1 HL-11N 802.11n WLAN Mini-PCI Module User’s Manual 2 FCC Statement Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment. 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. NOTE: 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 or more 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 needed. † Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Service Center in U.S.A Company Name : ZyXEL Communications, INC. USA Company Address: 1650 E. Miraloma Ave. Placentia, CA 92870 Tel: (714)632-0858 3 CAUTION: 1. 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. 2. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter 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. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to ensure that the proper spacing is maintained in the event the users places the device in their lap during use (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in the upper portion of the LCD panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the user places the device in their lap for use) and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing 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 requirements, 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 devices where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for example access points, routers, wireless ASDL modems, certain laptop configurations, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: "Contains TX FCC ID: TWS-HL-1 1N". RF Exposure Manual Information That Must be Included The users manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location "IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter." Additional Information That Must be Provided to OEM Integrators The end user should NOT be provided any instructions on how to remove or install the device. - 4 - Introduction The HL-11N Wireless module This module is the wireless networking device based on 802.11g /n technology and compatible for interoperability with existing 802.11b devices.

Introduction The EUT operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Due to the EUT (include antenna) at its normal operation distance is at least 20 cm from the human body, the EUT was defined as a Mobile Device. The reason to do the MPE Evaluation is to avoid the RF hazard to human body. The maximum output power and gain of the antenna were used to calculate the limited Power density (S) at 20 cm distance away from the product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 and Safety Code 6 are followed. According to 1.1307 (b)(1), systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensure that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in excess of the Commission’s guideline. 2. RF Exposure Limit For FCC: According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b). Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A) Limits for Occupational / Control Exposures 30-300 61.4 0.163 1.0 6 300-1500 - - F/300 6 1500-100,000 - - 5 6 (B) Limits for General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 30-300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300-1500 - - F/1500 30 1500-100,000 - - 1.0 30 F= Frequency in MHz FCC ID.: TWS-HL-11N Report No.: TS09120112-EME Page 5 of 8 For IC: Exposure Limits for Persons Not Classed As RF and Microwave Exposed Workers (Including the General Public) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength; rms (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength; rms (A/m) Power Density (W/m 2 ) Average Time (minutes) 0.003-1 280 2.19 - 6 1-10 280/f 2.19/f - 6 10-30 28 2.19/f - 6 30-300 28 0.073 2 * 30 300-1500 1.585 f 0.5 0.0042 f 0.5 F/150 30 1500-15000 61.4 0.163 10 30 15000-150000 61.4 0.163 10 616000/f 1.2 150000-300000 0.158 f 0.5 4.21 × 10 -4 f 0.5 6.67 × 10 -5 f 616000/f 1.2 * Power density limit is applicable at frequencies greater than 100 MHz. Notes: 1. Frequency, f, is in MHz. 2. A power density of 10 W/m 2 is equivalent to 1 mW/cm 2 . 3. A magnetic field strength of 1 A/m corresponds to 1.257 microtesla (μT) or 12.57 milligauss (mG). 3. RF Exposure calculations From §FCC 1.1310 table 1 and §Safety Code 6 table 5, the maximum permissible RF exposure for an uncontrolled environment is 1 mW/(cm 2 ) (or 10 W/m 2 )* * 10 W/m 2 = 1 mW/ (cm 2 ) Power density (S) is calculated by the following formula: S = (P * G)/4πR 2 where, S = Power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Output power to antenna (mW) R = Distance between radiating structure and observation point (cm) G = Gain of antenna in numeric π = 3.1416 Example: Assume a mobile device operates at 2412MHz and its maximum output power is 50mW, and the maximum gain of antenna is 1 (numeric) /0dBi. then the power density (S) = (50 * 1)/4*π*20 2 = 0.00995 (mW/cm 2 ) (or = 0.0995 W/m 2 ) FCC ID.: TWS-HL-11N Report No.: TS09120112-EME Page 6 of 8 4.
