10. Notes and Cautions
Module is not designed to be used and lasting a lifetime. Like general products, it is expected
to be worn out after continuous usage through the years. To assure that product will perform
better and last longer, please
⚫
Follow the guidelines of this document while designing circuit/end-product. Any
discrepancy of core Bluetooth technology and technical specification of IC should refer to
definition of Bluetooth Orgnization and Nordic Semiconductor as final reference.
⚫
Do not supply voltage that is not within range of specification.
⚫
Eliminate static electricity at any methods when working with the module as it may cause
damage. It is highly recommended adding anti-ESD components to circuit design to
prevent damage from real-life ESD events. Anti-ESD methods can be also applied in
mechanical design.
⚫
Do not expose modules under direct sunlight for long duration. Modules should be kept
away from humid and salty air conditions, and any corrosive gasses or substances. Store
it within -40℃ to +125℃ before and after installation.
⚫
Avoid any physical shock, intense stress to the module or its surface.
⚫
Do not wash the module. No-Clean Paste is used in production. Washing process will
oxidize the metal shield and have chemistry reaction with No-Clean Paste. Functions of
the module are not guaranteed when it goes through washing process.
The module is not suitable for life support device or system and not allowed to be used in
destructive device or system in any direct, or indirect ways. The customer is agreeing to
indemnify Raytac for any losses when applying modules under such application as described
above.
