NOTICE

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:

— Change the direction and position of the receiving antenna.
— Increase the distance 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 WARNING

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Declaration of Conformity

Trade Name : SONY

Model No. : PEGA-WL110

Responsible Party : Sony Electronics Inc.

Address : 680 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell, NJ 07649 USA

Telephone No. : 201-930-6972

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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The Wireless LAN Card (PEGA-WL110) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the Wireless LAN Card (PEGA-WL110) has been shown to be 0.962 W/kg at body.

The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

IC Exposure of Humans to RF Fields

The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website:www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

For customers in Europe:

Sony Corporation hereby declares that this Wireless LAN Card is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE).

To obtain a copy of the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) with the R&TTE Directive, please access the following URL address: http://www.compliance.sony.de

In some countries the use of the Wireless LAN Card is restricted. Before using it, make sure you read the Wireless LAN Regulations leaflet of this product.

Inserting the Wireless LAN card in your CLIÉ handheld

Insert the Wireless LAN card into the Wireless Communication Slot of the CLIÉ handheld.

Notes

• Insert the Wireless LAN card squarely into the slot.
• Do not insert the Wireless LAN card in the wrong way. Forcing it in the wrong way will damage it and cause a malfunction.
• You may be unable to use the Wireless LAN card when the remaining power of the battery in the CLIÉ handheld is low. Before use, charge the battery fully.
• If your CLIÉ handheld does not recognize the Wireless LAN card after insertion, remove the card and insert it into the slot again.

Insert the Wireless LAN card all the way into the slot until it is connected.

Removing the Wireless LAN card from your CLIÉ handheld

After use, stop all communication. Then, pull the Wireless LAN card up and out, keeping it straight.

When using this Wireless LAN card with a Flip&Rotate style CLIÉ handheld

Do not rotate the display when the Wireless LAN card is inserted in the Wireless Communication Slot of the CLIÉ handheld. This may press the display panel against the Wireless LAN card and cause a malfunction.

Note

During communication, do not remove the Wireless LAN card or subject the CLIÉ handheld to excessive shock.

Installing the Software

When you try to perform Wireless LAN communications for the first time after inserting the Wireless LAN card in your CLIÉ handheld, you need to install the Wireless LAN utility on your CLIÉ handheld. You can install the Wireless LAN utility by using the supplied CD-ROM.

Tip

The Wireless LAN utility supplied with your Wireless LAN card (PEGA-WL110) can be used with both PEGA-WL100 and PEGA-WL110.

If you are using the PEGA-WL100, also install the Wireless LAN utility by using the supplied CD-ROM with your Wireless LAN card (PEGA-WL110).

Note

Before installation, it is necessary to have Palm Desktop for CLIÉ installed and to perform a HotSync operation. Connect the CLIÉ handheld to a Windows computer, using a cradle, etc. For details on how to connect the CLIÉ handheld to the computer, see the Operating Instructions of your CLIÉ handheld.

1 Perform a soft reset on your CLIÉ handheld.

For details on how to perform a soft reset, see the Operating Instructions of your CLIÉ handheld.

2 Insert the supplied CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of your Windows computer.

The installer starts and the initial screen appears.

Tip

If the installer does not start automatically, double-click [setup] (setup.exe) which can be found on the CD-ROM.

3 Proceed with the installation, following the installer's instructions.

On the user name selection screen, select a user's name.

Note

If you want to use more than one CLIÉ handheld, you need to install this utility on each CLIÉ handheld.

4 Click [Done] in Install Tool window.

Your computer is ready to install the Wireless LAN utility on your CLIÉ handheld. In the next step, you will perform a HotSync operation to carry out the installation.

5 Click the Ⓧ icon in the task tray (Notification area) that is located in the bottom right-hand corner of the Windows display on your computer.

The [Local USB] check box should be selected in the shortcut menu on the display.

The Wireless LAN utility is installed on your CLIÉ handheld.

Note

Part of this software application extends into the system of CLIÉ handheld. Therefore, it cannot be uninstalled.

After you perform a hard reset

Make sure you reinstall this utility.

After a hard reset, normally, the backup data on a personal computer is automatically restored to your CLIÉ handheld through a HotSync operation. However, this utility restores only the setting file when a HotSync operation is performed, and it does not restore the utility itself. Therefore, it is necessary to reinstall this utility after a hard reset.
