Wireless-G Notebook Adapter

Connecting the Adapter

1. Locate an available CardBus slot on your notebook PC.
2. With the connector pin end facing the CardBus slot and the label facing up, slide the Adapter into the CardBus
slot until it locks in place.
3. Windows 98 and Windows Me users may need to restart their PCs again when prompted to do so. The Power
LED should light up when the Adapter is installed correctly.
4. Windows will begin copying the driver files to your computer. If Windows asks you for the original Windows
CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM, and direct Windows to its correct location (e.g., D:\).
5. Then, click Next.

Setting up the Adapter

The next screen to appear will be the Available Wireless Network screen.
This screen provides three options for setting up the Adapter.
• SecureEasySetup. This Adapter features SecureEasySetup. This means that you can set it up with just the
press of a button when connecting to wireless routers or access points that also feature SecureEasySetup.
Both devices on the network must feature SecureEasySetup for this to work.
• Available Wireless Network. (For most users.) Use this option if you already have a network set up with
devices that do not have SecureEasySetup. The networks available to this Adapter will be listed on this
screen. You can choose one of these networks and click the Connect button to connect to it. Click the
Refresh button to update the Available Wireless Network list.
• Manual Setup. If you are not taking advantage of SecureEasySetup and your network is not listed on this
screen, select Manual Setup to set up the adapter manually. This method of setting up the Adapter is
intended for Advanced Users only.
The setup for each option is described, step by step, under the appropriate heading on the following pages.
Click Exit to close the Setup Wizard, if you wish to set up the Adapter later.
