Chapter 1. Product Overview 1-1. Introduction to The Wireless LAN Card This wireless Local Area Network (LAN) card is composed of the IEEE 802.11b MAC with CompactFlash interface, Baseband, radio components, and two built-in antennas. This product adopts the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology using the DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK modulations to provide a very stable wireless communication quality and an excellent signal receiver capability. This product features the compact size, low power consumption, and power management functions, and provides a high-speed wireless data communication. Therefore, this product is ideally suitable for being integrated into the personal mobile and handheld platform. 1-2. Features  Conforms to IEEE 802.11b specification.  Transmits data rate up to the maximum speed of 11Mbps.  Dynamically scales the data rate to 11, 5.5, 2, and 1Mbps.  Automatic power management to reduce battery consumption.  Built-in diversity antenna.  Supports 64-bit /128-bit WEP encryption.  Driver supports Windows CE3.0/4.1 and Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP. 1-3. Physical Dimensions/Packaging Dimensions: 55.4mm* 43mm* 3.3mm This wireless LAN card conforms to the Compact Flash Type I standard. There is one LED-indicating lights to indicate Act/Link status. 1

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: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) 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. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users must be provided with specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance." 6
