FCC Caution
1. The 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.
2. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: The equipment complies with FCC
RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
3. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
4. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate
the equipment.
FCC Statement
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between 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 required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing end-product for any additional compli-
ance requirements required with module installed (for example, digital device emissions,
PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
Important Note
In the event that these conditions can not be example certain laptop configurations or co-
location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered
valid the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter)
and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
iii
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between antenna and users (for example
access points, routers, wireless ADSL and similar equipment). The final end product
must be labeled in a area with the following: “ Contains TX FCC ID: I4L-MS6855B”.
Manual Information for End Users
The end user must not have manual instructions to remove or install device. The user
manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location:
“IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,
the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.” as a result of e-mail transmission.”

Introduction
MSI MP54GBT2, the Wireless 11g + Bluetooth Combo miniPCI
Card, is a Type IIIB card, which can be used to integrate with
such systems as notebook, mini-barebone, PDA, portable PC.
With MSI MP54GBT2 embedded inside, a system could pro-
vide users with the ability and flexibility to connect up to Internet
wirelessly via 802.11g with speed up to 54Mbps, and to link
with peripherals wirelessly through BluetoothTM v2.0 and ad-
vanced EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) technology. BluetoothTM
v2.0 technology increases the data rate of BluetoothTM v1.1/1.2
from 1.0Mbps to 2.1Mbps.
MSI MP54GBT2 is taking advantage of leading technologies
from Ralink and CSR. It addresses the co-existence issues in
PAN (Personal Area Network) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network) markets by providing true simultaneous connectivity
while deploying IEEE 802.11g and Bluetooth v2.0 Along with
this combo solution, a system installed with a single card is able
to offer dual mode capability of WiFi and BluetoothTM. It will
benefit system vendors in miniaturization of system dimension
and BOM cost reduction, as well as also make users happy with
the all-in-one functionality.

Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or
other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary
plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are
part of the network only for the duration of a communications
session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared
printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this
kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however,
users can only communicate with other wireless LAN comput-
ers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within
range.

Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure
network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an
Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can
manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Addi-
tionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to
access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take
advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet,
email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the
Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the
Ad-hoc networking.

In Bluetooth Connection
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the
wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to ex-
change data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection.
Before a connection is established, one device must request a
connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects)
the connection. The originator of the request is known as the
client. The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known
as the server. Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and
server. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be
prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth soft-
ware is always running in the background on the server, ready to
respond to connection requests.
