About This User Manual
This user manual provides detailed specifications, diagrams and additional information required to install
the SX-SDWAG 802.11a/b/g SDIO module into a product. The intended audiences are the developers
and engineers responsible for the integration of the module in another product.
Safety Precautions
To prevent damage to the SX-SDWAG module’s electronic circuit components, follow established
ESD practices and procedures for handling static-sensitive devices. All ESD-sensitive components
must be stored and shipped in ESD-conductive bags or bubble-wrap and labeled as such using the
standardized ESD adhesive warning label.
Ethernet electrical wiring must be at least 6 feet from bare power wiring or lightning rods and
associated wires, and at least 6 inches from other types of wire (antenna wires, doorbell wires, wires
from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot water pipes, and heating devices.
Protectors and grounding wire placed by the service provider must not be connected to, removed, or
modified by the customer.
Emissions Disclaimer
Final emission certification per FCC, CE and other agency requirements are the responsibility of the OEM
(refer to chapter 2 for additional information).
