Main Features
This section describes the main product features.
• Supports NTT Docomo ”Xi”. (When receiving: Max. 37.5 Mbps; When sending: Max.
12.5 Mbps)
* The communication speeds are the maximum values in sending and receiving
standards. However, these do not indicate actual communication speeds. Data
transmission is provided over a best-effort network. For that reason, actual
communication speeds may vary according to the communication environ-
ment and the traffic load on the network.
* When outside of the Xi area, this can also be used in a FOMA high-speed area
(when receiving: Max. 14 Mbps; when sending: Max. 5.7 Mbps).
• The Internet connection automatically switches in public wireless LAN areas, such
as Mzone, from the Xi line or FOMA line to the public wireless LAN.
• The included cradle provides a wired port connection, and recharges the product.
• Connects up to 12 wireless LAN devices, such as personal computers and game
consoles.
• Connects to wireless LAN devices with one touch using AOSS or WPS.

Wireless Connection to a Personal Computer
This section describes the procedures for connecting this product wirelessly to a
personal computer running Windows, using AOSS/WPS (push-button type) as an
example. Setting methods vary according to the version of Windows that is running.
For Windows 7/Vista
Follow the procedure below to connect to this device using AOSS/WPS (push-button
type) on a personal computer running Windows 7 or Vista.
Note In setting AOSS/WPS (push-button type), the personal computer and this
device establish a 1-to-1 relationship. For that reason, you cannot
connect another device with AOSS/WPS (push-button type) while it is
being set. To connect multiple devices to one BF-01D unit, connect
another device after completing the AOSS/WPS (push-button type)
connection.

approved by the part responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
15.105(b)
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 o and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
25
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent 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
