However, the level of energy emitted is far much lessthan the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for examplemobile phones.22
Because Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter operates within the guidelines foundin radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, IBM believesWireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter is safe for use by consumers. Thesestandards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientificcommunity and result from deliberations of panels and committees ofscientists who continually review and interpret the extensive researchliterature.In some situation or environment, the use of Wireless LAN Mini-PCI AdapterCard may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsiblerepresentatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:vUsing the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PC1 Adapter on board ofairplanes, or in hospitalsvIn any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices orservices is perceived or identified as harmful.If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices ina specific organization (e.g. airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask forauthorization to use Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter prior to turning on theThinkPad computer.23
Wireless regulatory noticeUSA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)The IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter (FCC ID:ANO20030400LEG) complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation issubject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference.2. This device must accept any interference received, including interferencethat may cause undesired operation.i) FCC ID and installationThis adapter is a user installable wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card. Your ThinkPadcomputer into which you can plug the card has no FCC ID on its enclosure.Instead you will find an indicator pointing the location of the FCC ID at thebottom side of your ThinkPad computer as shown below. The FCC ID isaffixed on the adapter installed in the Mini-PCI Card slot.If no integrated wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card has been preinstalled in yourThinkPad computer, you can install one provided by IBM as an option. Pleaseplug the option wireless card into the Mini-PCI Card slot as shown below.IBM ThinkPad R40 Series24
Attention for the BIOS protection:To use IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter, your ThinkPadcomputer must be an authorized model on which a special type of BIOS,called “Electronic Handshake,”is installed. Refer to page 1 as for the availablehost PC.ii) The FCC RF safety requirementThe radiated output power of the wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card is far belowthe FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, you need to use it insuch a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operationis minimized as follows:Caution: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, aseparation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) must be maintained betweenthe antenna for the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card built in to thescreen section and all persons.You are not allowed to disable “Stand-by mode”for the power managementfunction, if you can’t maintain the sufficient antenna separation (at least 20cm) in any case the LCD is left opened or closed.Note: The transmission diversity function is implemented for the Card. Thefunction does not emit radio frequencies simultaneously from bothantennas. One of the antennas is selected automatically or manually (byusers) to have good quality of radiocommunication.25
IBM ThinkPad R40 SeriesUse of wireless optionsThe IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter is approved for co-locateduse with the specific granted Bluetooth module in the CDC slot, and one ormore wireless option PC Cards in the PC Card slot or USB portsimultaneously. Please make sure of the following conditions on use of thesewireless features.1. Visit the IBM site at www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-43693.html andconfirm the updated list of RF option devices that have been approved tocooperate with the integrated wireless feature.2. When you use any other RF option device that is not listed on the IBMsite, all other wireless features including the integrated transmitter in yourThinkPad computer are required to be turned off.3. Users are requested to follow the RF Safety instructions on wireless optiondevices that are included in the RF option device’s user’s manual.iii) Interference StatementvThis device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to5.25GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors forthe frequency range 5.15 to 5.25GHz to reduce the potential for harmfulinterference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.vHigh power radar are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35GHz and5.65 to 5.85GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference withand/or damage this device.26
vAn improper installation or unauthorized use may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. Also any tampering of the internalantenna will void the FCC certification and your warranty. Refer to theEMC/Safety notices of this document for more detail.Canada —Industry Canada (IC)IC certification numberThe certification number of Industry Canada for the IBM 11a/b/g WirelessLAN Mini PCI Adapter (IC: 349E-PH12127E) is affixed on the moduleinstalled in the Mini-PCI Card slot as shown on page 25.InstallationThe adapter is a user installable wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card. If no integratedwireless LAN Mini-PCI Card has been preinstalled in your ThinkPadcomputer, you can install one provided by IBM as an option. Please plug theoption wireless card into the Mini-PCI Card slot as shown on page 25.Attention for the BIOS protection:To use IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter, your ThinkPadcomputer must be an authorized model on which a special type of BIOS,called “Electronic Handshake,”is installed.
