About US40a 9
Wireless Antennas
The wireless antennas send out signals from wireless devices installed in US40a and receive signals sent from external devices.
These antennas cannot be viewed from the outside of US40a.
NOTE: Make the LCD panel of US40a remain opened. This can avoid
any obstacles against the antennas before wireless connection is established.
IMPORTANT: The wireless devices installed in US40a are designed
so that their frequencies may not exceed the limit of the exposure to the radio frequency recommended by the international guideline (ICNIRP). The SAR (specific absorption rate), the rate at which the radio frequency energy is absorbed into body issues, largely depends on the distance between the origin of radio frequency (antenna) and a human body.
The wireless devices meet the international guideline about the exposure of radiated radio frequency only when the distance between the antenna and a human body is at least 2 to 3 cm.
USB2.0 Ports
Three USB ports are located on US40a to allow peripherals conforming to the USB standard (e.g. printers and DVD drives) to be connected to US40a.
IMPORTANT: The USB ports always supply 5VDC power to
external USB devices connected to the ports while the system power is off. Accordingly, the USB devices can always be charged without the system power. In order to prevent the battery power from being discharged fully in the system power-off status, disconnect external USB devices from the USB ports if they are not used.
10 About US40a
Express Card Slot
Only by inserting a memory card or a simply replaceable device into this Express Card slot, you can add a hardware feature provided by a storage device, a wired or wireless communication card or a safety device to US40a.
US40a can accept two types of Express Cards, or Express Card/34mm (width 34 mm) and Express Card/54 mm (width 54 mm and L shape). The connectors on Express Cards of both types have the same width (34 mm).
Standard cards are 75 mm in length (shorter than that of CardBus by 10.6 mm) and 5 mm in thickness. Portions extended outward from the standard shape of the card due to an antenna or socket may be thicker than 5 mm.
Inserting Express Card into Express Card Slot
Insert an Express Card into the Express Card slot in the following steps:
1. Align the Express Card to the connector so that the connector of the card faces the slot.
The arrow or the label shows the top side of the Express Card.
2. Slide the Express Card in the slot and press firmly until it is completely seated in its
connector.
3. The Express Card is automatically detected and a proper driver is installed.
The system may request you to use the driver supplied by the manufacturer. If this occurs, insert the driver CD coming with the Express Card.
To inform you of success in the installation, US40a beeps twice.
Ejecting Express Card from Express Card Slot
Press the Express Card to eject it from the Express Card slot.
AC Power Port
Connect the AC adapter coming with US40a to this AC power port to supply AC power.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to use the AC adapter and the 2-pin power
cord coming with US40a. Using another adapter and/or power cord may cause the system to be damaged even if they seem to be the same as the attached ones.
