1-2 FCC Notice

FCC Compliance

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company. If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
Telephone Company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will be
notify in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will notified as soon as possible.
You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be
notified in advance to give you an opportunity you maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
The FCC prohibits this equipment’s should fail to operate properly, disconnect the equipment
from the phone line to determine if it is causing the problem. If the problem is with the
equipment, discontinue use and contact your dealer or vendor.

FCC Class B Statement

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 the 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.

Caution: the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

FCC RF Safety Requirement :
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this device complies with the FCC guidelines and these international
standards. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could result in violation of FCC regulations. This
device can not co-locate or operate with any other transmitter, such as PCMCIA radio
card.

Notice: The device will automatically discontinue transmission in case of either

absence of information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not

intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of

repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete frame of burst

intervals.

Laptop Computer Operation:

This device was tested with Quantatw laptop (Model ZG1S), Quantatw Laptop

(Model ZI1S) and Compal laptop (Model L1S) for typical body-worn operations with

the device directly contracted to the human body to the back and side of the laptop

computer. This device cannot be used in other laptops. To maintain compliance with

FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, maintain at least 1.5 cm to nearby

person.

Note:

1. T60H677 is for OEM installation only.

2. OEM integrators are instructed to ensure that the End-User has NO manual

instructions

to remove or install the device (EUT).

The following sections describe the Wireless Network Configuration Utility.

This utility provides quick access and friendly interface to configure the card setup.

2-1 Windows 98/ME/2000 Wireless Utility

After installation is completed, a Wireless LAN Utility icon will appear in task bar

screen. Click it, then you will see the screen below. If you cannot find the icon, you

can select “Start” ->”Program”->”Wireless LAN Configuration Utility” Icon.

Card Status

You can see the some information that your card connected. In this page you also can

find information like TX/RX Rate, Current Channel, Throughput, MAC Address

and Frequency Domain.

ESSID: An acronym for Extended Service Set Identifier, ESSID is the unique name

shared among all clients and Access Points in a wireless network. The ESSID must be

identical for all clients or Access Points participating in the same network. The

ESSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Press ‘Rescan’ it will
