Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the
following
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• 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 for a class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications
Commission (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 different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION! You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to
operate the equipment.

Safety statements
Regulatory Information/Disclaimers
Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance
with the instructions included in the user documentation provided with the
product. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this
device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible
for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of
this device, or the substitution of the connecting cables and equipment other
than manufacturer specified. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any
interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or
attachment. Manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors will
assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations
arising from failing to comply with these guidelines.
CAUTION! To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance [20cm]
between the radiator and your body. Use on the supplied antenna.
Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the
transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
Safety Information
In order to maintain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines, this
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance [20cm]
between the radiator and your body. Use only with supplied antenna.
Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the
transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
CAUTION! Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authorization to use this device.
MPE Statement
Your device contains a low power transmitter. When device is transmitted it
sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signal.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure
This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET
65C and found compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections
2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247(b)(4) addressing RF Exposure from radio
frequency devices. The radiation output power of this Wireless LAN device is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device
shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during
normal operation – as a mobile or portable device but use in a body-worn way
is strictly prohibit. When using this device, a certain separation distance
between antenna and nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure
compliance. In order to comply with the RF exposure limits established in the
ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user
should not be less than [20cm].
RF Exposure
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Network setup
The ASUS USB Wireless LAN Adapter may be used in both Ad-hoc and
Infrastructure network types. The following sections describe the device
functions in these network types.
Ad-hoc network
In an Ad-hoc network type, the device connects to another wireless LAN
adapter in a wireless network. No access point (AP) is present in this wireless
environment.
Determine your network settings before installing the device to avail all its
features. The following network settings are recommended.
Infrastructure network
In an Infrastructure network, the wireless network is centered on an access
point (AP) that provides a central link for wireless clients to communicate with
each other or with a wired network.

System requirements
Before installing the ASUS USB Wireless LAN Adapter, make sure that your
system meets the following requirements:
• Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD K7/K8 system
• Minimum 64MB system memory
• Windows® 98SE/ME/2000/XP operating system
• Optical drive (for software installation)
• An available USB port (USB 2.0 recommended because USB 1.1 cannot
achieve maximum wireless performance)
Installing the device drivers
To install the device driver in your computer:
