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. This 
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. 
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to channels 1 through 11. 
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, 
3) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G 
band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user 
regarding to Regulatory Domain change. 
As long as 3 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 (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirement, etc.). 

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 re-evaluating 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:AK8CPWL0102U”. 
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.
