CHAPTER 1. MODULE OVERVIEW
The Foxconn WFU033 is a highly integrated module which has built in a 2x2 dual-band wireless
LAN radio. It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standard and provides the highest PHY rate up to 867Mbps,
offering feature-rich wireless connectivity and reliable throughput from an extended distance.
Optimized RF architecture and baseband algorithms provide superb performance and low power
consumption. WFU033 integrates PA/LNA such that the number of the external components is reduced
to minimum. Intelligent MAC design deploys a high efficient DMA engine and hardware data processing
accelerators which offloads the host processor.
The WFU033 supports the 802.11i security standard and implements hardware acceleration for
TKIP, CCMP and WAPI. The device also supports 802.11e QoS for video, voice, and multimedia
applications.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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.
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: Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these
circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed
such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must
be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: RX3-WFU033”. The grantee's
FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how
to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this
module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show
in this manual.

Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Statement
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
Required end product labeling:
Any device incorporating this module must include an external, visible, permanent marking
or label which states: “Contains IC: 2878F-WFU033”
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number or model number if Category
