Peak Power Consumption
All power consumption figures for 3.3 V power supply. Power Consumption definitions are as follows:
• Peak Transmit (Tx). Power consumption during packet transmission (this is a “maximum”
number).
• Peak Receive (Rx). Power consumption during packet reception (this is a “maximum” number).
• Idle and Connected: Power consumption when a station is associated with an access point and
power save mode is set to maximum (i.e. the station is sleeping between beacons, this is an
average number).
• Idle and not Connected: Power consumption when a station has not associated with an access
point and power save mode is set to maximum (i.e. sleeping between scans, this is an average
number).

Typical Receiver Sensitivity
The following tables depict target Rx Sensitivity in dBm as defined in IEEE 802.11 specification(s).
NOTE: Tx Power and Rx Sensitivity alone are not sufficient to assess MIMO performance in a multipath
environment. The MIMO radio architecture and core DSP algorithms play a far greater role in determining
how well a MIMO radio performs -- a well architected MIMO radio with similar Rx sensitivity as a poorly
designed MIMO radio provides much better performance. Real world benchmark testing is required to
assess the performance of various MIMO radios.

Modular Installation
The 65-VE240-P1 is designed specifically for Broadband Gateways and other similar Access Point
applications. The 65-VE240-P1 uses a miniPCI connector for insertion into an attaching system. However,
the 65-VE240-P1 does not conform to the miniPCI PCB size or power restrictions
Below is a “typical” 65-VE240-P1 module installation:
• Align the miniPCI connector on the 65-VE240-P1 with the miniPCI receptacle on the attaching
system, taking care to fit the notch in the bottom left of the radio module with the tab on the
miniPCI receptacle on the attaching system (see Figure 4).
• Firmly press the radio card towards the attaching system until the clips engage.
• Disseminating end-user documentation for the installation/removal of the 65-VE240-P1 is
expressly prohibited by regulatory statues.

Product Labeling
The 65-VE240-P1 radio transmitter module is authorized only for use in a device where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm can be maintained between the antenna and the users. End-user products
containing 65-VE240-P1 modul es
This product contains FCC ID: J9C-65VE240P1 module
Product Usage
This device is intended only for OEM/ODM integrators under the following conditions:
1. The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users.
2. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
3. Use only authorized antenna(s) as described in the FCC filing under FCCID: J9C-65VE240P1
MUST have affixed to their labels the following phrase:
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
The OEM/ODM integrator is responsible for testing their product for any additional compliance mand ates
required when this module is installed within an end-user product.
i IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met,
then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID
number cannot be used on the final product and thus the OEM/ODM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including
the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

Product Documentation
Following RF exposure information shall be supplied in end-users manual for products containing the 65VE240-P1:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antennas
used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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.
