CE conformity
This product complies with the technical requirements of the 1999/5/EC
Directive (R&TTE) and is designed for use in the EU and Switzerland.
See the appendix to this manual for the declaration of conformity to the applicable standards
The sheer speed of development of computer technology over the last few
years has resulted in a huge increase in the volume of electronic data traffic.
More users every day want to send and receive a constantly increasing
volume of data. Conventional transmission technologies (analog modems or
ISDN devices) are no longer equal to the demand.
New technologies are eliminating the restrictions and are offering the user
true broadband communications at significantly higher transfer speeds. An
important criterion for the spread of these access technologies is their
availability in as many offices and private households as possible. One of the
new technologies is transfer by ADSL, which bridges the section of the
network that connects to the customer (“the last mile”) over standard copper
wires. ADSL can thus be used for broadband access to the Internet, for
example.
ADSL technology (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) uses three regions of
different sizes on the copper wire of a standard telephone line. Two regions
are used for data transmission and one for telephoning. The term
'asymmetric' indicates that the transmitting and receiving channels can carry
different quantities of data:
쎲 When the user surfs the Internet, the data sent to the provider tend to
쎲 To load multimedia content (video sequences, animations, images etc.)
carry less information (e. g. addresses of web sites or e-mails). The
transmission rate of up to 1 Mbps is generally sufficient for this purpose.
onto the computer from the Internet at acceptable quality and speed, a
transmission rate of up to 8 Mbps brings a significant saving in cost and
time.

USB port
Because of the USB port the MicroLink ADSL Fun USB does not require power
from an external power adapter. It is also automatically detected on installa
tion by plug&play.
Status display
The indicator lights (LEDs) of your MicroLink ADSL Fun USB adapter show the

1.3Firewall and virus scanner
Introduction
|
7
The MicroLink ADSL Fun USB is supplied with the Norman Internet Control
software. Norman Internet Control is a firewall and anti-virus program that
monitors your PC for malicious software, also referred to as malware. The
most common types of malware are viruses, worms, and trojans. For the sake
of simplicity, we often use the term virus as a collective description.
Norman Internet Control can detect and remove known and unknown viruses
from hard disks, floppy disks, e-mail attachments, etc. Norman Internet Con
trol checks files when they are accessed, and possible viruses are removed
automatically. If Norman Internet Control is unable to clean an infected file,
you will receive a warning and instructions on how to proceed.

conditions provided by law and in accordance with the following conditions:
1Warranty coverage
a) The warranty covers the equipment delivered and all its parts. Parts will, at devolo's sole
discretion, be replaced or repaired free of charge if, despite proven proper handling and ad
herence to the operating instructions, these parts became defective due to fabrication and/
or material defects. Alternatively, devolo reserves the right to replace the defective product
with a comparable product with the same specifications and features. Operating manuals
and possibly supplied software are excluded from the warranty.
b) Material and service charges shall be covered by devolo, but not shipping and handling
costs involved in transport from the buyer to the service station and/or to devolo.
c) Replaced parts become property of devolo.
d) devolo is authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g. firmware updates) beyond repair
and replacement of defective parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current tech
nical state. This does not result in any additional charge for the customer. A legal claim to
this service does not exist.
2Warranty period
The warranty period for this devolo product is three years. This period begins at the day of delivery from the devolo dealer. Warranty services carried out by devolo do not result in an extension
of the warranty period nor do they initiate a new warranty period. The warranty period for in
stalled replacement parts ends with the warranty period of the device as a whole.
3Warranty procedure
a) If defects appear during the warranty period, the warranty claims must be made immedi-
ately, at the latest within a period of 7 days.
b) In the case of any externally visible damage arising from transport (e.g. damage to the hous-
ing), the person carrying out the transportation and the sender should be informed immedi-
ately. On discovery of damage which is not externally visible, the transport company and
the sender are to be immediately informed in writing, at the latest within 3 days of delivery.
c) Transport to and from the location where the warranty claim is accepted and/or the repaired
device is exchanged, is at the purchaser's own risk and cost.
d) Warranty claims are only valid if a copy of the original purchase receipt is returned with the
device. devolo reserves the right to require the submission of the original purchase receipt.

4Suspension of the warranty
All warranty claims will be deemed invalid
a) if the label with the serial number has been removed from the device,
b) if the device is damaged or destroyed as a result of acts of nature or by environmental in-
fluences (moisture, electric shock, dust, etc.),
c) if the device was stored or operated under conditions not in compliance with the technical
specifications,
d) if the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially to non-observance of the sys-
tem description and the operating instructions,
e) if the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not contracted by devolo,

Appendix

f)if the device shows any kind of mechanical damage, or
g) if the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with 3a) or 3b).
5Operating mistakes
If it becomes apparent that the reported malfunction of the device has been caused by unsuitable
hardware, software, installation or operation, devolo reserves the right to charge the purchaser
for the resulting testing costs.
6Additional regulations
a) The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo's legal liability.
b) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as any refund in full or in part.
Compensation claims, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g.
injury to persons or damage to private property are specifically covered by the product lia
bility law, or in cases of intentional act or culpable negligence.
c) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequential detriments, are excluded.
d) devolo is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in cases of slight and ordinary neg-
ligence.
e) In the case that the intentional or culpable negligence of devolo employees has caused a
loss of data, devolo will be liable for those costs typical to the recovery of data where pe
riodic security data back-ups have been made.
f)The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not transferable.
g) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the case that the purchaser is a
merchant. If the purchaser does not have a court of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of
Germany or if he moves his domicile out of Germany after conclusion of the contract, devo
lo's court of jurisdiction applies. This is also applicable if the purchaser's domicile is not
known at the time of institution of proceedings.
h) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The UN commercial law does not
apply to dealings between devolo and the purchaser.
