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.

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,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to

User
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 integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning
as show in this manual.
USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to
keep at least 20cm separation with the antenna while this end product is
installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC
radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be
satisfied. The end user has to also be informed that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.
The FCC part 15.19 statement below has to also be available in the
manual:
This device complies with Part 15 of 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.
LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following "
Contains TX FCC ID: N89-MW600BLO ".
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter
3
MW600-B-LO Wireless 802. 11b/g wireless PCI-E Adapter Card
or antenna,
3) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in
CH1 to CH1 1 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall
not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain
change.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral
requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met
(for
example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter),
then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can
not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator
will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter)
and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
