technology which makes wireless network setup become very simple. If
you have WPS-enabled wireless access point, and you want to
establish a secure connection to it, you don’t have to configure the
wireless access point and setup data encryption by yourself. All you
have to do is to go to the WPS setup page of this wireless card, click a
button, and then press a specific button or enter a set of 8-digit code on

43

All brands and logos are registered trademarks of their respective owners

WNP-UA300P-01

HIGH POWER USB WIFI ADAPTER

the wireless access point you wish to establish a secure connection ­just three simple steps!

For older wireless access points, it’s possible to perform a firmware
upgrade to become a WPS-enabled access point. Since they may not
have a hardware button to press for WPS setup, you can use an
alternative WPS setup method - input the pin code. Every WPS­compatible wireless network card support pin code configuration
method; you can just input the code to wireless access point, and the
wireless access point and wireless network card will do the rest for you.

This wireless network card is compatible with WPS. To use this
function, the wireless access point you wish to connect to must support
WPS function too. Now, please follow the following instructions to
establish secure connection between WPS-enabled wireless access
point and your wireless network card.

This wireless network card supports 2 kinds of WPS: PIN code and
Push-Button.

Please follow the following instructions to setup WPS:

1. Right-click Client configuration utility icon, and click ‘Open Config

Utility’.

GARANTIE VOORWAARDEN

CONDITIONS DE GARANTIE

Op de aankoopbon moeten de aankoopdatum en

productomschrijving duidelijk vermeld staan.

Gelieve de aankoopbon de gehele

garantieperiode te bewaren, deze is ten alle

tijden benodigd voor alle garantie aanspraken.

Tijdens de garantieperiode zullen alle gebreken

verholpen of vervangen worden door de fabrikant

d.m.v. reparatie, omruiling van het defecte

onderdeel of het gehele apparaat. Aanspraken

tijdens de garantieperiode leiden niet tot

verlenging hiervan. Garantieaanspraak vervalt bij

schade of gebreken die ontstaan zijn door

oneigenlijk gebruik, misbruik of invloeden van

buitenaf (vallen, stoten, water, stof, vuil of

breken). Slijtagegevoelige onderdelen (b.v.

batterijen) zijn uitgesloten van garantie. Bij

ontvangst van de RMA goederen behoudt

Gembird zich het recht om te kiezen tussen
vervanging van de defecte waren of het uitgeven
van een kreditnota. Het bedrag van de kreditnota

zal altijd gecalculeerd zijn op basis van de

huidige marktprijs voor het defecte produkt.

Le talon de garantie doit énumérer clairement la date

d'achat et le type d'appareil.

Conservez le reçu d'achat pendant toute la durée de la

garantie car elle est nécessaire pour toute réclamation.

Au cours de la période de garantie tous les défauts

doivent être remplacé aux frais du fabricant, soit par la

réparation ou la remplacement de la pièce défectueuse

ou l'ensemble du produit. Les travaux effectués sous

garantie ne prolongent pas la période de garantie ni ne

commencent pas une nouvelle période de garantie.

Le fabricant se réserve le droit d'annuler toute demande

de garantie pour les dommages ou défauts dus à une

mauvaise utilisation, abus ou les effets externes (chute,

choc, pénétration de l'eau, la poussière, etc..).

Les pièces d'usure (par exemple les piles rechargeables)

sont exclus de la garantie.

Dès réception de la marchandise sous garantie, le SAV

de Gembird Europe BV se réserve le droit de choisir

entre le remplacement des produits défectueux ou de

délivrer un avoir.

Le montant d’avoir sera toujours calculée sur la base de

la valeur actuelle du marché des produits défectueux.
