Federal Communications Commission Information for the User
This device complies with Part 15 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and radiates radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
CAUTION: The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating
at this frequency. Any changes or modification to said product not expressly approved by Xircom could
void the user's authority to operate this device.

Safety Notices
Caution! Use recommended battery charger. Follow manufacturer instructions to replace the
battery.
Caution! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by the incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Xircom Wireless LAN
Module for Palm Handhelds meets the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI
C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this online user guide
will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
• Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any
exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment
unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit date unless the antenna is connected; if not, the
radio may be damaged.
Warning for handheld users: In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is recommended,
when using a handheld computer with a wireless Ethernet module, that the module's integrated antenna
should not be positioned closer than 2 inches (5 cm) from your body or nearby persons for extended
periods of time while it is transmitting (or operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 2 inches (5
cm) from the user, it is recommended that user exposure time be limited.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.
