Tips for Wi-Fi users
With a Wi-Fi connection, you can roam about 150 m
around the access point (depends on different
environment), so find a spot where you can work
without any interruption. Then see how much work you
can do, such as:
z Easily and quickly receive and transmit files within
your local network — no problem for big files.
z Access your email and surf the web with the same
speed as that connected with network cables.
z Synchronize data between devices.
z Take advantage of wireless printing — send files
directly from your laptop PC to a wireless printer
over Wi-Fi connection.
Page 12
User’s Manual Wireless USB Adapter
Warning
Wi-Fi offers greater speed and range than Bluetooth,
but it drains your portable device batteries a lot faster
than Bluetooth does. In fact, if you use a Wi-Fi
connection regularly on your laptop PC, you'll
undoubtedly notice that you need to recharge more
often. If you need to conserve battery life — on a long
trip for example — turn off your Wi-Fi connection when
you don't actually need it.
Security
Because wireless networks rely on radio signals to
transmit data, they are not as secure as wire network.
Wireless networks are susceptible to viruses and
breaches like eavesdropping and need to be protected
in order to be secure.
There are many security measures to safeguard
wireless networks, protect the data, and keep
unauthorized users out. Hotspots, on the other hand,
are often free of standard security practices in an effort
to make it easy for anyone to connect. It may be found
that some pay hotspots administered by service
providers offer have some level of security, however,
when using a hotspot, it’s always a good idea to be
proactive and to employ security measures of your
own.

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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part y
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
RF warning statement:
The device has been evaluated to meet general RF
exposure requirement. The device can be used in
portable exposure condition without restriction.
Your USB WIFI is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
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 wireless mobile USB WIFIs employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted with the USB WIFI
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
Page 17
User’s Manual Wireless USB Adapter
at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the USB WIFI while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is
because the USB WIFI is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output. Before a USB WIFI 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 (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this
model USB WIFI when tested for use at the body is
0.264 W/Kg While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various USB WIFI
and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC
has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model USB WIFI with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
USB WIFI 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: ZLJRT5370S03.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Page 18
User’s Manual Wireless USB Adapter
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA)
web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the
United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile USB
WIFI 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 measurements.
