FIGURE 1-5: BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE RN4870/71
Pairing Key When the RN4870/71 is connected to a remote device, the host MCU can use
the Pairing Key pin to force the module to disconnect the link and go back to
Standby state. The pin must be pulled down for at least 160 ms.
RF Active Indication Use this indication pin to indicate that the module is currently performing an
active transmission and receiving BLE data.
