FCC Warning
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 radiat e radio frequency energy and, if not install ed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to r adio
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.
The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall 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 Radiation Exposure St atement: This equ ipment complies with FCC RF radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its antenna must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Your device contains a low power transmitter. When device is transmitted it sends out
RadioFrequency (RF) signal.

CE Warning
European standards dictate maximum radiated transmit power of 100mW EIRP and
frequency range 2.400-2.4835GHz; In France, the equipment must be restricted to the
2.4465-2.4835GHz frequency range and must be restricted to ind oor use.
For the following equipment: WCB61RL
Is herewith confirmed to comply with the requirements set out in the Council Directive on
the Approximation of the Laws of the Member States relating to Electro magnet ic
Compatibility (89/336/EEC), Low-voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) and the Amendment
Directive (93/68/EEC), the procedures given in European Counc il Direct ive 99/5/EC and
89/3360EEC.
The equipment was passed. The test was performed according to the following Eu ropean

1. Introduction
This Wireless LAN Cardbus Adapter is designed to comply with IEEE 802.11g
Wireless LAN standard and easy to carry with the compact size. It is suitable
for any laptop computers and provides maximum data transfer rate up to 54
Mbps. This Cardbus Adapter supports WEP, WPA and AES high level WLAN
security features the guarantee the best security for users. It also supports
Windows OS Plug & Play and Cardbus Hot Swap which allows user plug in or
remove it without rebooting the system.
Wireless LAN Cardbus Adapter operates with Microsoft Windows operating
systems such as Windows XP/2000/ME/98SE, it is capable to operate with
Ad-hoc mode (pier to pier without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode
(computer to access point, an access point is required).
Ad-hoc Mode: An Ad-hoc network is a local area network with wireless or
temporary plug-in connections which some of the network devices are part of
the network only for the duration of a communication session. Users in the
network can share files, network printer and access the Internet with a shared
modem. In this kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however,
users can only communicate with other wireless LAN computers that are in this
wireless LAN workgroup within operating range.
Ad-hoc Mode
Infrastructure Mode: The different between Infrastructure network and
Ad-hoc network is that Infrastructure network has an Access Point. In the
Infrastructure network, the Access Point can manage to perform the maximum
bandwidth utilization. The Access Point allows Wireless LAN users to access
an existing wired network. The wireless users to take advantage of the wired
networks resources such as Internet, file transfer and network printer.
