I. The FCC RF safety requirement

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 antenna for the integrated Wireless LAN 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.

Note: The transmission diversity function is implemented for this product.

For WLAN cards (Models: AR5BXB6, AR5BXB63-L, WM3945ABG, 4965AG, and 4965AGN) using Main and Auxiliary antennas for transmission in the IEEE 802.11 a/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 the WLAN card (Model: 4965AGN) using MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out), multiple antennas (Main and Auxiliary) can transmit radio frequency energy simultaneously. For the WLAN card (Model: AR5BXB72) using either MIMO or IEEE

802.11 a/b/g transmission mode, multiple antennas (Main and Auxiliary) can transmit radio frequency energy simultaneously. Third antenna is also used with the Models: 4965AGN and AR5BXB72 on some models, and functions as Receive Only. It does not emit any radio frequency energy.
