„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 much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as 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 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.

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.
