Data Sheet

Class B Device Notice
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 can radiate 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.
16.3 Canada - ISED
ISED
This radio transmitter (IC: 5123A-BT122) has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED Cana-
da, formerly Industry Canada) to operate with the embedded antenna.
This device complies with ISED’s license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device
RF Exposure Statement
Exception from routine SAR evaluation limits are given in RSS-102 Issue 5.
The module meets the the requirements for Mobile use cases when the minimum separation distance from the human body is 20 cm or
greater, in accordance to the limit(s) exposed in the RF Exposure Analysis.
For Portable use cases, RF exposure or SAR evaluation is not required when the separation distances from the human body are equal
or above those stated in Table 16.1 Minimum Separation Distances for SAR Evaluation Exemption on page 38. If the separation dis-
tance from the human body is less than stated in Table 16.1 Minimum Separation Distances for SAR Evaluation Exemption on page
38 the OEM integrator is responsible for evaluating the SAR.
OEM Responsibilities to comply with IC Regulations
The module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:
• The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance as stated above is maintained between the radiator (an-
tenna) and all persons at all times.
• The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met, the final product will have to undergo additional testing to evaluate
the RF exposure in order for the ISED authorization to remain valid, and a permissive change will have to be applied with the help of
the customer's own Telecommunication Certification Body typically acting as the certificate holder’s agent.
End Product Labeling
The BT122 module is labeled with its own IC ID.
In all those cases when the IC ID is not visible after 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 IC: 5123A-BT122 ”
or
“Contains IC: 5123A-BT122”
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to 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.
As long as all the conditions in this and all the above chapters are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the
OEM integrators are still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module
installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
