2. Approvals and Usage 2.1.3. Europe: Conformité Européenne (CE) A43364x modules have been certified for use in European countries covered by ETSI regulations. The following tests have been performed and the module has been found to be compliant to the requirements: •...
2. Approvals and Usage 2.2.2. Classic Bluetooth ® Classic Bluetooth divides the 2.402-2.480 GHz band into 79 channels, each of which is 1MHz wide. However, since Bluetooth changes channels rapidly (up to 1600 times a second), it is unlikely to cause continuous interference in a specific channel and can be overcome by implementing a simple acknowledge/retransmit functionality.

3. Electrical Characteristics 3.1. Absolute Maximum Ratings Under no circumstances shall the absolute maximum ratings given in Table 5 be violated. Stress exceeding one or more of the limiting values or exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may cause permanent damage to the device.
• If the design is using an external antenna via the U.FL connector, it is okay to overlap the antenna area with copper. However, the design with an external antenna needs to meet appropriate regulatory requirements depending on the target geography, such as FCC, IC, MIC/TELEC, etc. Contact Anaren for additional information.
3. Electrical Characteristics 3.8. Packaging Details (dimensions in mm) A43364x modules are available in either matrix tray or tape-and-reel packaging for high-volume assembly. Details of packaging are provided below. 3.8.1. Matrix Tray Packaging Figure 10: A43364AxxGM and A43364CxxGM Matrix Tray Packaging Detail (27/Tray) 3.8.2.
3. Electrical Characteristics 3.9. Soldering A43364x modules may be mounted either manually (for prototyping), or automatically for production. A no-clean tin/silver/copper (SAC) solder is recommended, however, lead-based no-clean pastes may also be used. CAUTION: A43364x modules are designed for no-clean fluxes only. DO NOT use water-based fluxes that require aqueous cleaning after solder.
