Notifications  FCC ID:N6C-SXPCEAN  IC          :4908B-SXPCEAN  NOTICE Federal Communication Interference Statement    (United States only) 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:  • Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna   •  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver   •  Connect the equipment to 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  This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.   Canadian Depertment of Communications Industry Canada Notice (Canada only) This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.   FCC Rules, Part 15./ Industry Canadian This device complies with Part  15 of  FCC Rules and Industry Canada  licence-exempt RSS  standard(s). Operation  is subject to the following two conditions:  •  This device may not cause harmful interference, and •  This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.  Le présent appareil est conforme aux la partie 15 des règles de la FCC et CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :    • l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et   • l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est   susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
 SX-PCEAN  User’s  Manual   Date:July  23,  2012   (12/13) CONFIDENTIAL © silex technology, Inc. This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).  Cet  équipement  est  conforme  aux  limites  d’exposition  aux  rayonnements  énoncées  pour  un  environnement  non contrôlé et respecte les règles les radioélectriques (RF) de la FCC lignes directrices d'exposition dans le Supplément C à OET65 et d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement doit être installé et  utilisé  en  gardant  une  distance  de  20  cm  ou  plus  entre  le  dispositif  rayonnant  et  le  corps  (à  l’exception  des extrémités : mains, poignets, pieds et chevilles).  Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.  Conformément  à  la  réglementation  d'Industrie  Canada,  le  présent  émetteur  radio  peut  fonctionner  avec  une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de  réduire  les  risques  de  brouillage  radioélectrique  à  l'intention  des  autres  utilisateurs,  il  faut  choisir  le  type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.  This radio transmitter 4908B-SXPCEAN has been approved by Industry Canada 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.  Le présent émetteur radio 4908B-SXPCEAN a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne  énumérés  ci-dessous  et  ayant  un  gain  admissible  maximal  et  l'impédance  requise  pour  chaque  type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.  For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible. This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.35GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor environment only. Antenna information: Sleeve Antenna: 1.5dBi (2.4GHz), 2.1dBi (5GHz)                  Frequency Tolerance:+/-20ppm  WARNING: The FCC / The Industry Canada regulations provide that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  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-SXPCEAN"  and  a  “Contain  IC: 4908B-SXPCEAN” 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(Class III, IV), high reliability security instruments or   any other devices required extremely high reliability and quality. In the case embedded into the medical instrument, please ask to   silex despite the medical class.  ・  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.
