Page 3 of 10 Revision Description of Changes Initial release Revision History Revision Nov, 2012 Page 4 of 10 Introduction This document describes mandatory steps required by the OEM integrator when designing and manufacturing any host PC system utilizing this Atheros radio module. Also refer to the Atheros Regulatory Compliance Guide available on the Atheros customer support site and from the Atheros customer support contact person. This document lists the mandatory responsibilities and actions of the OEM integrator. Failure to comply with all requirements and conditions in this document may result in non-compliance of the host PC with FCC rules and invalidate the Atheros FCC certification for the module. This guide applies to this Client modules that act under control of an Access Point. Page 5 of 10 Max. average total output power Allowed Antennas to be used with the Radio Module The Integrator must request from Atheros sales or regulatory contact person the current list of allowable antennas for use with the specific radio module. This information is not available on the public FCC database but will be provided by Atheros. Atheros will provide a table of antenna type(s) models, cable lengths, and peak gain in each band. Generally, the list will include Omni-directional Inverted-F (PIFA) and stamped metal/film antennas for use inside laptops. In some cases, dipole antenna types may be included in the available list. Peak gain including cable losses are quoted in the table provided by Atheros. Use of any of the antennas in the list (identical or equivalent antenna with lower gain, dimensions and cable lengths) is acceptable in the host device, without any further FCC testing or submission. However, use of an antenna that is higher gain than those on the list or is a Different Type, requires additional testing and submission to the FCC. Therefore, antennas with higher gain or different type than specified by Atheros may not be used with the Atheros module until new testing and reporting is completed. You must contact the Atheros Regulatory Group to report any higher gain or new antenna type to be used with the module. Antenna Placement This module has been certified by FCC as single module approval with the following restrictions:

The most conservative antenna-to-user separation distance shall be greater than 4.6mm to end user or near-by person. 4.6mm physical separation distance is measured by positioning the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computers perpendicular to the keyboard section. Measure the distance from the nearest point of antenna to the bottom of host. Consult with Atheros to determine the allowable rotational orientations for vertical and horizontal antenna installation in applicable host devices. When antenna is installed in the typical notebook/Netbook/laptop computer platform, the antenna cable shall be positioned away from antenna elements to conform to configuration tested for compliance. Page 6 of 10 When the antennas are installed in the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computer platform, the display section shall not have metallic components and material that can influence or change the operating and exposure characteristics of the antennas. If any one of condition listed above can not comply, please consult with Atheros regulatory contact person to determine the applicable equipment authorization procedure before marketing the host device. Simultaneous transmission of Radio Module with Other Integrated or Plug-In Radios Based upon FCC Knowledge Database publication number 616217 D03 (Supplement) https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=30257, when there are multiple radios installed in a host device, RF exposure transmitting assessment shall be performed to determine the necessary application and test requirements. Certain criteria can be used in determine the requirement for simultaneous SAR evaluation and whether Class I or Class II permissive change may apply. A brief summary of the procedures is provided below. OEM integrators must consult the actual FCC KDB 616217 Supplement document for details:

Identify all possible combinations of simultaneous transmission configurations for all transmitters and antennas installed in the display screen and keyboard of the intended host computer configurations and provide the following information:

o Antenna-to-antenna separation distance o Antenna-to-user separation distance Transmitters/antennas operating from external card slots and/or connectors of the host computers must be more than 5 cm from any simultaneous transmitting antennas If simultaneous transmission radio/module is installed in the host as portable device ( <

20 cm to the body of user) , determine the highest 1-g SAR value of each portable radio module for applicable simultaneous transmission operating modes and configurations. If simultaneous radio is installed in the host as mobile device (> 20 cm to the body of user) , determine the MPE (power density) according to the highest output power, , antenna gain and antenna-to-user separation distance in each frequency band. Determine the antenna to antenna separation distances as required for the conditions below a) When the [( of the highest measured 1-g SAR for each portable transmitter/antenna included in the simultaneous transmission configuration) / 1.6 W/kg] + of [(the highest MPE for each mobile transmitter/antenna included in the simultaneous transmission configuration) / (the corresponding MPE limit)] < 1; (where: excludes antennas that do not require SAR evaluation, the corresponding MPE limits based upon frequency band can be found at table 1 of section 1.1310 of CFR 47:

