YAESU BU-5 Bluetooth Adapter Unit Transceiver Instructions
The BU-5 is the Bluetooth® unit for the Transceiver.
Please refer to the transceiver’s manual for installation and operation of the BU-5.
Overview
BU-5 it is a Bluetooth dual-mode module series. It supports a Bluetooth Low Energy and compliant system for audio and data communication.
BU-5 integrates an ultra-low-power DSP and application processor with embedded flash memory, a high-performance stereo codec, a power management subsystem, I2S, LED drivers and ADC I/O. Both cores use external flash to execute code, making it easy for user to differentiate products from new features without delaying the development.
By default, BU-5 module is equipped with powerful and easy-to-use Feasycom firmware. It’s easy to use and completely encapsulated. Firmware enables users to access Bluetooth functionality with simple ASCII commands delivered to the module over serial interface – it’s just like a Bluetooth modem.
Therefore, BU-5 provides an ideal solution for developers who want to integrate Bluetooth wireless technology into their design.

FCC Warning
Integration instructions for host product manufacturers according to KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
FCC Part 15.247
Specific operational use conditions
This transmitter/module and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any transmitter. This information also extends to the host manufacturer’s instruction manual.
Limited module procedures
Not applicable
Trace antenna designs
It is “not applicable” as trace antenna which is not used on the module.
RF exposure considerations
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment can be used in portable exposure conditions.
The host product manufacturer would provide the above information to end users in their end-product manuals.
