FCC Warning
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.
v
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 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 equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 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.
!
RF Exposure Requirements
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna used for
this device 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 radio transmi tter . Instal l ers an d end- user s mus t foll ow the
installation instructions provided in this user guide.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the foll ow ing conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maint ained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other t ransmitter or antenna.
As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However,
the OEM integrator is still respons ibl e f or t est ing t heir end-product for any additional compliance
requirements required with thi s module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral
requirements, etc.).
IMPORTA NT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop
configurations or co-locatio n with another transmitter), then t he FCC authorization is no lo nger
considered valid and th e FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, t h e
OEM integrator will be responsible for re-ev al uat i ng t he end product (including the transmitter) and
Obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
This product limit antenna type to use KWF-144-120 ,KWF-613C-120 and KN-813A-120-1
End Product Labelling
This transmitter module is a ut horized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed such
that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for examp le acc ess points, routers,
wireless ASDL modems, and si mil ar equipment). The final end product must be l abeled in a visible
area with the following: “ Cont ai ns TX FCC ID: KA22002020 012-1 ”.
Manual Information That Must be Included
The users manual for end users must include the following in formation in a prominent locat io n “
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirem ent s, t he antenna used for
this transmitter must be inst alled to provide a separation d istance of at least 20 cm from all person s and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other ant enna or transmitter.”
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.
VCCI Class B Warning
Remark：

The D-Link WMP-A12 Wireless Network mini PCI Card is an IEEE 802.11a twochip solution reference design based on the Atheros AR5111 and AR5211
chipset. This reference design implements a half-duplex, Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) baseband processor supporting all IEEE 802.11a
data rates (6 to 54 Mbps). It also supports the D-Link Turbo Mode
data rates up to 108 Mbps. The host interface is compatible with the PC Card 7.1
standard. You can find information regarding the D-Link Station Reference
Designs in the detailed D-Link STA Refere nce D esign Func tiona l Specification.

message. Click Yes to proceed wit h driver installation.
7. Click Finish t o complete the driver installation. See Section “Device
Configuration” for the device configuratio n.
Driver Installation (Previous Driver Installed)
If the system already has a previous release of the D-Link NDIS inst alled,
Windows does not prompt for the dev ice driver when the WLAN Card is
inserted. Follow the steps below to update the NDIS driver:
1. Start System Properti es from Control Panel. Under Hardware tab, click
Device Manager.
2. Within Device Manager, right -click “D-Link WMP-A12 Wireless Net w ork
