The following wireless modules are supported on Lenovo Yoga 2 11:
• BCM943142HM
•QCWB335
Read first — regulatory information
Please read this document before you use the Lenovo computer. Lenovo computer complies
with the radio frequency and safety standards of any country or region in which it has been
approved for wireless use. You must install and use your computer in strict accordance with
the instructions as described hereafter.
Veuillez lire ce document avant d’utiliser l’ordinateur Lenovo. L’ordinateur Lenovo est
conforme aux normes de sécurité et de radiofréquence du pays ou de la région où son
utilisation sans fil est agréée. Vous devez installer et utiliser votre ordinateur en respectant
scrupuleusement les instructions décrites ci-après.
USA — Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
I. Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN module
FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1063 (Model: BCM943142HM)
FCC ID: PPD-QCWB335 (Model: QCWB335)
Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Cards marketed in the USA and Canada do not support nor
function in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch).
i) The FCC RF Exposure compliance:
The radiated output power of the Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Card authorized to use for
the your Lenovo 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:
ii) FCC ID of wireless module:
On the bottom side of your Lenovo computer, you will find an indicator label of the format
“Contains Transmitter Module: FCC ID XXXX”, where XXXX represents the FCC ID that
corresponds to your preinstalled Wireless LAN module.
Note: The transmission diversity function is implemented for this product. For WLAN cards (Model:
BCM943142HM, QCWB335) using Main and Auxiliary antennas for transmission in the IEEE
802.11 b/g/n 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 cards BCM943142HM, QCWB335 in the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, or MIMO (Multiple In
Multiple Out ) transmission mode, the radio frequency energy is emitted from Main antenna.
Rev. AA00

iii) Radio Frequency interference requirement:
Each device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device
pursuant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B. Refer to “Electronic emission notices” on page 5.
The models BCM94330UARTSDB underwent the certification process with each respective
FCC ID number listed in “1. Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN module” on page 1.
II. Simultaneous use of RF transmitters
Please make sure of the following conditions on use of wireless features:
1. When you use any other RF option device, all wireless features in your Lenovo 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) Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN modules:
IC: 4324A-BRCM1063 (Model: BCM943142HM)
IC: 4104A-QCWB335 (Model: QCWB335)
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 Lenovo computer. Instead you will find an indicator label pointing to the
location of the IC Certification number on the bottom side of your Lenovo computer. This label
will be of the format “Contains Transmitter Module: Canada IC: XXXX”, where XXXX
represents the IC ID that corresponds to your preinstalled WLAN module.
II) Low power license-exempt radiocommunication devices (RSS-210):
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
The transmitter devices have been designed to operate with the antennas integrated in
Lenovo computer, and having a maximum gain of within 3 dBi.
III) Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102):
Lenovo computers employ low gain integral antennas that do not emit RF field in excess of
Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from
Health Canada’s Web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb
The radiated energy from the antennas connected to the wireless adapters conforms to the
IC limit of the RF exposure requirement regarding IC RSS-102, Issue 2 clause 4.2.

Numéro d’homologation IC
I) Modules de réseaux local sans fil pré-installé à l’usine:
IC: 4324A-BRCM1063 (Model: BCM943142HM)
IC: 4104A-QCWB335 (Model: QCWB335)
Les cartes de réseau local sans fil Express mini-PCI commercialisées aux Etats-Unis et au
Canada ne prennent pas en charge les canaux étendus (12ch, 13ch) et ne fonctionnent donc
pas sur de tels canaux.
Le boîtier de votre ordinateur Lenovo ne comporte pas de numéro d’homologation IC (Industry
Canada) pour la carte mini-PCI Express ; mais sous votre Lenovo, vous trouverez une étiquette
indicatrice pointant vers l’emplacement du numéro d’homologation IC. L’étiquette se présente
sous la forme “Contains Transmitter Module: Canada IC: XXXX” où XXXX représente l’ID IC qui
correspond au module WLAN préinstallé.
II) Remarque relative aux appareils de communication radio de faible puissance sans
licence (CNR-210):
Le fonctionnement de ce type d’appareil est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
1. Cet appareil ne doit pas perturber les communications radio, et
2. cet appareil doit supporter toute perturbation, y compris les perturbations qui pourraient
provoquer son dysfonctionnement.
Les périphériques d’émission sont conçus pour fonctionner avec des antennes intégrées aux
Lenovo et ayant un gain maximal de moins de 3 dBi.
III) Exposition des êtres humains aux champs radioélectriques (RF) (CNR-102):
L’ordinateur Lenovo utilise des antennes intégrales à faible gain qui n’émettent pas un
champ électromagnétique supérieur aux normes imposées par le Ministére de la santé
canadien pour la population. Consultez le Safety Code 6 sur le site Web du Ministére de la
santé canadien à l’adresse “www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb”.
L’énergie émise par les antennes reliées aux adaptateurs sans fil respecte la limite d’exposition
aux radiofréquences telle que définie par Industrie Canada dans la clause 4.2 du document
CNR-102.
Le gain d'antenne maximal autorisépour les appareils dans les bandes de fréquence 5250-5350
MHz, 5470-5725 MHz et 5725-5825 MHz est conforme àla limite p.i.r.e (puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente) définie dans la section A9.2 du CNR-210.
Lorsque vous utilisez une carte de réseau local sans fil dans le mode de transmission 802.11
a/n:
Les appareils destinés àla bande 5150-5250 MHz devront être exclusivement utillsés en
intérieur afin de réduire les risques de perturbations électromagnétiques gênantes sur les
systèmes de satellite mobile dans un même canal.
Les radars àforte puissance sont désignés comme les utilisateurs principaux (c'est-à-dire
qu'ils sont prioritaires) des bandes 5250-5350 MHz et.
5650-5850 MHz. lls peuvent provoquer des perturbations électromagnétiques sur les appareils
de type LELAN (réseau de communication local sans licence) ou les endommager.

or at www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be
specified in the instructions shipped with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return
instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included with the

Connecting USB devices
Your computer comes with two USB ports compatible with USB devices.
The first time you plug a USB device into a particular USB port on your computer, Windows
automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver has been installed, you can
disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring
data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows
notification area to remove the device before disconnecting.
Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after it has been connected, and then installs the driver
automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver before connecting.
Check the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer before connecting the device.
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before connecting it.
Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.
