Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo module
FCC ID: PD93160NGU (Model: 3160NGW)
FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1075 (Model: BCM943162ZP)
FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1076 (Model: BCM94352Z)
FCC ID: PPD-QCNFA34AC (Model: QCNFA34AC)
FCC ID: PPD-QCNFA335 (Model: QCNFA335) Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo 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 + Bluetooth Combo 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 connected to the wireless module and all persons. If the distance may not be maintained while the computer display is closed, you must set sleep as the power mode when closing the display. ii) FCC ID of wireless module:
On the bottom side of your Lenovo computer, you will find an indicator label of the format Contains Transmitter Module: FCC ID XXXX, where XXXX represents the FCC ID that corresponds to your preinstalled Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo module. iii) Radio Frequency interference requirement:
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 5. When you use a Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo module in the 802.11 a/n transmission mode:
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. II. Simultaneous use of RF transmitters Make sure of the following conditions on use of wireless features:
1. When you use any other RF option device, all wireless features 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. 2 Canada Industry Canada (IC) IC Certification number I) Factory preinstalled Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo modules:
IC: 1000M-3160NG (Model: 3160NGW)
IC: 4324A-BRCM1075 (Model: BCM943162ZP)
IC: 4324A-BRCM1076 (Model: BCM94352Z)
IC: 4104A-QCNFA34AC (Model: QCNFA34AC)
IC: 4104A-QCNFA335 (Model: QCNFA335) Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo Mini PCI Express Cards marketed in the USA and Canada do not support nor function in the extended channels (12ch, 13ch). There is no certification number of Industry Canada 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 IC Certification number on the bottom side of your Lenovo computer. This label will be of the format Contains Transmitter Module: Canada IC: XXXX, where XXXX represents the IC ID that corresponds to your preinstalled WLAN module. II) 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. The transmitter devices have been designed to operate with the antennas integrated in Lenovo computer, and having a maximum gain of within 3 dBi. III) Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102):
Lenovo 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 Canadas Web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb The radiated energy from the antennas connected to the wireless adapters conforms to the IC limit of the RF exposure requirement regarding IC RSS-102, Issue 4 clause 4.2. 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 in section A9.2 of RSS-210. When you use a Wireless LAN and Bluetooth Combo module adapter in the 802.11 a/n transmission mode:
The devices for the band 5150-5250 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 bands and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LELAN (Licence-Exempt Local Area Network) devices. 3 Numro dhomologation IC I) Modules de rseaux local sans fil pr-install lusine:

Le botier de votre ordinateur Lenovo ne comporte pas de numro dhomologation IC (Industry Canada) pour la carte mini-PCI Express ; mais sous votre Lenovo, vous trouverez une tiquette indicatrice pointant vers lemplacement du numro dhomologation IC. Ltiquette se prsente sous la forme Contains Transmitter Module: Canada IC: XXXX o XXXX reprsente lID IC qui correspond au module WLAN prinstall. II) Remarque relative aux appareils de communication radio de faible puissance sans licence (CNR-210):
Le fonctionnement de ce type dappareil est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
1. Cet appareil ne doit pas perturber les communications radio, et 2. cet appareil doit supporter toute perturbation, y compris les perturbations qui pourraient provoquer son dysfonctionnement. Les priphriques dmission sont conus pour fonctionner avec des antennes intgres aux Lenovo et ayant un gain maximal de moins de 3 dBi. III) Exposition des tres humains aux champs radiolectriques (RF) (CNR-102):
Lordinateur Lenovo utilise des antennes intgrales faible gain qui nmettent pas un champ lectromagntique suprieur aux normes imposes par le Ministre de la sant canadien pour la population. Consultez le Safety Code 6 sur le site Web du Ministre de la sant canadien ladresse www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
