1.0 Scope
1.1 Document
This document is to specify the product requirements for 802.11b/g MIMOMini-PCI Card. This Mini-PCI Card is
based on Ralink RT2800 chipset that complied with 802.11n draft 1.0 standard from 2.4~2.5GHz, and it can be used
to provide up to 11Mbps for IEEE 802.11b and 54Mbps for 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11g to connect your wireless LAN.
With seamless roaming, fully interoperability and advanced security with WEP standard, 802.11b/g MIMOMini-
PCI Card offers absolute interoperability with different vendors’ 802.11b/g MIMO Access Points through the
wireless LAN.

"Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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 ge nerates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not inst alled and used in accor dance 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 bet ween 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.

FCC Statements:
1. 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.
2. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
3. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment.
4. This compliance to FCC radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment,
and minimum of 20 cm separation between antenna and body.
