FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States,
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept 0inch (0 cm)
from the body.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the
antenna) could impair call quality, damage the device, void your warranty and/or violate
FCC regulations.
Don’t use the device with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could cause a
minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions

Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio
frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresses commonly
asked questions about the health effects of wireless devices.

Are wireless devices safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency (“RF”) energy
has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications Commission
(“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website

For Your Safety

88

publication on health issues related to device usage where it states, The scientific
community at large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show
an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from the devices and adverse
health outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend conducting additional
research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted around the
world and FDA continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the
joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell
Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free at [phone] or (888)
INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC
issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that
proves that wireless device usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems,
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss”.
This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at
[phone] or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and
other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices in the
United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits
established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate,
or “SAR”. SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for
SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest power level in all tested
frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless
device not exceed 1.6watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value
of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This
is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as
proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the device to the body while in use, and the

For Your Safety

use of hands-free devices. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for each model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID
ZNFV940N.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://
www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins or visit the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association website at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/
index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your device.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize
your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You can place more
distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that “hands-free kits can be
used with wireless devices for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the
absorption of RF energy in the head because the device, which is the source of the
RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the device is
mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless devices marketed in the U.S. are required
to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head
or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety
limit”. Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a device with an
antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless
device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your device.

For Your Safety

90

Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a danger to
users of wireless communication devices, including children”. The FDA/FCC website
further states that “some groups sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless device at all”. For example,
the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation
in December 2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no
evidence exists that using a device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s]
recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is
available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton,
Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile
device and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/
radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure
may choose to restrict their children’s wireless device use.

Where can I get further information about RF emissions?

Consumer Information on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

This model device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to
reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.

For Your Safety

Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g.,at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

guide, is 0.53W/kg. (body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
ZNFV940N. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.
org/.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile device used by the public
is 1.6watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.

Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio
devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings
for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes
the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the
nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should
follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:

•

Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you
can hear adequately.

•

When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.

•

Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen
to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to
block out background environmental noise.

•

Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required
before your hearing could be affected.

•

Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock
concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might
cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

•

Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in
your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after
listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld devices.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the device and may violate FCC
regulations.

For Your Safety

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your device to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the tablet is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the tablet to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
device.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation
of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:

•

Should ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker
when the device is turned ON;

•

Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;

•

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;

•

Should turn the tablet OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless device may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service
line to discuss alternatives).

For Your Safety

98

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. Switch OFF your tablet
before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting
area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
