The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the 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

safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the 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 a

Chapter 3 Installation Installation Requirements The SX-SDCAG must be installed in a device that contains a 9-pin SDIO slot. The SX-SDCAG has FCC limited single modular approval, which can eliminate the need for you to obtain FCC Part 15 Subpart C and E (intentional radiation) approvals for your device. In order to use this FCC/IC limited single modular approval for the SX-SDCAG, OEM integrators must: 1. include “Contains FCC ID: N6C-SXSDCAG, IC: 4908B-SXSDCAG” on the exterior label

2. Connect one end of the antenna cable to the main antenna connector on the SX-SDCAG (see figure 2). If you are using a diversity antenna configuration, connect one end of the second antenna cable to the secondary antenna on the SX-SDCAG. Figure 2. Connecting the Antenna(s) and cable(s) to the SX-SDCAG 3. Insert the SX-SDCAG into an available SDIO slot in your device. Make sure that it is securely seated. 4. If your device is subject to significant vibration or other forces
