Wireless WAN adapter is only certified with the FCC.
I. FCC ID of wireless module
The Wireless WAN adapter (Model: F3507g) was certified under the FCC ID:
VV7-MBMF3507G-L, but there is no FCC ID for the card shown on the
enclosure of your ThinkPad computer. Instead you will find an indicator
pointing to the location of the FCC ID on the bottom side of your computer.
For the location of the FCC ID indicator, see the “Location of the FCC ID and
IC Certification number label” section in Access Help. The FCC ID is affixed on
the approved module installed in the Mini PCI Express Card slot. For the
location of the slot, see the “PCI Express Mini Card slot for wireless WAN”
section in Access Help.
Part Number: 45N3556
II. Installation of approved wireless module
If no integrated wireless WAN Mini PCI Express Card has been preinstalled in
your ThinkPad computer, you can install one, provided by Lenovo as an
option. Plug the wireless card option into the Mini PCI Express Card slot.
For the installation procedure, see the ″Installing and replacing the PCI
Express Mini Card for wireless WAN connection″ section in Access Help.
Attention: The ThinkPad computers contain an authentication mechanism.
If
you install an unauthorized wireless WA N Mini PCI Express Card that is
not approved for use in your computer, the computer will not start, but only

III. FCC RF safety requirement
The radiated output power of the Wireless WAN Mini PCI Express Card
authorized to use for your ThinkPad computer is far below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, it shall be used in such a manner
that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized as
follows:
Caution: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a
separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) must be maintained between
the antenna for the integrated Wireless WAN Mini PCI Express Card built
into the screen section and all persons. You are not allowed to disable
″sleep (standby) mode″ for the power management function, if you cannot
maintain the sufficient antenna separation (at least 20 cm) in any case the
LCD is left opened or closed.
For the location of the antenna, see the ″About your computer″ section in
Access Help.
IV. Emergency Calls
The Wireless WAN adapters embedded in the ThinkPad computer do not
support voice calls, hence their use for essential communication is not
possible, including emergency calls regarding the E911 rule.
V. Simultaneous use of RF transmitters
If your ThinkPad computer contains the Wireless LAN adapter (FCC ID:
PPD-AR5BHB63-L, PD9LEN512ANMU, or PD9533ANMU) or the Bluetooth
module (FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1033), the Wireless WAN adapter (Model:
F3507g) is approved for simultaneous use with these radio devices.
Please make sure of the following conditions on use of these wireless features:
1. When you use any other RF option device, all other wireless features
including the above integrated devices in your ThinkPad computer are
required to be turned off.
2. Users must follow the RF Safety instructions on wireless option devices
that are included in the RF option device’s user’s manual.
