Japan Specific Information

Notes on using the Bluetooth adapter in Japan

本製品が装備する無線アダプターは、電波法および電気通信事業法により技術基準認証を取得しています。本製品に組み込まれた無線設備を他の機器で使用する場合 は、当該機器が上記と同じく認証を受けていることをご確認ください。認証されていない 機器での使用は、電波法の規定により認められていません。

Table 1. Wireless LAN / Bluetooth Adapter

Bluetooth Dual-Use Wireless Device (For 2.4 GHz)

この機器の使用周波数帯では、電子レンジ等の産業・科学・医療用機器のほか工場の製造 ライン等で使用されている移動体識別用の構内無線局(免許を要する無線局)および特定 小電力無線局(免許を要しない無線局)並びにアマチュア無線局(免許を要する無線局) が運用されています。

(Note: The original document contains further details in Japanese regarding usage environment, safety, and contact information.)

Usage Environment and Comfort

Wireless LAN cards and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency electromagnetic waves, similar to other wireless devices. However, the impact of these electromagnetic waves on the human body is very low, unlike devices used in direct contact with the head, such as mobile phones.

Wireless LAN cards and Bluetooth devices operate in accordance with radio frequency safety standards and guidelines. Lenovo believes that consumers can safely use the built-in wireless card. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of scientific bodies and the results of frequent reviews and studies of extensive scientific literature.

Depending on the situation or environment, building owners or organizational representatives may restrict the use of wireless LAN cards or Bluetooth devices. Examples include:

• During airplane travel, in hospitals, or at gas stations.
• In locations with a risk of explosion (e.g., due to electrical ignition sources).
• For individuals with medical implants or pacemakers.

Using the built-in wireless card near such equipment or devices.

In situations where interference with other devices or functions is recognized or confirmed to be harmful.

If you are unsure whether wireless device use is permitted in a specific location (e.g., airports or hospitals), please ask before powering on your IdeaTab and using the wireless LAN card or Bluetooth device.

Technical Details
