Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
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.
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.
Declaration the Restriction of this Limited Module Approval:
According to FCC Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.212, the radio elements of the modular
transmitter must have their own shielding.
This module is granted as a Limited Modular Approval. When this Bluetooth Module is
installed into the end product, a Class II Permissive Change or a New FCC ID submission is
required to ensure the full compliance of FCC relevant requirements.
RF exposure statements:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure requirement set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.End users must follow the specific operating instructions for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
1 Introduction
The Bluetooth USB Dongle (PCA10059) is the preferred hardware to be used with the nRF
Connect for Desktopsoftware package to develop and test your nRF-based wireless solutions.
