7 Design Concerns
7.1 Reset circuit
RN-42 contains a 1k pull up to VCC, the polarity of reset on the RN42 is ACTIVE LOW. A power on reset circuit with delay is OPTIONAL on the reset pin of the module. It should only be required if the input power supply has a very slow ramp, or tends to bounce or have instability on power up. Often a microcontroller or embedded CPU IO is available to generate reset once power is stable. If not, there are many low cost power supervisor chips available, such as MCP809, MCP102/121, and Torex XC61F.
7.2 Factory reset PIO4
It is a good idea to connect this pin to a switch, or jumper, or resistor, so it can be accessed. This pin can be used to reset the module to FACTORY DEFAULTS and is often critical in situations where the module has been mis-configured. To set Factory defaults start HIGH, then toggle times.
7.3 Connection status
PIO5 is available to drive an LED, and blinks at various speeds to indicate status. PIO2 is an output which directly reflects the connection state, it goes HIGH when connected, and LOW otherwise.
7.4 HCI mode
The RN42 module must be loaded with special firmware to run in HCI mode. When in HCI mode the standard SPP/DUN applications are disabled.
7.5 Using SPI bus for flash upgrade
While not required, this bus is very useful for configuring advanced parameters of the Bluetooth modules, and is required for upgrading the firmware on modules. The suggested ref-design shows a 6pin header which can be implemented to gain access to this bus. A minimum-mode version could just use the SPI signals (4pins) and pickup ground and VCC from elsewhere on the design.

7.6 Minimizing radio interface
When laying out the carrier board for the RN42 module the areas under the antenna and shielding connections should not have surface traces, GND planes, or exposed vias. (See diagram to right) For optimal radio performance the antenna end of RN42 module should protrude 5mm past any metal enclosure.
7.7 Soldering reflow profile
z Lead-Free Solder Reflow z Temp: 230 degree C, 30-40 seconds, Peak 250 degree C maximum. z Preheat temp: 165 +- 15 degree C, 90 to 120 seconds. z Time: Single Pass, One Time

Compliance Information
FCC Compliance Statement:
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. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Product that is a radio transmitter is labeled with FCC ID.
FCC Caution:
(1) Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. (2) Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. (3) This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. (4) Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment.
(5) Outdoor Operations in the 5.15~5.25GHz band is prohibited.
NOTE:
(1) This device is approved for OEM installation with specified antennas as listed in this Manual. It is the responsibility of the Installer to comply with the separation distance for satisfying RF exposure compliance. (2) This device only could work when being installed into “client devices” which could not transmit automatically, such as Notebook P.C. , with the software driver limit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
IC Radiation Exposure Statement for Canada
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled enviroment. To maintain compliance with IC RF exposure compliance requirements, Please avoid direct contact to the transmitting. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF Exposure compliance.
Caution: The device is incapable of transmitting in the band 5600-5650 MHz band in Canada.
