TCB Requested Information
FCC ID : ANO20040600BTL
Applicant : International Business Machines Corporation
Correspondence Reference Number : 240722A.ANO
731 Confirmation Number : 4245
Original Requested Date : July 22, 2004
Subject 1) The statement listed in Section 15.21 of the Rules is required to be placed in every User's Manual
for a Part 15 device. The language in the submitted Manual Regulatory information, while similar,
does not state that the user's authority to operate the equipment may be voided if unauthorized
changes are made. Please modify the current language to bring it into line with the language
required by the Rule. This, of course, applies to both the 15C and 15E applications, as they have
the same manual.
Answer 1) IBM would revise the manual as follows by the product shipment. The sentence is common for
both the 15C and 15E since the applying module transmitter is a composite device.
Page 9 :
Subject 2) FYI - please note that for the Laptop PCs (R50 and T40), which have been approved
under DoC, the statement in Section 15.105(b) is required to be placed in the manual.
Answer 2) IBM provide the statement in Section 15.105(b) concerning Subpart B with a separate
manual. Please refer to the attachment in next page.
Sincerely, July 23, 2004
Toshiya Murota,
Staff Engineer, EMC Engineering,
Yamato Laboratory, IBM Japan Ltd.
iv) Radio Frequency interference requirements
An improper installation or unauthorized use may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Also, unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
