BGM121/BGM123 Blue Gecko Bluetooth ^® SiP Module Data Sheet
Certifications
11.3 FCC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silicon Labs could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specif-
ic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter meets both portable and mobile limits as demonstrated
in the RF Exposure Analysis and SAR test report. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC Regulations:
The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
Each new host will require reassessment of radiated spurious emissions and a permissive change to the certification.
For BGM121N the minimum separation distance to human body is 6 mm. If the separation distance from the antenna to human body is
6 mm or more, SAR testing is not needed. In case the separation distance to human body is less than 6 mm, then OEM integrator is
responsible to test the SAR with the end product assembly.
OEM integrator is responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module instal-
led (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
Important Note:
In the event that this condition cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authori-
zation is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot 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.
End Product Labeling
The BGM121/BGM123 Bluetooth module is labeled with its own FCC ID. If the FCC ID 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. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
"Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: QOQBGM12LMA"
Or
"Contains FCC ID: QOQBGM12LMA"
The OEM integrator must not provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF
related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
