Datasheet
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense.
6.2 IC certification
The SPBTLE-1S 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:
• this device may not cause harmful interference
and
• 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-SPBTLE1S
In accordance with IC RSS-210, the SPBTLE-1S 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. < 20 cm from persons
including but not limited to body worn and hand held devices) may require separate approval.
6.2.1 Labeling instructions
When integrating the SPBTLE-1S 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-SPBTLE1S
OR
This product contains IC: 8976C-SPBTLE1S
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:
• this device may not cause harmful interference
and
• this device must accept any interference received, including any interference that may cause undesired
operation
6.2.2 Product manual instructions
This section applies to OEM final products containing the SPBTLE-1S 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)
In the case where an OEM seeks Class B (residential) limits for the final product, the following statement must be
included in the final product manual:
