installation process for this mode of operation is to insert the AL5616 into an available USB port. The second option is Host Wire Adapter
(HWA) mode. This mode requires installation of the Wireless USB Manager.

1.2 FCC requirements for information to the user.
The users manual or instruction manual shall caution the user that changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the
party responsible for the grant of equipment authorization issued by the FCC could void the user's authority to operate the equipment under
the grant of equipment authorization:
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Alereon could void the users authority to operate
the device under the FCC Equipment Authorization.
The users manual or instruction manual shall contain this information about interference control:
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers
the function of radio navigation or other safety service (the telephone and cellphones are considered to be safety services) or seriously
degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include but are not
limited to: AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air traffic control, pager and personal communications services
(PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computer systems, contribute to the
electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electromagnetic
environment. While this device has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause interference with radio communications
services, which can be determined by turning the device on and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•Re orient the receiving antenna
•Relocate the device with respect to the victim receiver
•Move the device away from the victim receiver
•Plug the device host into a different power outlet than the victim receiver so that the device system and receiver are on separate
branch circuits
If necessary, consult your system service representative or an experienced radio/television technician for additional help in resolving
interference.
