Preinstalled wireless LAN module
The wireless LAN module in your computer is preinstalled by Lenovo®, and you are prohibited to replace with other wireless adapter or remove it. If the device requires replacement due to some problem during warranty, it must be serviced by a Lenovo authorized servicer.

FCC RF exposure compliance
The radiated output power of the wireless LAN module authorized to use for your 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:
The total radiated energy from the antennas connected to the installed wireless LAN module, conforms to the FCC limit of the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) requirement, regarding 47 CFR Part 2 section 1093, when the computer was tested in either conventional notebook or tablet computer orientations.
The transmission antennas for the wireless LAN module are located in the LCD cover. See the User Guide for the location of the antennas.

Radio Frequency interference requirements
Each device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B. Refer to “Electronic emission notices” on page 7.
When you use a wireless LAN module in the 802.11 a/n/ac/ax/be transmission mode, note that high power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5250 to 5350 MHz and 5650 to 5850 MHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.

Simultaneous use of RF transmitters
Your computer is approved for simultaneous use of one of the approved wireless LAN modules, the approved wireless WAN module, and the approved NFC module.

Make sure of the following conditions when you use any other external RF option device:

When you use any other RF option device, you are requested to confirm that the device conforms to the RF Safety requirement and is approved to use for your computer.

• You must follow the RF Safety instructions of the RF option device that are included in the user manual of the RF option device.
• If the RF option device is prohibited to use in conjunction with another transmitters, you must turn off all other wireless features in your computer.

Preinstalled wireless LAN module

The IC Certification number for the wireless LAN module is shown on the enclosure of your computer. For the location of the IC Certification number, see the User Guide .
Attention: The wireless LAN module in your computer is preinstalled by Lenovo, and you are prohibited to replace with other wireless adapter nor remove it. If the device requires replacement due to some problem during warranty, it must be serviced by a Lenovo authorized servicer.

Low power license-exempt radiocommunication devices
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

When you use a wireless LAN module in the 802.11 a/n/ac/ax/be transmission mode, note the following:

• The devices for the band 5150–5350 MHz are only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems
• 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 LE-LAN (Licence-Exempt Local Area Network) devices.
• The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the 5250-5350 MHz, 5470-5725 MHz, and 5725-5825 MHz bands complies with the e.i.r.p. limit.
• Devices operating in the 5925-7125 MHz band shall not be used for control of or communications with unmanned aircraft systems.

Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102)
The computer employs 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 Web site at: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/
The radiated energy from the antennas connected to the wireless modules conforms to the Canada Portable RF exposure limit regarding ISED RSS-102 Issue 5, Section 4 set forth for an uncontrolled environment, and are safe for intended operation in the conventional setting. Further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.
Refer to “Product overview” in User Guidefor the antennas location.

Location of the FCC ID and IC ID
If you purchased your computer in the United States or Canada, and the computer includes factory- preinstalled wireless modules, a piece of text containing identification strings for these modules (FCC ID and IC ID) is visible on the computer’s bottom cover. The text may either be laser etched on the bottom cover or on a physical label affixed to it. To obtain the FCC ID or IC ID for the factory-preinstalled wireless module, check the bottom cover for strings directly after “FCC ID” or “IC ID”.
