Original Requested Date           :  April 13, 2002
Subjects : EMC portion
With regard to your new request to implement method for replacing a broken WLAN card by the
user themselves.
Subject 1) Please provide correspondence for the acceptance by FCC on February 2002 about
  your proposal.
Answer 1)
 
Please refer the 
Attechment-1
 of this correspondence.
Subject 2) Will this be only for broken WLAN cards and not for upgrade options?
Answer 2)
 
We plan to support only broken WLAN cards for the ANOCORN1TASUHOP.
Subject 3) Will the (BIOS Lock) be used with other notebook computers?
Subject 4) Will the WLAN card be used with other notebook computers?
Answer 3/4)
 
Yes, we plan to add other notebook computers with BIOS Lock mechanism, and will
    have the FCC authorizations for each PC model with different FCC IDs.
Subject 5) If the WLAN card will be used with other computers, will a different output power be used?
  Will different antennas be used?    How would you ensure that SAR compliance?
Answer 5)
We have no plan to modify the applying WLAN card.  i.e. The conducted output power
   must be the same.
  - Yes, different antennas will be used for other computers 
after
 being certified with
   different FCC IDs.
- Usually the antennas of our products are located at the top of LCD panel, so they may
  be subjected to MPE. If we will have a different design (like a keyboard antenna), we
  will have the SAR testing in accordance with the latest FCC rule.
  note) We need to confirm the treatment for transmitters below 10mW whether it may be
      allowed MPE or not.
Subject 6) Does the (BIOS Lock) check the proper antenna and card combination?
Answer 6) The BIOS Lock checks the peculiar information of each authorized card, not checks
  any antenna info.  Because the integrated antenna is (will be) unique for each PC
  model, so the BIOS does not need to detect the antenna type of its own host unit.
  Please refer the 
Attechment-2
 adding more details of the BIOS Lock.
