AirPrime BX310x Wi-Fi/BT Module Product Technical Specification 41111444 Rev 2 Product Technical Specification Important Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data. Safety and Hazards Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE IN AIRPLANE MODE OR POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE IN AIRPLANE MODE OR POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems. Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time. The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Limitation of Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless product.

Integrators may use the BX3100/BX3105 module in their end products without additional FCC certification if the following conditions are met. • At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times. • The BX3100/BX3105 module must not be collocated with any other transmitter within a host device. • The regulatory label on the end product must include the text “Contains FCC ID: TBD” and the following compliance statement: 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. A user manual with the end product must clearly indicate the operating requirements and conditions to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure guidelines. The end product with an embedded BX3100/BX3105 module may also need to meet the FCC Part 15 unintentional emission requirements and be properly authorized per FCC Part 15 Subpart B.

Integrators may use the BX3100/BX3105 module in their end products without additional IC certification if the following conditions are met. • At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times. • The BX3100/BX3105 module must not be collocated with any other transmitter within a host device. • The regulatory label on the end product must include the text “Contains IC : TBD” and the following compliance statement: This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Bluetooth Qualification Program (BQP) • • In case no other non-certified Bluetooth components are incorporated, the BX3100/BX3105's BQP marking certification allows users to integrate the module into products without the need to obtain subsequent and separate approval. The BX3100/BX3105 has been approved by the Bluetooth Qualification Body (BQB) to use the Bluetooth trademark and to offer official Bluetooth functionality. The approval according to the V4.2 Bluetooth specification confirms that the module complies with the Bluetooth specification and will successfully operate with other products supporting the same profile. BQP certification also ensures that the module has gone through safety assessment. This certification was granted through a combination of product performance testing and interoperability testing. This certification applies globally. Labelling • Products complying with all relevant requirements are allowed to bear the official Bluetooth logo For further information regarding the BQP certification requirements please review the following websites: Bluetooth Special Interest Group: https://www.bluetooth.org/apps/content/ Rev 2 Oct.17 31 41111444 6 6: Pinout The system interface of the AirPrime BX310x is through the LGA pattern on the bottom of the PCB. AirPrime BX310x pins are divided into three functional categories: • Core functions and associated pins—Cover all the mandatory features for M2M connectivity and will be available by default across all CF3 family of modules. These Core functions are always available and always at the same physical pin locations. A customer platform using only these functions and associated pins is guaranteed to be forward and/or backward compatible with the next generation of CF3 modules. • Extension functions and associated pins—Bring additional capabilities to the customer. Whenever an Extension function is available on a module, it is always at the same pin location. • Custom functions and associated pins—These are module-specific and make use of specific chipset functions and I/Os. Warning: Custom features should be used with caution as there is no guarantee that the custom functions available on a given module will be available on other CF3 modules. Pins marked as "Leave open" or "Reserved" should not be used or connected.

Figure 6-1: Pin Configuration (Bottom View) 6.2 Pin Description Table 6-1 on page 33 lists detailed information for the LGA pins. Important: Leave open all pins that are not used.
