Federal Communication 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 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.

FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface
cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate this equipment.

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.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This module is restricted to mobile configuration. To comply with FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This
transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter

Industry Canada Statement

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) This device may not cause interference

2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of

2.58 dBi. (Antenna gain)

Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada.
The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be
operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.

(Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing).

Manual Information That Must be Included

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
integrate this module.
The users manual for OEM integrators must include the following information in a
prominent location “ IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements. The antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this CardBus Wireless LAN Card. This card is a wireless

network client that complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g standard on wireless LANs. The

IEEE 802.11b/g standards compliance means this adapter gives you the flexibility to

connect it to any 802.11g network. The IEEE 802.11b/g standard allows you to connect

computers and devices at speeds up to 54Mbps, dependent upon the distance

between wireless adapters, the configuration of your working environment, or the

capabilities or limitations of your computer systems.
