USA — Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

I. User installable Wireless LAN module

WLAN Mini PCI Express Cards:

v FCC ID: PPD-AR5BHB63-L (Model: AR5BHB63-L) v FCC ID: PD9LEN512ANMU (Model: 512AN_MMW)

Part Number: 45N3558

Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Cards marketed in the USA and Canada do not support nor function in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch).

For information concerning the wireless cards announced after the publication of this notice, visit the Web site at http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/ document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=tpad-matrix

i) The FCC RF Exposure compliance: The radiated output power of the Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Card authorized to use for the 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 antennas for the integrated Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Cards 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 ″Location of the UltraConnect wireless antennas″ section in Access Help.

Note: The transmission diversity function is implemented for this product. For WLAN card (Model: AR5BHB63-L) using Main and Auxiliary antennas for transmission in the 802.11 b/g transmission mode, radio frequency energy is not emitted simultaneously from both Main and Auxiliary antennas. One of the antennas is selected automatically or manually (by users) to have good quality of radiocommunication (transmission diversity function). For WLAN card (Model: 512AN_MMW) in the 802.11 a/b/g, or MIMO( Multiple In Multiple Out ) transmission mode, the radio frequency energy is emitted from Main antenna.

FCC ID of wireless module: There is no FCC ID for Mini PCI Express

ii)

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 ThinkPad 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 LAN/WiMAX” section in Access Help.

iii) Installation of approved wireless module: If no integrated wireless LAN 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 LAN/WiMAX connection″ section in Access Help.

Attention: The ThinkPad computers contain an authentication mechanism. If

you install an unauthorized wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Card that is

not approved for use in your computer, the computer will not start, but only displays an error message and emits audible beeps.

iv) Radio Frequency interference requirements:

v The devices have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device pursuant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B. The model AR5BHB63-L was subject to DoC. Refer to “Electronic emission notices” on page 8. The model 512AN_MMW underwent the certification process with each respective FCC ID number listed in “I. User installable Wireless LAN module” on page 1.

v Each device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to

5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires these products to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

v High power radar are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz

and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.

Preinstalled integrated Bluetooth module

II.

v FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1033 (Model: BCM92046MD_GEN)

FCC ID and installation of the module: If you find the FCC ID

“QDS-BRCM1033” on the label at the bottom side of your computer, your computer integrates the Bluetooth transmitter module (Model: BCM92046MD_GEN). The Bluetooth module is preinstalled by Lenovo, and is not removable by users. If your card requires replacement via the proper steps shown in ″Getting help and service″ of the Service and Troubleshooting Guide, shipped with your computer, Lenovo will request you to send your computer with the card to Lenovo so that Lenovo will repair it.

ii) The FCC RF safety requirement: The radiated output power of the Bluetooth module is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Therefore, a 20 cm of separation between the Bluetooth antenna and human body is not required.

For the location of the Bluetooth module “BCM92046MD_GEN” and its built-in antenna, see the ″About your computer″ section in Access Help.

iii) Radio Frequency interference requirements: The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for both a Class B digital device regarding FCC Part 15 Subpart B and an intentional radiator regarding FCC Part 15 Subpart C; then it underwent the certification processes for both rules. Thus the FCC ID QDS-BRCM1033 of this device includes both certifications of Part 15 Subpart B and C.

III. Simultaneous use of RF transmitters

Your ThinkPad computer is approved for simultaneous use of the transmitters listed below: v Wireless LAN adapter (FCC ID: PPD-AR5BHB63-L or PD9LEN512ANMU)

v Bluetooth module (FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1033)

make sure of the following conditions on use of these wireless features:

Please

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.

Canada — Industry Canada (IC)

IC Certification number

I) User installable Wireless LAN modules:

v IC: 4104A-ARBHB63L (Model: AR5BHB63-L) v IC: 1000M-L512ANMU (Model: 512AN_MMW)

Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Cards marketed in the USA and Canada do not support nor function in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch).

There is no certification number of Industry Canada for Mini PCI Express Card shown on the enclosure of your ThinkPad computer. Instead you will find an indicator pointing to the location of the IC Certification number on the bottom side of your ThinkPad computer. For the location of the IC Certification number indicator, see the “Location of the FCC ID and IC Certification number label” section in Access Help. The IC certification number 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 LAN/WiMAX” section in Access Help.

Attention: The ThinkPad computer contains an authentication mechanism. You

can install or remove each wireless feature by yourself. If you install an

unauthorized wireless adapter that is not approved for use in the ThinkPad computer, the computer will not start, but only displays an error message and emits audible beeps.

II) Preinstalled integrated Bluetooth module:

v IC: 4324A-BRCM1033 (Model: BCM92046MD_GEN)

If you find an indication “Contains Transmitter Module: Canada IC: 4324A-BRCM1033” on the label at the bottom side of your computer, your computer integrates the Bluetooth transmitter module. The Bluetooth module is preinstalled by Lenovo, and is not removable by users. If your card requires replacement via the proper steps shown in ″Getting help and service″ of the Service and Troubleshooting Guide, Lenovo will request you to send your computer with the card to Lenovo so that Lenovo will repair it.
