Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves

ICNIRP Guidelines

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for your device model are listed below:

During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. If you are interested in further reducing your RF exposure, you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.

FCC and IC Guidelines

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC). These limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the FCC and IC guidelines for your device model are listed below:

During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. If you are interested in further reducing your RF exposure, you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.

Notes for Using Wireless LAN and Bluetooth Adapters in Japan

For model: TB128XU

This product's built-in wireless adapters have obtained technical standards certification according to the Radio Law and the Telecommunications Business Act. When using the wireless equipment incorporated in this product with other devices, please verify that those devices have also obtained the same certification. Use with uncertified devices is not permitted by the Radio Law.

This is a wireless device for both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth.

For 5 GHz band:

If your ThinkPad is equipped with wireless equipment compliant with IEEE802.11a/n, its use in the 5.15-5.35 GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use according to the Radio Law (use outdoors is prohibited).

For 2.4 GHz band:

The frequency bands used by this device are also used by industrial, scientific, and medical equipment (e.g., microwave ovens), factory production lines, private wireless stations (requiring licenses), and specified low-power radio stations (not requiring licenses), as well as amateur radio stations (requiring licenses).

1. Before using this device, please confirm that private wireless stations and specified low-power radio stations, as well as amateur radio stations, are not operating nearby.
2. If harmful interference occurs from this device to a private wireless station, promptly change the operating frequency or stop transmitting radio waves, and then contact the following for consultation on measures to avoid interference.
3. For other issues, such as harmful radio interference to private wireless stations or amateur radio stations, please contact the following. For information on using the Lenovo Smart Center, please check the following homepage: http://support.lenovo.com/ja_JP/phone

The above content is based on the intent of ARIB STD-T66 by the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses.

For BT:

Bluetooth Adapter:

This device is a wireless device using frequency hopping (FH) in the 2.4 GHz frequency band (2400 to 2483.5 MHz), meaning an interference distance of approximately 10 m.

Security Precautions When Using Wireless LAN Products

With Wireless LAN, information is exchanged between PCs and wireless access points using radio waves instead of LAN cables. This offers the advantage of freely connecting to LAN within the range of radio waves.

However, radio waves can reach all locations within a certain range, even through obstacles like walls. If security settings are not configured, the following problems may occur:

• Malicious third parties may eavesdrop on communication content, stealing personal information such as IDs, passwords, or credit card numbers, or communication content like emails.
• Malicious third parties may gain unauthorized access to personal or company networks, leading to:
  • Theft of personal information or confidential data (information leakage).
  • Impersonation of specific individuals to communicate and spread false information (impersonation).
  • Modification and transmission of intercepted communication content (tampering).
  • Distribution of computer viruses to destroy data or systems (destruction).

Wireless LAN cards and access points are equipped with security mechanisms to address these issues. By configuring the security settings for your Wireless LAN product, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring.

It is recommended that you fully understand the potential problems of using the device without security settings and then configure the security settings at your own discretion and responsibility before using the product.

Usage Environment and Comfortable Use

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 weak compared to devices like mobile phones that are used in direct contact with the head.

Wireless LAN cards and Bluetooth devices operate in accordance with safety standards and guidelines for radio frequencies. Lenovo believes that consumers can safely use the built-in wireless cards. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of scientists and the results of deliberations by panels of scientists who frequently review and investigate extensive research literature.

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

• Using the built-in wireless card during airplane flights, in hospitals, at gas stations, in potentially explosive areas (e.g., with electric ignition devices), near medical implants, or near medical electronic devices such as pacemakers.
• Situations where interference with other devices or functions is recognized or confirmed.

If you are unsure whether the use of wireless devices is permitted in specific locations (e.g., airports or hospitals), please inquire before turning on your IdeaTab, or before using the wireless LAN card or Bluetooth device.
