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.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

INTRODUCTION TO CARDBUS
Cardbus is the next generation 32-bit version
issued by PCMCIA PC Card standard. In addition
to support a wider bus (32 bits instead of 16 bits),
CardBus also supports bus mastering and
operation speeds up to 33 MHz. The 132M Bytes
bus transfer rate (compares with legacy 16-bit I/0
PC Card, 20MByte) provides the mobile user to
enjoy the high-bandwidth network connection.
A Mobil computer, which equipped with CardBus
and properly configured, is the fundamental
requirement to use the CardBus 10/100M PC Card.
To make sure about this point, please follow the
guideline listed below:
Cardbus is designed to support both 16-bit
and Cardbus Card. But the legacy 16-bit PC
Card slot couldn't accept the CardBus PC
Card. In order to prevent the wrong operation,
CardBus is thus developed with particular
mechanical consideration to prevent it fit into
the legacy 16-bit PC Card Slot. If you can't
insert the CardBus 10/100 PC Card into the
slot firmly reaching the bottom, your
notebook probably hasn’t the capability to
support CardBus technology. Please check
your notebook manual for detail information.

Due to variant design of notebook computers,
some models implement a setting in the
Computer’s BIOS to switch between Cardbus
and 16-bit PC Card modes. You could consult
the User’s Guide of your notebook and
properly set on the CardBus or Auto_Detect
mode.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Inserting the CardBus Dual-Speed PC Card
1. Hold the CardBus PC Card with wide
connector toward the slot and the brand label
facing upward.
2. Insert the CardBus PC Card and push it firmly
into the bottom. (Please see the following
figure for reference)
Removing the CardBus Dual-Speed PC Card
It’s quite different for various computer
mechanical designs. Please refer to the PC Card
removal instruction in the document for your
notebook computer.
