   3 - 1. Introduction  AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB wireless module, AW-NU240. This USB wireless module is a highly integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the digital content through the latest wireless technology without using the extra cables and cords. It enables a high performance, cost effective, low power, compact solution that easily fits onto one side of a USB.  Compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard, the AW-NU240 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize system power requirements by using AW-NU240.  Longer Range and Faster Speed Comparing to 802.11g technology, 802.11n standard make big improvement on speed and range. It Increases wireless range by up to 2 times and reduces dead spots in coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections more farther than standard 802.11g. The data rate can up to 150Mbps data rate.   2.

   9 - FCC Statement: Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement   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  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.  FCC  Caution:  Any  changes  or  modifications  not  expressly  approved  by  the party   responsible  for  compliance  could  void  the  user’s  authority  to  operate  this 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.  For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.
