Datasheet RN4870, RN4871 (Microchip) - 9

RN4870/71 TABLE 1-4: CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS (CONTINUED) Function Name Description
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.
TABLE 1-5: STATUS INDICATION PINS Status 1 Status 2 State
