Installation Guide for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Module Integration 1. Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide information on how to use a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as a radio module when integrating into a product. Incorrect integration or use may infringe compliance rules meaning recertification may be required. 2. Module Description The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B+ module has an IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac 1x1 WLAN, Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth LE module based on the Cypress 43455 chip. The module is designed to be mounted, with appropriate screws, into an end product. The module must be placed in a suitable location to ensure WLAN performance is not compromised. The module contains an on-board dual band WLAN + Bluetooth antenna.

3. Integration into Products Module & Antenna Placement A separation distance greater than 20cm will always be maintained between the antennas and any other radio transmitter if installed in the same product. The module is physically attached and held in place by screws In order to connect the module to the system micro USB power cable is connected to J1 on the board. The supply should be 5V DC minimum 3A. Power can also be supplied on the 40 Pin GPIO header (J8); Pins 1 + 3 connected to 5V and pin 5 to GND. 40 Pin GPIO header 5V DC IN

Dependent on intended usage the following ports can / should be connected; Micro HDMI AUDIO Ethernet USB2.0 and USB3.0 ports DSI Display (for use with Official Raspberry Pi display, sold separately) CSI Camera (for use with Official Raspberry Pi Camera module, sold separately) ETHERNET USB3.0 DISPLAY USB2.0 Micro HDMI Micro HDMI AUDIO CAMERA USB-C Power Any external power supply used with the Raspberry-Pi shall comply with relevant regulations and standards applicable in the country of intended use. At no point should any part of the board be altered as this will invalidate any existing compliance work. Always consult professional compliance experts about integrating this module into a product to ensure that all certifications are retained. 4. Antenna Information The antenna on board is a Dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) PCB niche antenna design licensed from Proant with Peak Gain: 2.4GHz 3.5dBi, 5GHz 2.3dBi. It is important that the antenna is placed in a suitable place inside the product to ensure optimal operation. Do not place close to metal casing.

5. End Product Labelling A label is to be fitted to the exterior of all products containing the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ module. The label must contain the words “Contains FCC ID: 2ABCB-RPI4B” (for FCC) and “Contains IC: 20953- RPI4B” (for ISED). FCC Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1GB, 2GB, 4GB + 8GB variants FCC ID: 2ABCB-RPI4B This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules, Operation is Subject to following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received including interference that cause undesired operation.

Caution: Any changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void user s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply within the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, 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 or more of the following measures: • Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. For products available on the USA/Canada market, only channels 1 to 11 are available for 2.4GHz WLAN This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC’s multi-transmitter procedures. This device operates in the 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range and is restricted to in indoor use only. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement; Co-location of this module with other transmitter that operate simultaneously are required to be evaluated using the FCC multi- transmitter procedures. This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The device contains an integral antenna hence, the device must be installed to so that a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons.

Changes in Usage Conditions of this Module This device has been approved as a Mobile device in accordance with FCC and ISED Canada requirement. This means that there must be a minimum separation distance of 20cm between the Module’s antenna and any persons A change in use that involves a separation distance ≤20cm (Portable usage) between the Module’s antenna and any persons is a change in the RF exposure of the module and, hence, is subject to a FCC Class 2 Permissive Change and a ISED Canada Class 4 Permissive Change policy in accordance with FCC KDB 996396 D01 and ISED Canada RSP-100. As noted above, This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with IC multi-transmitter product procedures. If the device is co-located with multiple antennas, the module could be subject to a FCC Class 2 Permissive Change and a ISED Canada Class 4 Permissive Change policy in accordance with FCC KDB 996396 D01 and ISED Canada RSP-100. In accordance with FCC KDB 996369 D03, section 2.9, test mode configuration information is available from the Module manufacturer for the Host (OEM) product manufacturer.
