be less than 2.5cm (1 inch) during normal operation.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Exposure Requirements

SAR compliance has been established in the laptop computer(s) configurations with
PCMCIA slot on the side near the center, as tested in the application for Certification,
and can be used in laptop computer(s) with substantially similar physical dimensions,
construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. Use in other devices such a PDAs
or lappads is not authorized. This transmitter is restricted for use with the specific
antenna(s) tested in the application for Certification. The antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Hawking Hi-Gain 6dBi Directional USB Wireless-G
Network Adapter. This Hi-Gain Wireless-G USB Adapter is designed to comply with
the IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN standard and has enough power to extend the reach
of your wireless network. The integration of Hawking’s proven Hi-Gain 6dBi
Directional Antenna makes the HWU54D a very powerful wireless adapter capable of
obtaining wireless distances up to 2 times that of normal Wireless-G cards. The
HWU54D is also very versatile thanks to its USB 2.0 interface making it compatible
with both laptops and desktops.

This adapter supports the highest security standards to maintain a secure wireless
connection within your wireless network. Along with the standard 64, 128, 256-bit
WEP encryption, the HWU54D also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) which
combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. WPA
enables client authentication and key verification, ensuring that your wireless
environment is controlled and secured. This adapter has a built-in AES engine which
ensures the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and is
the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for WiFi security.
