Antenna Information

Antenna Types

  • The XY3721-B3C Bluetooth module uses an onboard PCB antenna or IPX antenna interface

Reduce antenna interference

  • To ensure optimal RF performance, it is recommended to keep the distance between the antenna part of the module and other metal parts at least 15mm. If using the environment.
  • The antenna is surrounded by metal materials, which greatly attenuates the wireless signal and deteriorates the RF performance. Since the module is installed as a plug-in,  Be careful to leave enough space for the antenna area.

The host manufacturer has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product that integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information / waming as show in this manual.

Limited module procedures. Not applicable.
The module is a Single module and complies with the requirement of FCC part 15.212.
Trace antenna designs .Not applicable.
The module as its ow antenna,and doesn’t need a host sprinted board microstrip trace antenna etc

RF exposure considerations

The module must be installed in the host equipment such that at least 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users ” body,and if RF exposure statement or module layout is changed, then the host product manufacturer required to take responsibility of the module through a change in FCC ID or new application. The FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product In this circumstance, the host manufacturer will be responsible for evaluating the end product ( including the transmier ) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

Antennas: Antenna Specification are as follows :

  • Type: PCB Antenna
  • Gain: 2.54dBi Max

This device is intended only for host manufacturers under the following conditions:The module shall be only used with the internal antennas ) that has been originally tested and certified with this module . The antenna must be either permanently attached or employ unique antenna coupler .As long as the conditions above are met , further transmitter test will not be required However, the host manufacturer is still responsible for testing their end- product for any additional compliance requirements required with his module installed for example , digital device emissions , PC peripheral requirements, etc : )

Label and compliance information

Host product manufacturers need to provide a physical or e-label stating ” Contains FCC ID:2A9TO-XY3721-B3C with their finished product.

Information on the modes and additional testing requirements

Host Manacor ms pa orm s  of aiad & oced mission and spurious emission a in ac test modes for a stand – alone modular transmiter host, as well as for multi silenus ramming modules or other transmitters in a host product.Only when all the test results of test modes comply with FCC requirements, then the end product can be sold legally.

Additional testing, Part 15 subpart B disclaimer. The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for FCC Part 15 Subpart c 15.247 & 15. 209 and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other  FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of cerification.

If the grantee markets their product as being art 15 Subpart B compliant when it also contains unintentional radiator digital circuity , then the grantee shall provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires art 15 Subpart B compliance testing.

CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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
  2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 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 canradiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,may cause harmful interference to radio 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.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
