v1.0, March 2006

Verify System Requirements

Before installing the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, please make sure that these minimum

requirements have been met. You must have a computer with:

• A Pentium

300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an available USB 2.0 or 1.1 port.

•A CD drive.

• 5 MB of free hard disk space.

• Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1 with KB822603 hot fix, Windows XP SP2.

Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines

Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly based

on the location of the computer with the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. For best results, avoid

potential sources of interference, such as:

• Large metal surfaces

• Microwave ovens

• 2.4 GHz Cordless phones

In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed

with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are

between the devices.

Note: If you do not have a USB 2.0 port on your computer, the throughput of the

Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter is limited to the 14 Mbps of the USB 1.1 standard.

Note: Windows XP users must have SP2 installed or the KB822603 Hot fix for SP1,

which fixes the USB 2.0 Host controller driver. Go to the following link to install

the Hot fix: http://www.microsoft.com
