FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 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:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Labeling requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF exposure warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must
be providing with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance.

10
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20cm may
be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the
following: "Contains FCC ID: NBF-SDMN”
Information for the OEMs and Integrators
The following statement must be included with all versions of this document supplied to an
OEM or integrator, but should not be distributed to the end user.
1) This device is intended for OEM integrators only.
2) Please see the full Grant of Equipment document for other restrictions.
This radio transmitter FCC ID: NBF-SDMN has been approved by FCC to operate with the antenna types listed below with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this
list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Hosted Information
The “PA-6030” is a test-hosted board for Argox Information Co., Ltd. “ARGOX-SDM-802.11 BGN” RF module.
The hosted board manufacture and model name is Argox Information Co., Ltd. / PA-6030, PT-9130-1-1, PT-9230-1-1,
PT-9132-0-0, PT-9232-0-0
1. Hardware Setup
a.) The RF module need to soldered on the test-hosted board.

11
The ARGOX-SDM-802.11 BGN has received Limited Module Approval (LMA) from FCC. This is because the
ARGOX-SDM-802.11 BGN does not have a built-in +3.3V regulator circuit. Argox Information Co., Ltd.
recommends that customers follow the +3.3V supply voltage requirements given in this data sheet.
If the power supply recommendations are followed, then customers will not need to go through formal certification of
the product for WiFi related RF behavior for FCC. It is the product manufacturers responsibility to make sure that the
power supply recommendations is followed, and that the RF behavior meets the certification requirements when the
module is installed in the final product.
