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.

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 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 (888) 225­5322 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

11

For Your Safety

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 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 ZNFV500.

12

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.

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.

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.

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 highest SAR value for this device when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.02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

15

For Your Safety

ZNFV500. 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® or other wireless
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 noise­induced hearing loss and other potential hearing
problems varies. The amount of sound produced

16

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)

17

For Your Safety

* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non­Ionizing 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.

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.

18

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.
