U.S. Regulatory Wireless Notice

Federal Communication Commission Interference 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 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.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada applicable
aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux
deux conditions suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage
préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris
un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.

Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les
conditions suivantes: (Pour utilisation de dispositif module)

1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est

The 11b/g/n 1T2R WLAN Mini Card is a device that allows you
connect your computer to a wireless local area network (LAN). A wireless LAN
allows your system to use wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology to transmit
and receive data without physically attaching to the network. The Wireless
protocols that come with this product ensure data security and isolation from
interference generated by other radio frequencies.

This card also allows you to take full advantage of your computer’s mobility with
access to real-time information and online services anytime and anywhere. In
addition, this device eliminates the bother of pulling cable through walls and
under furniture. It even allows you to place your system in locations where
cabling is impossible. Modifying and augmenting networks has never been so
easy.

Wireless Network Options

The Peer-to-Peer Network

This network installation lets you set a small wireless workgroup easily and
quickly. Equipped with wireless PC Cards or wireless PCI, you can share files
and printers between each PC and laptop.

-

1 -

You can also use one computer as an Internet Server to connect to a wired global
network and share files and information with other computers via a wireless LAN.

The Access Point Network

The network installation allows you to share files, printers, and Internet access
much more conveniently. With Wireless LAN Cards, you can connect wireless
LAN to a wired global network via an Access Point.
