Chapter 2 Hardware Specifications/Compliance FCC Information FCC ID: N6C-SXDWAG NOTICE In accordance with FCC Part 15, the SX-SDWAG is listed as a Modular Transmitter device. End products that include the SX-SDWAG shall have the words “Contains Transmitter module FCC ID: N6CSXSDWAG” on an exterior label. This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

Chapter 3 Installation Installation Requirements The SX-SDWAG must be installed in a device that contains a 9-pin SDIO slot. The SX-SDWAG has FCC modular approval, which can eliminate the need for you obtain FCC Part 15 Subpart C and E (intentional radiation) approvals for your device. In order to use this FCC modular approval for the SX-SDWAG, you must: 1. Include “Contains FCC ID: N6C-SXSDWAG” on the label of your device. 2.
Figure 2 Connecting the Antenna Cable(s) to the SX-SDWAG 4. If your device is subject to significant vibration or other forces, Silex recommends the use of a retaining bracket to prevent the accidental ejection of the card. This bracket can be the Silex 15000192-100 retaining bracket (see figure 3) or an equivalent custom-made bracket. Figure 3 Securing the SX-SDWAG with Optional Bracket 5. Connect the other end of the cable(s) to the antenna(s).
