This device 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. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio/television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. 3Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 4Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement • The wireless adapter has been tested to the FCC exposure requirements (Specific Absorption Rate). • Testing was performed on laptop computers with antennas at 0mm spacing. The maximum SAR value is: 1.266W/kg. The device must not be collocated with any other antennas or transmitters. • The device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, under 47 CFR 2.1093 paragraph (d)(2). End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. • This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. • To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons.

Confidentiality Letter (Permanent) Attention: Application Examiner Re: Request for confidentiality Applicant: ZyXEL Communications Corporation FCC ID: I88G120 To whom it may concern, Request is hereby submitted by ZyXEL Communications Corporation to withhold permanently from public review certain portions of the application for equipment certification for the referenced FCC identifiers. This request for confidentiality is made pursuant to 47 CFR 0.457(d) of the FCC Rules. In particular, the following sections of the application are to be kept permanently confidential: • Schematics • Detailed Block diagrams • Detailed Operational/Functional Description Rationale for request for confidentiality: ZyXEL Communications Corporation has invested considerable time and materials in research and development to produce the referenced product. Disclosure of the permanently confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology developed by us. If you have questions or need further information, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Wang Yi Section Manager ZyXEL Communication Corporation

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 July 5, 2006 RE: ZyXEL Communications Corporation FCC ID: I88G120 I have a few comments on this Application. Depending on your responses, kindly understand there may be additional comments. 1.) There are no calibration certificates for the SAR probes or for the validation dipoles. Please provide. Please also note that FCC interpretations require a yearly calibration of all SAR probes unless the manufacturer provides a signed letter indicating another calibration cycle is allowed. 2.) Section 2.4.1 of the SAR report appears to have used head medium for validation tests. This is incorrect. All PCMCIA form factor cards with integral antennas will use body SAR. Please be sure body medium was used for all tests / validations. 3.) Please refer to the uncertainty budget. It appears very unusual for axial isotropy = 0. Please review and correct. 4.) The highest SAR measurements results of Section 1 are not in agreement with the test results from any of the three notebook computers. Have I misread something? 5.) The Manual does not contain the highest SAR values measured. Please correct. 6.) The band edge testing does not appear to conform to the FCC measurement guidance procedure. Please review and correct test report. William H. Graff President and Director of Engineering mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination.

The maximum output power declared by the ZyXEL. EUT model # G-120 was evaluated accordance with the requirements for compliance testing defined in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) and meet the SAR requirement, the phantom employed was the box phantom of 2mm thick in one wall. The total uncertainty for the evaluation of the spatial peak SAR values averaged over a cube of 1g tissue mass had been assessed for this system to be ±20.6%, the dosimetry assessment system INDEXSAR SARA2 was used. In summary, the maximum spatial peak SAR value for the sample device averaged over 1g was found to be: Phantom Position (worst case) SAR 1g , W/kg 2mm thick box phantom wall EUT perpendicular to phantom 0 mm separation with host 2 Notebook PC, 802.11b at channel 11 1.266 W/kg In conclusion, the tested Sample device was found to be in compliance with the requirements defined in OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) for body configurations. 1.1 Client Information The G-120 has been tested at the request of: Applicant: ZyXEL Communications Corporation No. 6, Innovation Rd II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan FCC ID. : I88G120 Report No.: EME-060717 Page 4 of 111 1.2 Equipment under test (EUT) Product Descriptions: Equipment 802.11g Wireless CardBus Card Trade Name ZyXEL Model No: G-120 FCC ID I88G120 S/N No. Not Labeled Category Portable RF Exposure Uncontrolled Environment Frequency Band 2412 – 2462 MHz System DSSS, OFDM EUT Antenna Description Type …
