Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC,
through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets
are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the
RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter
will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words,
this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to
transmit or operational failure.

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC,
through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets
are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the
RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter
will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words,
this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to
transmit or operational failure.

Manual and Product Labeling information To The End User
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this
manual.And when this module is installed in the host product, you must include a “Contain FCC
ID : N6C-SXPCEACDB”and a “Contain IC: 4908A- SXPCEACDB” in the label of the host product.
This module is designed for embedded purpose into the general electric devices, and is not
designed for high reliability demands like aircraft instruments, nuclear control instruments,
high reliability medical instruments, high reliability security instruments or any other devices
required extremely high reliability and quality.
• As this module communicates by radio wave, it is strongly recommended to use some security
system to prevent unexpected information leakage to others.
• This module is a radio module for embedded purpose. Please understand functions and features
of this module, and evaluate as the final product which has this module embedded. Also, as
evaluation of EMC conformity of this module has not been performed, EMC conformity evaluation
and application must be performed with the final product which this module is embedded.
• This module will effect to some other device or be affected by the some other device using
the same frequency band.Please investigate the environment to use this module beforehand.
• Disassembling or modifying the radio module leads to punishment based on radio law.
• This module is the embedded module that has the exposed connectors or some devices.Please be
careful for electro static, condensing, and other dusts.
• “The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how
to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates
this module.”
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example co-location with
another transmitter), then the FCC / IC authorization is no longer considered valid and the
FCC / IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator
will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining
a separate FCC / IC authorization. As long as a condition above is met, further transmitter
test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for
example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.
