Mini PCI Express Card and the Bluetooth module in your computer, it
is not a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU). If one of your cards
requires replacement or repair, Lenovo will request you to send your
computer with the preinstalled card(s) to Lenovo so that Lenovo will
repair it.
Veuillez lire ce document avant d’utiliser l’ordinateur Lenovo.
L’ordinateur Lenovo est conforme aux normes de sécurité et de
radiofréquence du pays ou de la région où son utilisation sans fil est
agréée. Vous devez installer et utiliser votre ordinateur en respectant
scrupuleusement les instructions décrites ci-après.

USA — Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
I. Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN/WiMAX module
• FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1028 (Model: BCM94312MCG)
• FCC ID: PD9LEN512ANMU (Model: 512AN_MMW)
• FCC ID: PD9512ANXMU (Model: 512ANXMMW)
Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Cards marketed in the USA and Canada
do not support nor function in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch).
i) The FCC RF Exposure compliance:
The radiated output power of the Wireless LAN/WiMAX Mini PCI
Express Card authorized to use for the your Lenovo computer is far
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, it 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 antennas for the integrated Wireless LAN/WiMAX Mini
PCI Express Cards built into the screen section and all persons. You
are not allowed to disable “sleep (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 transmission diversity function is implemented for this
product. For WLAN card (Model: BCM94312MCG) using Main
and Auxiliary antennas for transmission in the IEEE 802.11 b/g
transmission mode, radio frequency energy is not emitted
simultaneously from both Main and Auxiliary antennas. One of
the antennas is selected automatically or manually (by users) to
have good quality of radiocommunication (transmission
diversity function). For WLAN card (Model: 512AN_MMW,
512ANXMMW) in the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, or MIMO ( Multiple
In Multiple Out ) transmission mode, the radio frequency
energy is emitted from Main antenna.
ii) FCC ID of wireless module:
There is no FCC ID for Mini PCI Express Card shown on the enclosure of
your Lenovo computer. Instead you will find an indicator label pointing to
the location of the FCC ID on the bottom side of your Lenovo computer.
This label will be of the format “Contains Transmitter Module: FCC ID:
XXXX”, where XXXX represents the FCC ID that corresponds to your
preinstalled Wireless LAN/WiMAX module.
iii) Radio Frequency interference requirements:
• The devices have been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device pursuant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B. The
model BCM94312MCG was subject to DoC. Refer to “Electronic
emission notices” on page 12. The model 512AN_MMW,
512ANXMMW underwent the certification process with its FCC ID
number listed in “I. Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN/WiMAX
module” on page 2.

• Each device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to
5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires these products 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.
• 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.
II. Preinstalled integrated Bluetooth module
• FCC ID: MCLBCM92046 (Model: BCM92046)
• FCC ID: RK9-BTC04R310A (Model: BTC04R310A)
i) FCC ID and installation of the module:
If you find an indication “Contains Transmitter Module: FCC ID:
MCLBCM92046” on the label at the bottom side of your computer,
your computer contains the Bluetooth transmitter module (Model:
BCM92046). The Bluetooth module is preinstalled by Lenovo, and is not
removable by users.
ii) The FCC RF safety requirement:
The radiated output power of the Bluetooth module is far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Therefore, a 20 cm of separation
between the Bluetooth antenna and human body is not required.

iii) Radio Frequency interference requirements:
The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
both a Class B digital device regarding FCC Part 15 Subpart B and an
intentional radiator regarding FCC Part 15 Subpart C; then it
underwent the certification processes for both rules. Thus the FCC ID
MCLBCM92046 of this device includes both certifications of Part 15
Subpart B and C.
III. Simultaneous use of RF transmitters
Your Lenovo computer is approved for simultaneous use of the
transmitters listed below:
• Wireless LAN adapter (FCC ID: PD9LEN512ANMU, PD9512ANXMU
or QDS-BRCM1028
)
•Bluetooth module (FCC ID: MCLBCM92046
, RK9-BTC04R310A)
Please make sure of the following conditions on use of these wireless
features:
1. When you use any other RF option device, all other wireless features
including the above integrated devices in your Lenovo computer are
required to be turned off.
2. Users must follow the RF Safety instructions on wireless option
devices that are included in the RF option device’s user’s manual.