.1.1.2.9.193.10&idno=47) or b) For antennas included in the simultaneous transmission configuration that require SAR evaluation, when the separation distance between each antenna pair is i) greater than 5 [(SAR1 + SAR2) / 1.6]1.5 cm, rounded to the nearest cm, and Page 7 of 10 ii) the of [(the highest MPE for each mobile transmitter/antenna included in the simultaneous transmission configuration) / (the corresponding MPE limit)] < 1 By satisfying condition a) or b) as listed above, simultaneous SAR evaluation is not required. Incorporation of this Atheros module in conjunction with other certified transmitters in a qualified host device can be addressed as a Class I permissive change. However, the simultaneous transmission conditions must be fully documented in Class I permissive change report as described in KDB 616217 Supplement.. For each simultaneous transmission configuration which does not meet the conditions described above, submit an inquiry to Atheros Regulatory Group or equivalent responsible party of the radio module to evaluate additional FCC evaluation or application requirements. Required Information to be documented in the Class I permissive change report A summary of the information to be included in the Class I permissive change report is listed below. OEM integrators must consult the FCC KDB 616217 Supplement document for details. 1. FCC ID of all transmitters, maximum average conducted output power in each transmission mode and frequency band, operating configurations and exposure conditions approved for the individual transmitters. 2. Applicable antenna locations for all host configurations identified in diagrams, drawings and/or photos, including the range of antenna-to-user and antenna-to-antenna separation distances to support the required test reduction and exclusion analysis or SAR test configurations (The closest distance between each antenna and the user and the closest distance between individual antennas should be used.) 3. The type and physical dimensions of antennas incorporated in the intended host configurations 4. Antenna gain specified by the antenna manufacturer for antennas qualified for mobile exposure conditions 5. Other relevant information and restrictions required by the equipment certifications of individual transmitters, including antenna changes 6.

(on selected models) The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles. Regional Playback Information Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication. Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for specific geographic regions as defined in Region Definitions below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region. IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user. 96 Notebook PC E-ManualDRAFT 3 6/10/2014 Region Definitions Region 1 Canada, US, US Territories Region 2 Czech, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Gulf States, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, UK, Greece, Former Yugoslav Republics, Slovakia Region 3 Burma, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam Region 4 Australia, Caribbean (Except US Territories), Central America, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, South America Region 5 CIS, India, Pakistan, Rest of Africa, Russia, North Korea Region 6 China 97 Notebook PC E-ManualDRAFT 3 6/10/2014 Blu-ray ROM Drive Information

(US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance. 98 Notebook PC E-ManualDRAFT 3 6/10/2014 Overview On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has been published in the Official Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony justified case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone multi-frequency signalling. Network Compatibility Declaration Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and the vendor:

This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-

working difficulties. Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties. The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on another network. Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals using CTR 21. The results are Europes first modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each individual European country. Non-Voice Equipment Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded. 99 Notebook PC E-ManualDRAFT 3 6/10/2014 This table shows the countries currently under the CTR21 standard.

(on selected models) The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles. Regional Playback Information Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication. Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for speciic geographic regions as deined in Region Deinitions below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region. IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to ive times using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user. 84 ASUS Transformer Book E-Manual Region Deinitions Region 1 Canada, US, US Territories Region 2 Czech, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Gulf States, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, UK, Greece, Former Yugoslav Republics, Slovakia Region 3 Burma, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam Region 4 Australia, Caribbean (Except US Territories), Central America, New Zealand, Paciic Islands, South America Region 5 CIS, India, Pakistan, Rest of Africa, Russia, North Korea Region 6 China ASUS Transformer Book E-Manual 85 Blu-ray ROM Drive Information

The internal modem has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due to diferences between the individual PSTNs provided in diferent countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier in the irst instance. Overview On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has been published in the Oicial Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony justiied case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone multifrequency signalling. Network Compatibility Declaration Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notiied Body and the vendor: This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notiied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diiculties ASUS Transformer Book E-Manual 87 Network Compatibility Declaration Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notiied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diiculties. The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on another network. Up to now the Notiied Body of CETECOM issued several pan-

European approvals using CTR 21. The results are Europes irst modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each individual European country. Non-Voice Equipment Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded. 88 ASUS Transformer Book E-Manual This table shows the countries currently under the CTR21 standard.

