Regulatory notes and statements

Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN
devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than
the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example
mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety
standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be
restricted in some situations or environments for example:

·On board of airplanes, or

·In an explosive environment, or

·In case the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or
identified as harmful

In case the policy regarding the use of Wireless LAN devices in specific
organizations or environments (e.g. airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas
industrial plants, private buildings etc.) is not clear, please ask for
authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.

Regulatory Information/disclaimers

Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance
with the instructions included in the user documentation provided with the
product. Any changes or modifications made to this device that are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. The Manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized modification of this device, of

USA-FCC (Federal Communications Commission) statement

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of this device.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement

This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET
65 and found compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections

2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF Exposure from radio
frequency devices. The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device
shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during
normal operation is minimized.

When nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance, in
order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1
standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less
than 20 cm.

FCC 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. If not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 and correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

iii

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Export restrictions

This product or software contains encryption code that may not be exported or
transferred from the US of Canada without an approved US Department of
Commerce export license.

Safety Information

Your device contains a low power transmitter. When device is transmitted it
sends out radio frequency (RF) signal.

CAUTION: To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator and your body. Use on the supplied antenna.
Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the
transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

CE Mark Warning

This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required
to take adequate measures.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter.
This manual helps to get familiar with the Wireless PCI Adapter. This manual

contains detailed instructions in operation of this product. Please keep this
manual for future reference.

With a Wireless (IEEE 802.11g) PCI Adapter, a computer or a station can
communicate with another computer in a wireless way. Easy-to-use utilities
are bundled with Wireless PCI Adapter for configuration, monitoring, and
diagnosis purposes.

Wireless PCI Adapter can wirelessly transmit and receive data, minimizing
the need for wired connections, at a speed of up to eleven megabit per second.
With Wireless PCI Adapter, you can locate your PC or station wherever you
want without wires and cables.

Wireless PCI Adapter provides users with an access to real-time information
anywhere in their organization. The mobility provides productivity and
service, which are not available under wired networks. The Wireless PCI
Adapter configuration is easy to change from peer-to-peer networks, suitable
for a small number of users, to full infrastructure networks of thousands of
users that allow roaming around a broad area.
