[Tom Tidwell] I have attached a letter that addresses each point.
The device actually snaps onto the top of the laptop case and is removable
by the user. The manufacturer will provide instructions to the OEM when the
device is sold as a module.

                                                                               Page 2 of 2

> rationale?
[Tom Tidwell] The radiated emissions for the device as an
unintentional radiator were tested in the full configuration. Since the
radio module was being tested as a stand-alone device, we did not fully
configure the PC with peripherals for the intentional (restricted bands)
testing. The Powerline conducted emissions test was done when the product
was being tested as an unintentional radiator and was fully configured. We
simply put the radio into TX mode and repeated the conducted emissions test.

[Tom Tidwell] I am attaching the label. The label is printed with
indelible ink and is made of UL approved material since it also serves as
the UL label.
