The low cost GC-BLE300-BGA Embedded BLE Module provides support for
Bluetooth 4.2 networking for a printed circuit board device design. The compact
module is a high performance feature rich surface mount (SMT) embedded
module. For optimal performance, the GC-BLE300-BGA has an internal PCB
antenna. (See the table on the reverse side for a summary of the GC-BLE300­BGA ordering options.)

Based on the Marvell 88MB300 SoC, the GC-BLE300-BGA is a feature-rich
module that can provide Bluetooth support for an exisiting CPU or can host an
application on the module. Interface with the GC-BLE300-BGA via GPIOs or

high speed UART. Congure the device with Marvell’s BLE development toolkit

(contact Grid Connect for more information). The GC-BLE300-BGA can support
BLE, Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Audio.

With a small footprint, low cost, and a rich feature set, the GC-BLE300-BGA Em­bedded WiFi Module is well suited for many applications. The module is small
enough to be added to handheld devices. With an industrial temperature range,
the GC-BLE300-BGA can be used in devices designed for harsh environments.
Multiple antenna options allow the GC-BLE300-BGA to be added to existing

device designs or to provide engineers with the design exibility to meet specic

application requirements. The GC-BLE300-BGA is a member of a complete line
of Embedded Modules provided by Grid Connect. Need a smaller device size,
lower power, SPI interface? Grid Connect can help pick the best embedded
module to meet your needs.

Development is done via our GC-BLE300-BGA-EVK which brings out all the
pins and interfaces on the module to allow for quick development.

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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
The modular can be installed or integrated in mobile or fix devices only. This modular cannot be installed in any
portable device, for example, USB dongle like transmitters is forbidden.

This modular complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This modular
must be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and user body.

If the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside
of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This
exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:
2AFC3BLE300SMTINT or Contains FCC ID: 2AFC3BLE300SMTINT”

when the module is installed inside another device, the user manual of this device must contain below warning
statements;

1. 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.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
The devices must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the
user documentation that comes with the product
