IBM ThinkPad T40 User manual

FCC Test Report, FCC ID: ANO20040600BTL Document Number: FCC 19-0272-0
Prepared by T. Murota
User’s Manual
(for ThinkPad R50 and T40 Series)
The attachment is the part of the user’s manual of the specific host devices (IBM ThinkPad R50
and T40 Series) that indicates the regulatory notices concerning the FCC Part 15 and IC RSS-
210/102.
The notice consists of two separate packages which are delivered associated with each host PC
device. PN (Part Number) 92P2256 : for ThinkPad R50 Series
92P2253 : for ThinkPad T40 Series
Only the latter one is attached representatively for volume saving, but the contents of both are
almost the same thanks to the same conceptual design of hardware configuration.

Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Cards marketed in the USA and Canada, except models WM3B2100 and
PH12127-E, do not support nor function in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch). If you use the model
WM3B2100 or PH12127-E with your ThinkPad computer, you must not select the Extended Channel
Mode to avoid the unlikely possibility of unauthorized operation when the device is operated in the
USA and Canada.

i) FCC ID of wireless modules
There is no FCC ID for Mini-PCI Cards shown on the enclosure of your ThinkPad computer. Instead you
will find an indicator pointing to the location of the FCC ID on the bottom side of your ThinkPad
computer as shown in the figure i-1). Also the location of the FCC ID’s indicator for CDC is shown in
the figure i-2). The FCC IDs are affixed on each approved module installed in the Mini-PCI Card slot or
the CDC slot.

ii) Installation of approved wireless modules
If no integrated wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card or RF CDC module is preinstalled in your ThinkPad
computer, you can install one, provided by IBM as an option. Plug the wireless card option into the
Mini-PCI Card slot or CDC slot located under the keyboard of your ThinkPad computer as shown on
the next page.

Attention: The ThinkPad T40 Series computer contains an authentication mechanism
If
you install an unauthorized wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card or RF CDC module that is not approved for
use in the ThinkPad T40 Series computer, the computer will not start, but only displays an error
message and emits beeps.
USA — Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 5

iii) The FCC RF safety requirement
The radiated output power of the Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Cards or RF CDC module authorized to use
for the ThinkPad T40 Series computer is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the ThinkPad T40 Series computer 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
Card built in to the screen section and all persons. You are not allowed to disable “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.

Note: The antenna of the model BMDC200 is located on the left side of the computer lid in the
ThinkPad T40 Series 14-inch model, or on the bottom of the computer lid in the ThinkPad T40
Series 15-inch model. Transmitted energy from the Bluetooth device is very low compared to other
RF devices. Therefore a 20 cm separation from the Bluetooth antenna is not required.

T40 Series Regulatory Notice

Use of wireless options
Your ThinkPad computer is approved for use of one of the granted Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Cards
together with the granted Bluetooth module in the CDC slot and Bluetooth PC Card II option in the PC
Card slot simultaneously. Please make sure of the following conditions on use of these wireless features.
1. Visit the IBM site at www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-53286.html and confirm the updated list of
RF option devices that have been approved to cooperate with the integrated wireless feature.
2. When you use any other RF option device that is not listed on the IBM site, all other wireless
features including the integrated transmitter in your ThinkPad computer are required to be turned
off.
3. Users must follow the RF Safety instructions on wireless option devices that are included in the RF
option device’s user’s manual.
iv) Radio Frequency interference requirements
An improper installation or unauthorized use may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Also any tampering of the internal antenna will void the FCC certification and your warranty. Refer to
the “Appendix C. Notices, Electronic emission notices” of the ThinkPad T40 Series Service and
Troubleshooting Guide for more detail.
When you use the models PH12127-E (IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter), AR5BMB-44
(IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II) or WM3B2915ABG MW2 (Intel PRO/Wireless
WM3B2915 ABG Mini-PCI Adapter from IBM):
v This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.
FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
v High power radar are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands.
These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.

Attention: The ThinkPad T40 Series computer contains an authentication mechanism
You
can install or remove each wireless feature by yourself. If you install an unauthorized wireless
adapter that is not approved for use in the ThinkPad T40 Series computer, the computer will not start,
but only displays an error message and emits beeps.
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.
When
you use the models PH12127-E (IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter), AR5BMB-44
(IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II) or WM3B2915ABG MW2 (Intel PRO/Wireless
WM3B2915 ABG Mini-PCI Adapter from IBM):

interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
v High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250–5350 MHz
and 5650–5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LELAN
(Licence-Exempt Local Area Network) devices.
Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102)
ThinkPad T40 Series 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
