12.2 IC certification
The SPBTLE-RF module has been tested and found compliant with the IC RSS-210 rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
approved installations. 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 may not occur in a particular installation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of the IC 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.
Modifications or changes to this equipment not expressly approved by STMicroelectronics may
render void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Modular approval
IC: 8976C-SPBTLERF
In accordance with IC RSS-210, the SPBTLE-RF is listed as a modular transmitter device.
This module is evaluated for stand-alone use only. Finished products incorporating multiple
transmitters must comply with colocation and RF exposure requirements in accordance with IC
multi-transmitter product procedures. Collocated transmitters operating in portable RF
Exposure conditions (e.g. <20cm from persons including but not limited to body worn and hand
held devices) may require separate approval.
12.2.1 Labeling instructions
When integrating the SPBTLE-RF into the final product, the OEM must ensure that the IC
labeling requirements are satisfied. A statement must be included on the exterior of the final
product which indicates that the product includes a certified module. The label should state the
following (or similar wording that conveys the same meaning):
Contains IC: 8976C-SPBTLERF
OR This product contains IC: 8976C-SPBTLERF
The OEM must include the following statements on the exterior of the final product unless the
product is too small (e.g. less than 4 x 4 inches):
This device complies with RSS-210 of the IC 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 any interference that may cause undesired operation.
12.2.2 Product manual instructions
This section applies to OEM final products containing the SPBTLE-RF module, subject to IC
compliance. The final product manual must contain the following statement (or a similar
statement that conveys the same meaning):
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. (RSS-210)