Page 2 of 9 Revision Description of Changes Initial release Revision History Revision Nov, 2012 Page 3 of 9 Introduction This document describes mandatory steps required by the OEM integrator when designing and manufacturing any host PC system utilizing this Atheros radio module. Also refer to the Atheros Regulatory Compliance Guide available on the Atheros customer support site and from the Atheros customer support contact person. This document lists the mandatory responsibilities and actions of the OEM integrator. Failure to comply with all requirements and conditions in this document may result in non-compliance of the host PC with FCC rules and invalidate the Atheros FCC certification for the module. This guide applies to this Client modules that act under control of an Access Point. Page 4 of 9 Max. average total output power Allowed Antennas to be used with the Radio Module The Integrator must request from Atheros sales or regulatory contact person the current list of allowable antennas for use with the specific radio module. This information is not available on the public FCC database but will be provided by Atheros. Atheros will provide a table of antenna type(s) models, cable lengths, and peak gain in each band. Generally, the list will include Omni-directional Inverted-F (PIFA) and stamped metal/film antennas for use inside laptops. In some cases, dipole antenna types may be included in the available list. Peak gain including cable losses are quoted in the table provided by Atheros. Use of any of the antennas in the list (identical or equivalent antenna with lower gain, dimensions and cable lengths) is acceptable in the host device, without any further FCC testing or submission. However, use of an antenna that is higher gain than those on the list or is a Different Type, requires additional testing and submission to the FCC. Therefore, antennas with higher gain or different type than specified by Atheros may not be used with the Atheros module until new testing and reporting is completed. You must contact the Atheros Regulatory Group to report any higher gain or new antenna type to be used with the module. Antenna Placement This module has been certified by FCC as single module approval with the following restrictions:

The most conservative antenna-to-user separation distance shall be greater than 4.6mm to end user or near-by person. 4.6mm physical separation distance is measured by positioning the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computers perpendicular to the keyboard section. Measure the distance from the nearest point of antenna to the bottom of host. Consult with Atheros to determine the allowable rotational orientations for vertical and horizontal antenna installation in applicable host devices. When antenna is installed in the typical notebook/Netbook/laptop computer platform, the antenna cable shall be positioned away from antenna elements to conform to configuration tested for compliance. When the antennas are installed in the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computer platform, the display section shall not have metallic components and material that can influence or change the operating and exposure characteristics of the antennas. If any one of condition listed above can not comply, please consult with Atheros regulatory contact person to determine the applicable equipment authorization procedure before marketing the host device.

When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTI-

LATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life. WARNINGS:

When working with hydraulic or fuel lines, be careful that Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced. liquids under pressure do not escape and create a dangerous condition. Use adequate ventilation and make sure there are no sparks or possibility of sparks present that may ignite any vapor. Wear an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ap-

proved eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles. Objects propelled by whirling engine components or pressur-

ized liquids escaping may cause personal injury. Set the parking brake and block the wheels before testing or repairing a vehicle. It is especially important to block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles because the parking brake does not hold the drive wheels. Use only specifically designed replacement parts (brake hoses and lines) for ABS-equipped vehicles. Do not drive the vehicle and operate the software at the same time. Any distractions may cause an accident. Have one per-

son operate the software as another person drives the vehicle. Maintain adequate clearance around moving components or belts during testing. Moving components and belts can catch loose clothing, body parts, or test equipment and cause seri-

ous damage or personal injury. Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explo-

sive gases that can result in serious injury. To prevent ignition of gases, keep lit cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition sources away from the battery at all times. Adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or otherwise unneeded repairs. excessive travel or a spongy feel. Bleed again if either con-

dition is present. telephone, etc.) on ABS-equipped vehicles, do not locate the antenna near the ABS control unit or any other control unit.
