Table 1: Module Pin Description

Note: GPIO has integrated pull-up and pull-down resistors.
Support GPIO super multiplexing function, WAKE_UP / UART / SPI / IIC / PWM / and other functions can be arbitrarily configured on GPIO.
For more GPIO function configuration questions, contact to Pairlink.
As shown in the following table: GPIO Pin detailed Information.

Appearance and Dimensions

Figure 1 shows the size of the module.The components and prominent structure are not allowed put in this size range(20.5mm*14.0mm*2.6mm).

The following land pattern size is recommended for user board design. However, user can modify it according PCB soldering conditions. Sufficient examination is necessary if use the modified land pattern.

Figure 1: Mechanical Information

Module Layout Guideline

The layout on user PCB should be designed according to the following guideline. When the module is placed on the PCB, it must be ensured that the RF antenna area (2 times the width of the module) is hollow or suspended, and there must be no traces, vias or copper.

Figure 2: Module Placement

Welding Declaration

The Rabbit-C module only supports one reflow soldering. Our company is not responsible for the module failure caused by multiple reflow soldering.

FCC Interference Statement

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generate, 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 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 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.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

RF exposure warning

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

This product may not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Industry Canada (IC)

CAN ICES-003 (B)/NMB-003(B)

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body.

OEM Integration Instructions

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

The module can be used to installation in other host. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmit or antenna. The module shall be only used with the integral antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module. As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirement with this module installed (for example, digital device emission, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring the end-user has no manual  instruction to remove or install module.

IMPORTANT NOTE

In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configuration or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization for this module in combination with the host equipment is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these and circumstance, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating. The end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AQV6RABBIT”.

Antenna Specification

This Module (IC: 24210-RABBIT) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

The Host Marketing Name (HMN) must be displayed (according to e-labelling requirements) or indicated at any location on the exterior of the host product or product packaging or product literature, which shall be available with the host product or online.

The host product shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host product.

The Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host product; otherwise, the host product must be labelled to display the Innovation, Science and Economic

Development Canada certification number for the module, preceded by the word “Contains” or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows:
Contains IC: 24210-RABBIT
