„Wireless interoperability
Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card is designed to be interoperable with 
any wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread 
Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK), and/or 
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology, 
and is compliant to:
 The IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Standard on Wireless LANs, as defined and 
approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
 The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi 
Alliance.
Bluetooth Daughter Card is designed to be interoperable with any Bluetooth 
product that is compliant to Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR as defined by 
the Bluetooth SIG. Following profiles are supported by Bluetooth Daughter 
Card:

„Usage environment and your health
Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card and Bluetooth Daughter Card emit 
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.
Due to the fact that wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card and Bluetooth 
Daughter Card operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency 
safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes the integrated 
wireless cards are safe for use by consumers. These standards and 
recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and

Appendix E. Notices
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 PCI Express 
Mini Card or Bluetooth Daughter Card may be restricted by the proprietor 
of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These 
situations may for example include:
 Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, or in hospitals
 In 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 PCI Express Mini 
Card or Bluetooth Daughter Card prior to turning on the computer.
„Safety information related to Mobile Broadband
1Do not use the Mobile Broadband feature on your computer in highly 
flammable areas (e.g. gas station) or near blasting. Though it is rare, 
the Mobile Broadband module, like other cellular network devices, 
could generate a spark. 
2Avoid using Mobile Broadband feature outdoors during a 
thunderstorm.  
						

							Appendix E. Notices
95
3Use of mobile devices on board aircraft is explicitly prohibited by many 
airlines companies, especially during take-off and landing. The built-in 
Mobile Broadband module on your computer is a low-power radio 
transceiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and transmits 
radio frequency (RF) energy which could cause interference with the 
operation of the airplane communication or navigation system. Refer to 
rules or regulations of your airline company for Mobile Broadband use. 
Never enable Mobile Broadband feature on your computer unless you are 
explicitly permitted to do so. 
4Follow restrictions when using your computer in hospitals. Some 
equipments in hospitals are sophisticated and are susceptible to 
electromagnetic interference. Do not enable Mobile Broadband feature near 
medical equipment without requesting permission.
5The Mobile Broadband communication may affect the operation of 
implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. 
Patients with cardiac pacemakers should be well aware that use of Mobile 
Broadband feature on this computer may cause the implanted device to 
malfunction. If patients have any doubt that there is interference taking 
place, immediately disable the wireless radio on the computer and contact 
the doctor for more information. 
6The Mobile Broadband module embedded in your computer does not 
support voice calls, hence their use for essential communications is not 
possible. Therefore you should never rely upon the device for essential 
communications.

„Products with television tuner options installed
The notice below applies to products containing television (TV) tuner 
devices that connect to external antennas or to cable/CATV systems, or 
both, and that are intended to be installed in North America. Users and 
installers in other countries should follow local codes and ordinances 
when installing appliances that connect to external antennas and cable/
CATV systems. If local codes are not applicable, it is recommended that 
users/installers follow guidelines similar to those that follow.
The TV tuner should connect to TNV-1 circuit only.
When install the coaxial cable to the TV tuner should make sure its metal 
shield is reliable connected to protective earthing system of the building.
„Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer ’s attention to 
Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides 
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable 
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as 
close as possible to the point of cable entry as practical.
