information concerning the wireless cards announced after the publication of this notice, visit the
Web site at www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-43693.html
IBM 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter marketed in US and Canada does not support nor function
in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch).
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 the location of the FCC ID at the bottom side of your ThinkPad computer
as shown below in the figure i-1). Also the location of the FCC ID’s indicator for CDC is shown by 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. Please plug the option wireless card into
the Mini-PCI Card slot or CDC slot located under the expansion slot cover of your ThinkPad computer
as shown below.

Attention for the authentication mechanism
If
you install an unauthorized wireless LAN Mini-PCI Card or RF CDC module that is not approved to
use for the ThinkPad X40 Series computer, the computer does not start, but only displays an error
message and emits beeps.

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 X40 Series computer is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the ThinkPad X40 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.

Model: T60H786 (IBM 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter)). 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.

Integrated
Bluetooth Antenna
Note: The antenna of IBM Integrated Bluetooth III with 56K Modem is located on the bottom of the
computer lid. 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.
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. 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-43693.html and confirm the 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 are requested to 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
12

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.
v 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 D. Notices, Electronic emission notices” of the ThinkPad X40 Series
Service and Troubleshooting Guide for more detail.
