command to a WiFi network card. After two seconds, the AP list will be updated with
the results of a BSS list scan. The AP list includes most used fields, such as SSID,
network type, channel used, wireless mode, security status and the signal percentage.
The arrow icon indicates the connected BSS or IBSS network. The dialog box is shown
below.
You could click the two buttons which red arrow pointed to open the “Site Survey” and
“Link Information” page to show detail information.

For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels
is not possible.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance
13
requirement of the end product, which integrates this module.
20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the host this
module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm separation with
the antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC
radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. The end user has to also
be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's
authority to operate this equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC
part 15.19 statement is required to be available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of 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.
LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID:
E2K-WPER-116GN". If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the following FCC part 15.19
statement has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
