We, Proxim Corporation, 935 Stewart Drive Sunnyvale, CA 94085 USA 408-731-2700

declare under our sole responsibility that the Harmony 802.11a CardBus Card, Model 8450, and the Harmony 802.11a PCI Card, Model 8150, comply with Part 15 of FCC Rules.

Industry Canada Guidelines

Model 8150 802.11a PCI Card Users:

The Harmony 8150 802.11a PCI Card has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 3 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.

Windows ME and Windows 98 SE Installation CD Requirement

Before beginning the installation of an 802.11a network adapter, confirm that you have a Windows 98 SE or Windows ME installation CD available (depending on the computer’s operating system). Windows 98/ME users may be prompted to insert a Windows CD during the installation.

You should not need a Windows CD when installing an 802.11a network adapter in a Windows XP, 2000, or NT computer.

If you do not have a Windows 98/ME CD, it is possible that you already have the Windows installation files on your hard disk. These Windows installation files are known as Windows Cabinet or CAB files. The Cabinet files are commonly located in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL\ or C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\.

Note: Windows 98/ME users may need the Windows CD or Cabinet files to com- plete the installation of an 802.11a network adapter. Proxim recommends that you do not proceed with the installation until you have confirmed that you have one of these Windows installation media available.
