FCC ID: MSQWL120GV2A Training Research Co., Ltd., TEL: 886-2-26935155, Fax: 886-2-26934440 Measurement of Maximum Permissible Exposure 1. Foreword In adopt with the Human Exposure IEEE C95.1, and according to the FCC 1.1310. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) is obligated to measure in order to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body. The Gain of the antenna used is measured in an Anechoic chamber. The maximum total power to the antenna is to be recorded. By adopting the Friis Transmission Formula and the power gain of the antenna, we can find the distance right away from the product, where the limit of the MPE is. 2. Description of EUT FCC ID : MSQWL120GV2A Product name : Wireless Mini-PCI Module Model : WL-120g V2A Classification : Mobile Device (i) Under normal use condition, the antenna is at least 20cm away from the user; (ii) Warning statement for keeping 20cm separation distance and the prohibition of operating next to the person has been printed in the user’s manual Frequency Range : 2.412 GHz ~ 2.462GHz Supported Channel : 11 Channels Modulation Skill : DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, OFDM Power Type : Powered by mini-PCI interface Measurement of Maximum Permissible Exposure -------------------------------------------- 2/4 Applicant: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
