Class II Permissive Change: Enables portable use when integrated into the Lenovo Notebook Computer IdeaPad Slim 5 15Q8Y11. The highest reported SAR for the body and simultaneous transmission use conditions are 0.49 W/kg and 1.34 W/kg, respectively.

CIIPC for this application. This change establishes portable category SAR conditions. The test separation distance is 8mm. The PIFA antenna Brand: HONGBO / Model: 260-25094 & 260-25083 highest reported Body and Simultaneous SAR values are 0.77 W/kg and 1.55 W/kg, respectively. The Monopole antenna Brand: HONGBO / Model: 260-25084 highest reported Body and Simultaneous SAR values are 0.75 W/kg and 1.55 W/kg, respectively.

The test separation distance is 15mm. The PIFA antenna Brand: HONGBO / Model: 260-25094 & 260-25083 highest reported Body and Simultaneous SAR values are 0.76 W/kg and 1.36 W/kg, respectively. The Monopole antenna Brand: HONGBO / Model: 260-25084 highest reported Body and Simultaneous SAR values are 0.73 W/kg and 1.52 W/kg, respectively.

Class II Permissive Change to adding U-NII-4 and U-NII -3 & -4 span channels through software enable.

Single Modular Approval. U-NII-1 through U-NII-3 Power listed is the maximum combined conducted output power, U-NII-4 and U-NII -3 & -4 span channels Power listed is the EIRP. Co-transmission of this module with other transmitters requires a separate evaluation according to FCC multi-transmitter procedures. The host integrator must follow the integration instructions provided by the module manufacturer and ensure that the composite-system end product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules and to KDB Publication 996369.

The module antenna(s) must be installed to meet the RF exposure compliance separation distance of 20 cm and any additional testing and authorization process as required. The module grantee is responsible for providing the documentation to the system integrator on restrictions of use, for continuing compliance of the module. The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB 996369. Approval is limited to OEM installation only. This grant is valid only when the device is sold to OEM integrators and the OEM integrators are instructed to ensure that the end user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device. Only those antenna(s) tested with the device or similar antenna(s) with equal or lesser gain may be used with this transmitter. This device has 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 160 MHz bandwidth modes.

CC: This device is certified pursuant to two different Part 15 rules sections.
EP: Output power is Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP)
MO: This Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) device was evaluated for multiple transmitted signals as indicated in the filing.
ND: This UNII device complies with the Transmit Power Control (TPC) and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements in Section 15.407(h).
