Welcome

TheASUS WLAN mini-PCI card is designed to be fully compliant with the

IEEE 802.11b wireless local area network (Wireless LAN) standard. The

ASUS WLAN mini-PCI card comes with two antenna connectors, which

are individually connected to the built-in antennas in your notebook. The

two antennas allow your notebook to have the best communication when

you are enjoying the wireless link.

Right-click My Network Placeon the desktop and select properties.

Scroll down and look for "TCP/IP -> ASUS 802.11b Network Adap-

ter". Make sure that the TCP/IP protocal parameters (IP adress, gate-

way, and subnet mask) are set correctly.

Open the Control Panelthrough the Start menu. Double-click Network

Connection icon. Right click " ASUS 802.11b Network Adapter" and sel-

Installing the WLAN mini-PCI card Utilities

After you have installed the WLAN mini-PCI card driver, you can install

WLAN mini-PCI card utilities. Refer to the User's manual for detailed

information.

1. Insert the ASUS WLAN mini-PCI card support CD and an autorun

menu will appear. If your autorun is disabled, double click SETUP.EXE

in the root directory of the support CD.

2. From the autorun menu, click Install ASUS WLAN mini-PCI card

Utilities.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Statement

This device is intended only for OEM 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. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to ensure that the

proper spacing is maintained in the event the device is used in held-on-

lap positions (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in the upper

portion of the LCD panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the

user places the device on their lap for use).

The card must cease to transmit with the lid shut to prevent transmission

in portable operating conditions.

As long as the conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be

required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their

end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this

module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral

requirements, etc.).

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met

(for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another

transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and

the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances,

the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product

(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

End Product Labeling

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the

antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the

antenna and users (for example access points, routers, wireless ADSL

modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in

a visible area with the following: "Contains TX FCC ID:

MSQPCCWL120".

Statement

Manual Information for End Users:

The end user must not have manual instructions to remove or install the

device. The user manual for end users must include the following

information in a prominent location

"IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements, the antenna 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."
