Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR MOTOROLA WDE1000/1100.

RF Operational Characteristics

Your Motorola product contains a radio frequency transmitter to convey the information you wish to send as well as occasional automatic signals used to sustain connection to the wireless network, and a receiver which enables you to receive communication and connection information from the network.

Antenna Care (WDE1000 only)

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio product and may violate FCC regu lations. When using any approved accessory antenna, position it at least eight inches (20 cm) from any part of any person. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio product is "IN USE". Holding the antenna affects communication quality and may cause the product to operate at a higher power level than needed.

FCC ID: AZ489FT7016 MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your WDE1000 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission lim its for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Govern ment. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The

standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for WDE1000 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the WDE1000 transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the WDE1000 while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the WDE1000 is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. Before a WDE1000 model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this WDE1000 with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this WDE1000 is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: AZ489FT7016. (1) In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for modems used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measure ments.

General Description

The Wireless Devi ce Enab le r (WDE) CardBus adaptor, referred to throughout this manual as WDE1000 and the Mini PCI that is referred to as WDE1100, provides modem functionality so that a client is able to access the WLAN communication services provided by the system network.

This network is an adaptation of an 802.11 System, which provides wireless access to an IP network using the 4.9 GHz licensed / 2.4 GHz unlicensed spectrum. The system enables the WLAN user to transmit and receive data at rates of up to 54 Megabits per second (Mbps) by using a version of the

802.11a standard which is adapted for use in the 4.9 GHz band, or 802.11b/g standard for the 2.4 GHz

band. The WDE is supplied in one of two forms:

• A CardBus adaptor, which is also known by its more generic label as a PCMCIA card (WDE1000).

• A Mini PCI card. Mini PCI cards are commonly used to add WLAN functionality to notebook computers such that the function is fully enclosed by the housing of the notebook (WDE1100).

In this manual we refer to the CardBus form (WDE1000) that has

NOTE

The WDE1000/1100 has the following high level features:

• 2.4 GHz/4.9 GHz band coverage.

• 100 mW typical transmit power at 4.9 GHz and 63 mW at 2.4 GHz.

• FCC 4.9 GHz high power mask.

• Power save mode (for infrastructure communication mode only).

• 802.11e QoS support (EDCA only).

• Two internal antennas and two connectors for external antennas.

• Switched Rx antenna diversity.

• PCMCIA (32 bit) card.

The WDE1000/1100 supports two operational communication modes:

• Infrastructure - The WDE1000/1100 communicates with the network via system infrastructure.

• Ad-hoc - The WDE1000/1100 communicates with another nearby WDE1000, without using sys-

tem infrastructure.

A Motorola Client Utility (MCU) application, used with the WDE1000/1100 allows configuration and monitoring of the connection. A system tray allows WDE1000/1100 status monitoring.
