This section outlines the regulatory information for the
BM71 module for the following countries:
• United States
• Canada
• Europe
• Japan
• Korea
• Taiwan
A.1.1
The BM71 module is in progress to receive Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommunications, 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 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 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 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 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:
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.

A.1.3
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.

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.

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.

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
