Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled to display the Industry Canada certification number of the module, preceded by the words "Contains transmit- ter module", or the word "Contains", or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows: Due to the limited module size (9.0 x 11.5mm) the IC identifier is displayed in the Datasheet only and cannot be displayed on the module label. User Manual Notice for License-Exempt Radio Appara- tus (from Section 8.4, RSS-Gen, Issue 4, November 2014): User manuals for license-exempt radio appara-tus shall contain the following or equivalent notice in a conspicuous location in the user manual or alterna- tively on the device or both: Transmitter Antenna (from Section 8.3, RSS-Gen, Issue 4, November 2014): User manuals for transmit- ters shall display the following notice in a conspicuous location: Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio trans- mitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the trans- mitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotrop- ically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Can- ada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Can- ada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établisse- ment d'une communication satisfaisante. The above notice may be affixed to the device instead of displayed in the user manual.

BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 60 Appendix B: Labelling Considerations BM71 module, due to the module dimension limitation, could not add the certificate ID on module directly, we would like to apply for your permission to add the certificate ID on the Datasheet and alternatively on the shipping package instead of on module. Description 1. BM71 Module dimension Area A: 1.5X8.5mm2 Area B: 7.7X6.1mm2, this is a shielding case with a label for BT address and date code Area C: 3.5X8.5mm2 Area D: 2.1X6.35mm2 and 1.4X3.6mm2, the area is not complete and continuous. Form factor 2. According the description above, due to the dimension limitation, we could not find out an area good to print a clear certificate ID or logo. 3. We would apply for your kindly permission to allow Microchip to ship the module by the new approach, in appendix I, to add the certificate ID on the anti-static bag, the out pack of the module tray 4. Appendix B-1 is one of the proposal.
Advance Information Revision 0.4 12/2015 DS60001372C-Page 61 BM71 Regulatory Compliance Information Appendix B-1 There is an anti-static bag outside the module tray, we suggest adding the certificate ID on the bag, it is very clear for the custom and government to check the ID, and we will also add the certificate ID information in the module user manual to avoid any possible confusion by the user.
