i Regulatory Information NOTE: Marking labels located on the exterior of your device indicate the regulations that your model complies with. Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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. 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. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the user's manual operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. NOTE: A UWB device operating under the provisions of this section shall transmit only when it is sending information to an associated receiver. The UWB intentional radiator shall cease transmission within 10 seconds unless it receives an acknowledgement from the associated receiver that its transmission is being received. An acknowledgment of reception must continue to be received by the UWB intentional radiator at least every 10 seconds or the UWB device must cease transmitting. Per FCC regulations, an intentional radiator may only transmit when communicating with an associated receiver. This continuous transmit mode is for evaluation purposes only. In end-user applications, this is handled through handshaking, acknowledgements, negotiation of the communication channel, and other mechanisms that ensure the transmitter is active when communicating with a receiver.

iii Safety Information Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.  Read this User Manual carefully and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.  Do not open or attempt to disassemble or modify the device. Never insert any metallic object into the device to avoid any risk of electric shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified technical support representative.  Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing liquids on your device, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.  Do not expose the device beyond 50 oC degree. Doing so may damage the device or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your device near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your device in an environment that is too cold may damage the unit.  Always unplug the device from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.  Use only the power supply shipped with the device.  Do not use the device near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or speakers. Doing so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.  Do not place the device near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of your device.  Do not place heavy objects on top of the device or use excessive force on it.  Protect your device from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.

 Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the device. Such products will disfigure and discolor the casing. Instead, use a soft dry cloth to wipe the device.

11 Chapter 3 Using the USB Dongle and Wireless Hub After successfully installing the drivers for the USB dongle and wireless hub, you can start communicating with other USB devices wirelessly. The Connection Manager icon appears on your Windows system tray. The following table shows the icon color and the corresponding activity status: Please Note: In compliance with 47 CFR 15.519(a)(1) the wireless dongle and /or hub will cease transmission within 10 seconds unless it receives an acknowledgement from the other that its transmission is being received. An acknowledgment of reception must continue to be received by the wireless dongle and / or hub at least every 10 seconds or the UWB device will cease transmitting until it receives acknowledgement. This may cause some additional delay in operation when first associating the dongle and hub if hub is out of range of dongle or power is applied to hub after 10 seconds of dongle connection. Icon Color Status Enabled (yellow icon) The USB dongle is connected to the computer and enabled but no wireless connection is detected. Connected (green icon) The USB dongle is connected to the computer, is enabled, and is associated with the wireless hub. Disabled (gray icon) The USB dongle is not connected to the computer or, is connected to the computer but is disabled.

12 3.1 Making the Connection To start using the USB dongle and wireless hub: 1. Connect the USB dongle to the USB port of your computer and the power LED lights up. The USB dongle which has a unique host ID pre-configured (a product ID that resembles the MAC address format) will start scanning the airwaves for first available channel. After a few seconds when the computer to USB association is formed, the USB association LED lights up. 2. Connect the wireless hub to power. The wireless hub will start locating a wireless host by scanning for available channels. 3. The wireless hub will start to request association with your computer via the USB dongle and the association authorization screen is displayed. USB Association Power
