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 connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
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.
2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This device has been tested for compliance with FCC RF Exposure (SAR) limits in the typical
laptop computer configuration and this device can be used in desktop or laptop computers. This
device cannot be used with handheld PDAs (personal digital assistants). This device and its
antenna must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
SAR measurements are based on a 5mm spacing from the body and that compliance is
achieved at that distance.

DÉCLARATION DE LA FCC
Cet appareil a été testé et déclaré conforme aux limites des appareils numériques de Classe B,
selon la section 15 des règlements de la FCC (Federal Communication Commission). Ces limites
sont conçues pour assurer une protection raisonnable contre un brouillage préjudiciable lorsque
l'appareil est utilisé dans un milieu résidentiel. L'appareil génère, utilise et peut diffuser de l'énergie
sur les fréquences radio et, s'il n'est pas installé et utilisé conformément au mode d'emploi, il peut
brouiller les communications radio. Il n'y a aucune garantie qu'un brouillage ne se produira pas
dans un milieu particulier. Si cet appareil brouille les communications radio ou télévision, comme
cela peut être vérifié en éteignant puis en allumant l'appareil, l'utilisateur peut tenter de corriger
toute interférence en essayant une ou plusieurs des méthodes suivantes:
¾Réorienter l'antenne réceptrice ou la placer à un autre endroit ;
¾Éloigner davantage l'appareil du récepteur ;
¾Brancher l'appareil sur une autre prise de courant ou un circuit électrique différent de
celui auquel le récepteur est connecté ;
¾Pour toute aide, consulter le distributeur ou un technicien expérimenté radio/TV.
Cet appareil est conforme à la section 15 des règlements de la FCC (Federal Communication
Commission). Son utilisation est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes :
1) Cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer de brouillage préjudiciable.
2) Cet appareil doit absorber toute interférence réceptionnée, même si cela provoque des
effets indésirables sur son fonctionnement.
Toute modification non autorisée par les autorités responsables de la conformité peut entraîner la
révocation du droit d’utilisation de ce produit.
Remarque: Le fabricant ne peut en aucun cas être tenu responsable des interférences radio ou TV
causées par des modifications non autorisées effectuées sur cet appareil. De telles modifications
peuvent entraîner l'annulation du droit de l'utilisateur à manipuler l'appareil.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition de radiation des radio-fréquences de la FCC
déterminées pour un environnement non contrôlé. Afin de satisfaire les normes relatives à
l'exposition aux radio-fréquences, les utilisateurs finaux doivent suivre les instructions spécifiques
d'utilisation. Ce transmetteur ne doit pas être situé à proximité ou fonctionner conjointement avec
une autre antenne ou émetteur. L'indice DAS de cet appareil a été évalué pour une utilisation dans
la main. Les mesures DAS (Débit d'Absorption Spécifique) sont basées et effectuées en tenant
compte d'une distance de 5mm entre le corps et l'équipement.

Avertissement de la marque CE
Ceci est un appareil de classe B. Dans un environnement domestique, cet appareil peut créer des
interférences radio, auquel cas l’utilisateur devra prendre les dispositions nécessaires.
Restrictions nationales
Cet appareil est prévu pour une utilisation domestique ou de bureau dans tous les pays de la
CE(ainsi que dans tous les autres pays où la directive européenne 1999/5/EC est en vigueur) sans
limitation, à l'exception des pays mentionnés ci-dessous :

Chapter 3.Configuration Guide
3.1 For Windows XP
WD650-BD-N can be configured by AR51 Wireless Lite-N Client Utility (AWCU) in Windows XP
& 2000. This chapter describes how to configure your Adapter for wireless connectivity on your
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security encryption features.
The configuration of the adapter in Windows XP is similar with that of Windows 2000. This User
Guide takes Windows XP for example.
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon will appear in your system tray. It
appears at the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength using color and the received
signal strength indication (RSSI).
If the icon is gray, there is no connection.
If the icon is red, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is less than 5dB.
If the icon is yellow, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is between 5dB and 10dB.
If the icon is green, there is good signal strength and the RSSI is between 10dB and 20dB.
If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength and the RSSI is more than 20dB.
Double-click the icon and the AWCU will run. You can also run the utility by clicking the Start→
Program→Wireless→AR51 Wireless Lite-N Client Utility→AR51 Wireless Lite-N Client
Utility. The AWCU provides some integrated and easy tools to:
¾Display current status information
¾Edit and add configuration profiles
¾Display current diagnostics information
The section below introduces these above capabilities.
3.1.1 Current Status
The Current Status tab contains general information about the program and its operations. The
Current Status tab needn’t any configurations.
