Safety

To optimize safety and expedite installation and service, read this document thoroughly. Follow all warnings, cautions, and instructions marked on the equipment and included in this document.

To aid in the prevention of injury and damage to property, cautionary symbols have been placed in this document to alert the reader to known potentially hazardous situations, or hazards to equipment or procedures. The symbols are placed before the information to which they apply. However, any situation that involves heavy equipment and electricity can become hazardous, and caution and safety should be practiced at all times when installing, servicing, or operating the equipment.

Caution Symbol - possible equipment or property damage.

Warning Symbol - could cause personal injury or otherwise be hazardous to your health

Navini Networks, Inc., expressly requires that when using Navini electronic equipment always follow the basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to people and/or property.

1.Follow all warnings and instructions that come with the equipment.

2.Do not use the equipment while you are in a bathtub, shower, pool, or spa. Exposure of the equipment to water could cause severe electrical shock or serious damage to the equipment.

3.Do not allow any type of liquid to come in contact with the equipment. Unplug the equipment from the power source before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use any soaps or liquid cleaners.

4.Follow all airport and FAA regulations when using the equipment on or near aircraft.

5.Do not use the PMX near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the PMX must be powered off.

6.The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the PMX while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of the vehicle.

7.Do not disassemble the equipment. Removing covers exposes dangerous voltages or other risks and also voids the warranty. Incorrect reassembly can cause equipment damage or electrical shock. Only an authorized repair technician should service this product.

8.Do not expose the equipment to extreme hot or cold temperatures.

9.Do not use the equipment under the following conditions:

•When the equipment has been exposed to water or moisture.

•When the equipment has been damaged.

•When the equipment does not operate properly or shows a distinct change in performance.

Regulatory Information

This Ripwave MX PC Card (PMX) has been tested with a typical laptop computer with a side loading PCMCIA bay. This PMX must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any antenna (other than the one furnished by Navini and included in the package) or transmitter. Use of this device in any other configuration may exceed the FCC, ETSI, or other regulatory bodies RF Exposure compliance limit.

If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user should try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1)Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,

2)Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver,

3)Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for additional suggestions.

FCC guidelines stipulate that the antenna should be more than 2.5 cm (1”) from bystanders and 1.2 cm (0.472”) from the user. When in use, the antenna should be pointed vertically upward. When using the Desktop Antenna with the PMX, a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) is required from the user or bystander.

This product conforms with the Australian Standard for Human Exposure to Radiation at a distance of 2.5 cm. Closer contact; such as touching the aerial will result in radiation in excess of safe limits.

SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate, is the measurement for the rate at which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by the human body during exposure. The FCC states the body SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg. The highest reported SAR value for the PMX card is 0.73 W/kg.

Note: 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 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.

Introduction

Package

Inventory

Congratulations! Your Ripwave MX PC Card (PMX) is a userfriendly, easy-to-install device that helps you connect wirelessly to the Internet using the PCMCIA port on your laptop computer. The PMX can work with today’s MC-SCDMA technology and the OFDM-based 802.16e technology that Navini is trialing this year. The PMX provides complete broadband Internet access to residential and small or home office users without the necessity of professional hardware installation.

The PMX provides portable Internet service. A computer with the PMX Card can be moved from room-to-room, location-to-location, or even city-to-city as long as there is coverage and appropriate reception in the area. This manual will guide you through the simple process of installing the PMX and its monitoring software.

Please verify the contents of your PMX Card package. Your package should contain the following:

•PMX Card

•PMX Quick Installation Guide

•Installation CD that includes the Navini Diagnostics (NavDiag) monitoring software, the PC drivers*, and the PMX User’s Guide

*The PC drivers are in two folders, one for Windows® Vista Operating Systems and one for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Operating Systems. When you insert the Card, per the installation instructions, the PC will detect the new drivers and automatically select the correct one.

WinVista Drivers:	netnnpcc_vista.inf
	netnnpcc_vista.sys

Win2K-XP Drivers: netnnpcc.inf netnnpcc.sys

If you do not find all of these items in your package, notify your supplier.
