REGULATORY STATEMENTS
FCC Certification
The United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Department of Communications have
established certain rules governing the use of electronic
equipment.
Part15, Class B
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interface, and
2) This device must accept any interface received, including
interface that may cause undesired operation. 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, 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 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 distance between the equipment and receiver.
◗ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
CAUTION:
1) To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must
be maintained between the antenna of this device and all
persons.
2) This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
giving dynamic, mobile workforces the freedom to be
productive from any location across their company and
their homes. A wireless LAN standard called IEEE
802.11b (or Wi-Fi™) has emerged, delivering speeds
of up to 11 Mbps and the ability to create wireless
LANs that stretch from one end of the company to
another. This Credit Card Size Wireless CardBus PC
Card with built-in Antenna is designed for Microsoft
98/2000/Me/XP. Notebook Computers. Whether
you are on your porch outside, or in the bathroom of
your house or office, the Hawking 11M Wireless
CardBus PC Card lets you access the information you
need regardless of where you are.
Advatages of CardBus Technology
"CardBus" and "PC Card" are two alternative types of
PCMCIA interfaces (or slots) on laptops, desktops, and
PDAs. The PC Card is a 16-bit interface (20Mbps
-
1 -
transfers), while the CardBus is a 32-bit interface
(100Mbps+ transfers). The 32-bit interface of
CardBus supports higher data rates and, therefore, is
commonly used for high-speed networking devices.
It also offers lower power consumption: CardBus
Cards all operate at 3.3v while PC Cards operate at
either 5v or 3.3v. To simplify, the CardBus Card
allows for faster transfers with lower power
consumption: Efficiency!
