Antenna Precautions
A. Do not install it in a metal housing as it will shield radio frequency
signals.
B. PCB layout: The antenna part of the module is PCB antenna, and the
metal material will weaken the function of the antenna. When the module is
laid out, it is forbidden to lay the floor and route the cable under the
module antenna. It is recommended that the PCB area of the hollow bottom plate
be larger than the antenna area and be expanded more than 5mm. It is
recommended that the module be placed on the edge or corner of the PCB (not in
the middle of the bottom plate), and the antenna area protruding out of the
PCB of the customer bottom plate.
C. Layout wiring layout: It is recommended to use star wiring for power
supply lines, and ensure good linearity of power supply of the module. The
ground must be separated from the ground of power amplifier and MCU, and there
should be no other interference ground at the lower side of the module, and no
interference wires such as control wires, power cables, audio wires and MIC
wires around the antenna.
D .If there is a connector row near the module antenna or a metal shell,
which may affect the signal,you are advised to use the connector version for
external antennas.
If there are batteries, metal objects, LCD panels, speakers, etc., on the side
of the module antenna, it should be at least 15mm away from the antenna (as
shown in the figure).

Storage conditions of factory modules:
Precautions for using modules are as follows:
- When the customer opens the steel mesh, it is suggested to enlarge the hole of the module pad. Please open the steel mesh at the ratio of 1:1 and then expand 0.2mm outward. The thickness is 0.12mm (according to the process adjustment of each factory).
- Do not carry modules with bare hands. Wear gloves and static rings.
- The furnace temperature depends on the size of the customer’s motherboard.Generally, the standard temperature on a tablet computer is 250+-5°.
Precautions for module storage and use control are as follows:
The humidity sensitivity level of the module is MSL3, pay attention to the
requirements of preservation after unpacking and re-baking over time.
1. Storage period of vacuum packaging module:
1-1. Storage life: 12 months, storage environment: temperature: <40℃, relative
humidity: <90%R.H.
1-2. SMT assembly time after module packaging is removed:
1-3. Check the humidity card: the display value should be less than 30%
(blue), for example:
30% to 40%(pink) or greater than 40%(red) indicates that the module has
absobed moisture.
1-3-1 Factory ambient temperature and humidity control: ≦30%℃, ≦60%R.H.
1-3-2 After unsealing, the storage life of the workshop is 168 hours.
1-4. If it is not used up within 168 hours after unpacking, it needs to be
baked under the following conditions:
1-4-1 module must be re-baked to eliminate module moisture absorption
problems.
1-4-2 Baking temperature: 125℃, 8 hours..
1-4-3 After baking, put in appropriate desiccant and then seal the package.
1-5. The quantity of module vacuum packaging shall be subject to the actual
packaging quantity required by the customer
Packing items of module reels are as follows: 2-1. Storage life: 12 months, storage environment: temperature: <40℃, relative humidity: <90%R.H. 2-2. 168 hours after the module is unpacked, if the patch is to be put on line, it needs to be baked again to remove the moisture absorption problem of the module. The baking temperature is 125℃ for 8 hours. 2-3. Module coil packaging is subject to the actual packaging quantity required by the customer. Coil packaging picture <2>
Module tray packing items are as follows:
3-1. Storage life: 3 months, storage environment: temperature: <40℃, relative
humidity: <90%R.H.
3-2. If the module is not used within 48 hours, it needs to be baked before it
goes online. The baking temperature is 125℃ for 8 hours.
Note: the above packing method is subject to customer’s requirement, and the packing is subject to actual shipment.
FCC Statement
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit 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

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
The device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
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.
