EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 14 of 21 DRAFT3COM WIRELESS USB DEVICEDESIGN AND INSTALLATION GUIDERegulatory Considerations:IntroductionThe 3Com wireless USB device is a radio transceiver that transmits and receives radiosignals in accordance with the spectrum regulations for the 2.4-GHz unlicensed frequency range.Each country throughout the world has regulations that govern where and how end-user operatesthe 3Com wireless USB device.As part of 3Com’s solution for USB wireless technology, 3Com will provide regulatoryapprovals for certain countries in the form of a modular approval grant, which can be utilized bymanufacturers. A modular grant allows the OEM to insert an approved device, with its antennainterconnection and antenna, into a laptop without the need for additional device certification.Where many models of host equipment may utilize the same 3Com wireless USB device, thisform of certification can represent a significant savings in terms of cost and time.The countries that can accept this form of approval include the US, Canada, and certainEuropean counties. The conditions for approval for each of these countries are described below.Obtaining a modular approval is not a requirement. If a 3com customer uses a unique antenna orantenna interconnect design, that customer may file for standard type approval in the country ofinterest. This method will require the testing of the entire end product, and hence may be moretime consuming expensive.The modular approval is only valid in countries that have accepted the process. Forcountries that have not accepted the modular approval process, manufacturers must submit theirdevice for a conventional radio transmitter type approval in each country of interest.Manufacturers may disregard the requirements of this section if they accept the fullresponsibility for regulatory type approval of their device with an integral Com wireless USBdevice.User Guide InformationManufacturers are required to place specific information in the regulatory section of theuser’s guide for the host device. The information may be segmented by geographic world regionif desired, but the text shown below or its equivalent must be maintained. The user’s guide mustcontain the following information:
EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 15 of 21 DRAFTGeneral RequirementsThe following text must be copied exactly into the product’s user’s manual:“This product contains a radio transmitter which has been tested and found to be compliant withthe applicable regulations governing a radio transmitter in the 2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHzfrequency range. The countries where this product is authorized for sale and use by the supplierare as follows:USGermanyUKFranceCanadaItalyNetherlandsSwedenSpainBelgiumDenmarkFinland”NOTE: This list will be updated in future revisions based on the grants that 3Com obtains.NOTE: Japan has no form of modular approval available at this time. Regulatory certification for Japan canonly be obtained through standard type approval procedures and you are responsible for obtaining thatapproval.Topics Not CoveredTopics not covered in this manual include:•Details of requirements for standard type approval filing (Neither US nor other countries)•Japan regulatory approvals•Unintentional emissions requirements for FCC or other countriesUnited States Regulatory ApprovalUser Manual StatementsThe following information must appear in the user manual:
EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 16 of 21 DRAFT“This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following twoconditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may causeundesired operation.”“Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible forcompliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”FCC Modular ApprovalThe requirements for FCC modular approval were released in June 2000 in the FCC’s PublicNotice FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval.General Installation CriteriaTo fully comply with modular approval requirements the following conditions must be met:1. Non- modification of the module or additions to circuitry2. Adherence to the design criteria, including antennas and transmission line interconnect3. Testing of the final configuration to insure emissions complianceThe 3com wireless USB device may not be altered or modified in any way upon receipt.Additionally, no external component can be added which changes the radio frequency (RF)characteristics of the transmitted signals. This includes all components both passive and activesuch as RF filters, RF amplifiers, RF switches, etc. RF components may not be placed betweenthe output pin of the 3Com wireless USB device and the antennas, except the RF transmissionline that interconnects them.AntennasOnly antennas bearing specific part numbers and qualified with 3Coms modular approvalmay be used with 3Com’s wireless USB device. These antennas are designed to be compatiblewith the RF transmission line impedance and frequency range of 3Com’s wireless USB deviceand may not be modified in any way from the design baseline as indicated by the antenna datasheets from the manufacturer.The antennas selected by 3Com have been specifically tested with the 3Com wireless USBdevice, and they are certified through the regulatory agencies in the US, Canada, and EuropeanUnion for authorized use. The selection and use of antennas other than the antennas selected by3Com voids 3Com’s modular approval grant.Antenna InterconnectThere are specific requirements that must be met when designing a transmission line
EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 17 of 21 DRAFTinterconnection between 3Com’s wireless USB device and the antenna. This wireless USBdevice has been specifically designed as a miniature component to be integrated into portableelectronic devices. As such the RF connection is not a standard connector, but a ball grid arraysolder connection. The module must be mounted on the host PCB directly or placed in aspecially designed socket that is mounted to a host PCB.Transmission Line ImpedanceThe transmission line must be designed to be a 50 Ohm impedance.Physical ImplementationThe physical implementation of the RF transmission line must conform to the followingguidelines. Any combination of microstrip, stripline, or coaxial cable is acceptable. However,the following guidelines must be adhered to:1. Microstrip (conductor above ground plane): Lengths should be minimized to keep lossesat a minimum. An impedance of 50 +/- 2 ohms must be maintained. For design formulae,the following web sites can be accessed for interactive design programs:Table http://www.mit.edu/~mcmahill/software/mstrip/mscalc.htmTable A http://www.polar.co.uk/2. Stripline (conductor between ground planes on printed circuit board): Since stripline isnon-radiating, any length of stripline can be used. However, lengths should be minimized tokeep losses at a minimum. Either symmetric or asymmetric stripline may be used. Fordesign formulae visit:Table B http://www.polar.co.uk/3. Coaxial Cable: Since coaxial cable is non-radiating, any length may be used. Theimpedance must be 50 +/- 2 ohms.In general, the lengths of all transmission lines should be kept at a minimum where possible.Microstrip is the most lossy, followed by stripline and then coax. These factors should be takeninto account in design of the interconnect. Higher loss will reduce the range of the wireless USBdevice in the final implementation.SAR InformationThis device generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. In order to comply with FCCradio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment, this device mustbe installed and operated while maintaining a minimum body to antenna distance of 0.47 cm(0.185 inch), based on an antenna gain of 4 dBi.Contact 3Com for additional information regarding minimum body to antenna distancesbased on antenna gains other than 4 dBi.
EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 18 of 21 DRAFTIntentional Emissions Compliance TestingAlthough the module, including the interconnect and antenna, have been modular approvedby the FCC the final configuration must meet emissions compliance. The final configurationmust be tested in an FCC certified test laboratory to confirm that intentional radiated emissionscontinue to operate within the limits specified in the Part 15 rules. Applicable sections include:1. Part 15 Section 15.247, Operation within the bands of 2400-2483 MHz2. Part 15 Section 15.201 to 15.209, Intentional Emitter Restricted Bands and RadiatedEmission LimitsFor detailed document information, visit http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/. Otherinformation may be found in the following documents:FCC Public Notice DA 000-705, Filing and Measurement Guidelines for FrequencyHopping Spread Spectrum Systems.FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval.Both of these documents may be found on the FCC web site. These intentional emissionstests can be conducted by the manufacturer if equipped with a certified test chamber or bycontacting an accredited test facility. The results of these tests are not required to be submittedto the FCC or 3Com, but should be kept on file by the OEM.Exterior Labeling RequirementsTo satisfy FCC exterior labeling requirements, an FCC label, along with specific text, mustbe placed on the notebook PC that contains a 3Com wireless USB device. The following text orany similar wording that expresses the same meaning must be placed beneath the FCC label onthe exterior of the laptop.“Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: SL-1021”Canadian Regulatory ApprovalConditions of GrantIn general, Industry Canada follows the FCC in terms of emission levels and otherregulatory requirements. Although Industry Canada’s position is that the OEM has the first levelof responsibility for insuring compliance for the end use configuration, 3Com as grantee isresponsible as supplier of the module design.
EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 19 of 21 DRAFTDesign CriteriaThe same design criteria as described above should be followed for Canadian modularapproval.Intentional Emissions Compliance testingTo ensure intentional emissions compliance, testing of the final configuration must beconducted per Industry Canada RSS-210 (Low Power License-Exempt Radio communicationDevices). For detailed document information, visit:http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf01375e.html-RadioStandardsSpecificationsThese intentional emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer if equipped with atest chamber or by contacting an approved test facility. The results of these tests are not requiredto be submitted to Industry Canada or 3Com, but should be kept on file by the OEM.Installation InstructionsThis device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 4.0 dB.Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulation of the FCC, Industry Canada,and other national regulatory agencies. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed suchthat it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population;consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.User Manual StatementsThe following information must be placed in the user manual:“This device contains a wireless transceiver that complies with Canadian RSS-210 asdemonstrated by IC Grant No.: (TBD).”Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not causeinterference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that maycause undesired operation of the device.”(This statement is a repeat of the FCC statement, and need appear in English only once inthe manual.)To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operatedindoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.

This directive simplifies marketing by allowing self-certification for“harmonized” bands by conducting testing at their own manufacturing facility or test house.To meet the requirements of the R&TTE directive a Technical Construction File is no longerrequired. However, frequency notification to countries within the EU is required. Article 6 ofthe R&TTE directive states, “the manufacturer or the person responsible for placing theapparatus on the market provides information for the user on the intended use of the apparatus,together with the declaration of conformity to the essential requirements”. Although this impliesthat the OEM has the responsibility for insuring compliance of the end user configuration, 3Comdoes have a responsibility of supplier of the module and antenna interconnect design, havingmade its own declaration of conformity and frequency use notifications.Design CriteriaThe same design criteria as described above should be followed for continued compliancewith the CE approval of this module.Intentional Emissions Compliance TestingIn the European community regulatory compliance is based on the European standards ETSI300-328 (Intentional Emissions) and ETSI 300-826 (Electromagnetic Compatibility). To insurecompliance, radiated emissions testing of the final configuration must be conducted to insure thatemissions meet the requirements of ETSI 300-328 (European Telecommunications Standard for2.4 GHz ISM band). For detailed documents visit:
EXHIBIT 8: User / Installation Manual Page 21 of 21 DRAFThttp://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/infor.htmThese emissions tests can be conducted by the manufacturer if equipped with a test chamberor by contacting an approved test facility. The results of these tests are not required to besubmitted to the regulatory authorities (within each country) or 3Com, but should be kept on fileby the OEM.Exterior Labeling RequirementsThe host device that has a3Com wireless USB device must be labeled "CE" on its exterior.The exclamation mark designates a non-harmonized frequency band. (Seehttp://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/decision/classif.htm for text of this decision. Forfurther details on labeling refer to the R&TTE Directive .See Web Site, above.).The host device packaging and instructions may bear the same CE marking as describedabove although it is not mandatory. Additionally, the packaging and instructions must indicateany restrictions on the use of the product (i.e. countries where the operating frequency of atransmitting device is not allowed).
