• USB stick
• CD with driver/software
• Manufacturer's operating instructions in English
• Quick guide
Features
• USB connection, USB2.0
• Bluetooth 3.0+HS, Class II, up to 10 m maximum range (unrestricted fi eld)
• WLAN 802.11 b/g/n
Driver Installation, Connection
Do not connect the USB stick yet! The enclosed software must be installed fi rst.
Following a different sequence may prevent the Bluetooth stick from being
recognized correctly or cause the software not to work properly.
• Insert the enclosed CD in an appropriate drive on your computer. If the installation software
does not start automatically, it must be started manually from the main directory on the CD
(e.g. "AutoLoader.exe").
• Click on "Bluetooth" in the installation window and follow all the instructions of the software or
Windows.
• Click on "WiFi" in the installation window and follow all the instructions of the software or
Windows. After this, Windows will need to be restarted.
• After the restart (once Windows has fully reloaded), connect the USB stick to the computer.
Windows recognises the new hardware and completes the installation.
• The software can now be used to search for available Bluetooth devices, e.g. a mobile
phone.
In addition, Windows can confi gure a WLAN connection, e.g. to a WLAN router.
Tips & Notes
• USB does not function when DOS or Windows are in the safe mode (or restricted solely to
USB keyboard/mouse). The USB stick cannot be operated in this case.
• If there is a network or system administrator who is responsible for your network (for example
in a larger company) let him or her set up the connection and the confi guration. Do not install
the device yourself.
• The indicated maximum data transfer rate (e.g. 54MBit for 802.11b/g, which means about
6.5MByte/s) is never obtained in reality. The same applies to 802.11n. This is due to different
transfer mode systems, transmission errors, the distance between WLAN stations, etc.
• It can take Windows a while before the computers become visible in the network. If neces-
sary, check the access rights (depending on the operating system used) or the fi rewall or
anti-virus program settings.
There are numerous possible reasons why a network connection does not succeed. Please
refer to the appropriate technical literature or consult an expert.
• If you are not using a DHCP server (e.g. integrated in all WLAN DSL routers), you should
assign a fi xed IP address to each PC (and, of course, to all other devices in the network, e.g.
to the router, network printer or similar).
For example, set the fi rst computer to 192.168.1.1, the second to 192.168.1.2, etc. The fi rst
three numbers must be the same for all the computers, the last number can range from 1 to
254. The "Subnet-Mask" has to be set to 255.255.255.0 on all computers.
Please note that, an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) must not be assigned twice in the same
network.
• WLAN network connections must be encoded, in order to prevent unauthorized access,

e.g. to your WLAN-DSL router. The best type of encryption to use is "WPA2".
• The wireless coverage depends on the ambient conditions, and can be restricted by:
Version 06/12
- High-frequency interference of all types (computers, monitors, mobile phones)
- Any kind of housing and vegetation
- Conductive metal parts that are close to or inside the device, e.g. cables, radiators, metal-
lised insulated glass windows, reinforced concrete fl oors, etc. and even the computer case.
- Infl uences on the aerial's transmission characteristics, due to the distance from
the transmitter or receiver to conducting areas or objects (including the human body
- Broadband interference in urban areas that reduces the signal-to-noise ratio; the signal is
not recognised because of the "noise"
- Irradiation from insuffi ciently shielded electronic devices, e.g. computers operated openly,
or similar.
- Movement of the receiver/transmitter
- Too short/long distance from the receiver/transmitter
- Other devices in the 2.4 GHz Band (e.g. wireless video transmission systems)
• The max. data transfer rate decreases with increasing distance. However, you should not
position another Bluetooth device in direct proximity to the USB stick; maintain a distance of
at least 30 cm.
