This section outlines the regulatory information for the
BM64 module for the following countries:
• United States
• Canada
• Europe
• Japan
• Korea
• Taiwan
• China
A.1.1
The BM64 module has received Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecom-
munications, Part 15 Subpart C "Intentional Radiators"
modular approval in accordance with Part 15.212 Modular Transmitter approval. Modular approval allows the
end user to integrate the BM64 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 circuitry. 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 applicable FCC equipment authorizations regulations,
requirements and equipment functions not associated
with the transmitter module portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other
transmitter components within the host product; to
requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B "Unintentional Radiators"), such as digital

NOTICES
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 functions) as appropriate.
A.1.2
LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The BM64 module has been 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 outside 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:
A8TBM64S2
or
Contains FCC ID: A8TBM64S2
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
A user's manual for the finished product should include
the following statement:

The BM64 module has been certified for use in
Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards
Procedure (RSP) RSP-100, Radio Standards

approval permits the installation of a module in a host
device without the need to recertify the device.

Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from Section 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 transmitter module", or the word "Contains", or similar wording
expressing the same meaning, as follows:
Co ains transmitter module

Transmitter Antenna (from Section 8.3, RSS-Gen,
Issue 4, November 2014): User manuals for transmitters shall display the following notice in a conspicuous
location:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, 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 Canada. 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'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
