IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
This warranty statement consists of two parts: Part 1 and Part 2. Be sure to
read Part 1 and the country-unique terms in Part 2 that apply to your country
or region.
Part 1 - General Terms: This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 -
General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace
or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement
of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and
not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine”means an IBM
machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any
combination of them. The term “Machine”does not include any software
programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or
otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply
only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement
of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be
waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your
reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free
from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official
Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine
is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date
on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller
informs you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and
IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of
purchase and your money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a
product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal
or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND
REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE
YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT
EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE
WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
5
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such
as assistance via telephone with “how-to”questions and those regarding
Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your reseller. If you
do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof
of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to
provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and
exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with
their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available
types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its
discretion, IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing
Machine and 2) provide the service either at your location or a service center.
IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes
that apply to the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships
CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to
IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are
responsible for downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal
Code updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media,
and following the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working
order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The
replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many
features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their
return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty
service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove
all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty
service.
6
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service
request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for
the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return
to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such
information from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other
contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or
limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property
and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if
recurring, 12 months’charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the
claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine”includes Machine
Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the
maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively
responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR
DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED
ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR
3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY
7
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST
SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS
INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Wireless interoperability
Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter is designed to be interoperable with any
wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:
vThe IEEE 802.11b Standard on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved by
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
vThe Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA (Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).
Usage environment and your health
Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy
like other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far much less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example
mobile phones.
22
Because Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter operates within the guidelines found
in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, IBM believes
Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter is safe for use by consumers. These
standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of
scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research
literature.
In some situation or environment, the use of Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter
Card may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:
vUsing the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PC1 Adapter on board of
airplanes, or in hospitals
vIn any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in
a specific organization (e.g. airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter prior to turning on the
ThinkPad computer.

Attention for the BIOS protection:
To use IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter, your ThinkPad
computer must be an authorized model on which a special type of BIOS,
called “Electronic Handshake,”is installed. Refer to page 1 as for the available
host PC.
ii) The FCC RF safety requirement
The radiated output power of the wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, you need to use it 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 Card built in to the
screen section and all persons.
You are not allowed to disable “Stand-by mode”for the power management
function, if you can’t maintain the sufficient antenna separation (at least 20
cm) in any case the LCD is left opened or closed.
Note: The transmission diversity function is implemented for the Card. The
function does not emit radio frequencies simultaneously from both
antennas. One of the antennas is selected automatically or manually (by
users) to have good quality of radiocommunication.
