Because Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio transmission, voice and data are transmitted almost immediately. Bluetooth transmission ensures both protection from interference and secure data transfers. You might use Bluetooth wireless technology in these ways:
Dial up to the Internet on your notebook over your Bluetooth cellular phone.
Send a fax from your notebook over your Bluetooth cellular phone.
Synchronize your Bluetooth PDA with your notebook.
Send your business card to anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth device.
Send or receive files to or from anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth notebook or PDA.
Chat with anyone in a meeting who has a Bluetooth notebook.
Play a one-on-one serial game without a cable.
Send an e-mail from your training session without being wired to the network. Bluetooth Wireless PC Card Wireless Radio Transmission The Bluetooth wireless PC Card uses a reliable radio frequency to transmit data wirelessly. The onboard radio uses the following settings:
Radio transmit power: 0 dBm (1mW)
Radio sensitivity: –70 dBm
Frequency range: 2.402–2.480 GHz Optimized Antenna The Bluetooth antenna provides powerful performance in all directions. Software and Firmware Upgrades Current software and firmware upgrades are available on the 3Com Web site at: www.support.3com.com 3 2 Installing Your Bluetooth Wireless PC Card and Connection Manager Bluetooth Installation CD The Bluetooth Installation CD contains the following:

3Com Corporation July 8, 2002 3930 W. Parkway Blvd. West Valley City, UT 84120 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality Regarding FCC ID: O9C-SL-1022 To Whom It May Concern: In accordance with § 0.459 of CFR 47, 3Com Corporation requests confidentiality for the following items: 1. Block Diagram (Exhibit 4) 2. Schematic Diagrams (Exhibit 5) 3. Operational Description (Exhibit 12) These items contain detailed system and equipment description and related information about the product which 3Com Corporation considers to be proprietary, confidential and a custom design which otherwise would not be released to the general public. Since this design is a basis from which future technological products will evolve, 3Com Corporation also feels that this information would be of benefit to its competitors, and that the disclosure of the information in these exhibits would give our competitors an unfair advantage in the market. Any information for which 3Com has requested confidentiality, but which the FCC may not grant, should be returned to 3Com. Sincerely, Greg Hansen Regulatory Engineer 3930 West Parkway Blvd. West Valley City, UT 84120 (801) 320-7585 Index of Exhibits for 3Com SL-1022 Wireless PC Card FCC ID: O9C-SL-1022 EXHIBITDESCRIPTIONFILE NAMECONFIDENTIAL Exhibit 1Labeling and PlacementExhibit_01.pdf Exhibit 2Letter of AttestationExhibit_02.pdf Exhibit 3External View PhotographsExhibit_03.pdf Exhibit 4Block DiagramExhibit_04.pdfYES Exhibit 5SchematicsExhibit_05.pdfYES Exhibit 6Test ReportExhibit_06.pdf Exhibit 7Test Set-up PhotographsExhibit_07.pdf Exhibit 8User Manual and Installation GuideExhibit_08.pdf Exhibit 9Internal View PhotographsExhibit_09.pdf Exhibit 11RF Exposure InformationExhibit_11.pdf Exhibit 12Description of OperationExhibit_12.pdfYES Exhibit 13Cover Letter & Confidentiality RequestExhibit_13.pdf

EXHIBIT 11 Section15.247 (b) (4) Requirement: Spread spectrum devices shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. See § 1.1307(b) and 2.1093 of this chapter. All equipment shall be considered to operate in a “general population/uncontrolled” environment. Applications for equipment authorization of devices operating under this section must contain a statement confirming compliance with these requirements for both fundamental emissions and unwanted emissions. Technical information showing the basis for this statement must be submitted to the Commission upon request. Demonstration of Compliance: The SL-1022 is classified as a portable device, which is installed so that a minimum separation distance of 2.5 centimeters is maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure and the body of the user or nearby persons, and the ERP of the SL-1022 is less than 50 mWatts. Therefore, the SL-1220 is categorically excluded from routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure as per § 2.1093. The installation/user manual contains a warning statement that instructs the installer/user that the 2.5 centimeter separation distance must be maintained in order to comply with the RF exposure requirement. Sample of the RF Exposure Statement - CAUTION: FCC RADIO-FREQUENCY EXPOSURE NOTICE This device generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. In order to comply with FCC RF radiation exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons.
