Section 1: Health and Safety Information

This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using your tablet. The terms “tablet”,
“device”, or “mobile device” are used in this section to refer to your device.

before using your mobile device.

This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi™ mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The FCC requires that
devices operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used indoors, not outside, in order to avoid
interference with Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). Therefore, this device is restricted from being used
outdoors when operating in frequencies between 5.15-5.25 GHz.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Although your device is not a cell phone, it can operate on the same network as cell phones and can
use the same Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate with the network as a cell phone.
Therefore, although the following information refers specifically to RF exposure from wireless phones,
it may apply similarly to your device when it is being used on a cell phone network.

Read this information

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published information for consumers relating to
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the following
information:

Do cell phones pose a health hazard?

Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause cancer or other serious health
hazards. The weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problems.

Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over the past 15 years, scientists have
conducted hundreds of studies looking at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy emitted
by cell phones. While some researchers have reported biological changes associated with RF energy,
these studies have failed to be replicated. The majority of studies published have failed to show an
association between exposure to radio frequency from a cell phone and health problems.

The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the microwave frequency range. They also
emit RF at substantially reduced time intervals when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects.

Health and Safety Information 3

The biological effects of radio frequency energy should not be confused with the effects from other
types of electromagnetic energy.

Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma rays, can ionize
biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are stripped away from their normal
locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the
genetic material.

The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, including both radio waves and
microwaves, are not great enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is
a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared
radiation (heat), and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.

While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can increase body temperatures and cause
tissue damage. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF
heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.

4

Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between RF and certain health problems?

The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, attempts to replicate and confirm
the few studies that have shown a connection have failed.

The scientific community at large therefore believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not
show an association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientific community has supported additional research to address gaps in
knowledge. Some of these studies are described below.

Interphone Study

Interphone is a large international study designed to determine whether cell phones increase the risk
of head and neck cancer. A report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010)
compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma)
and a similar number of healthy controls.

Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most people
had no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell phones. For people with the heaviest use of cell
phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a

Health and Safety Information 5

slight increase in brain cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and errors prevented any
conclusions being drawn from this data. Additional information about Interphone can be found at:
www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf.

Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not answer all questions about cell phone
safety. Additional research is being conducted around the world, and the FDA continues to monitor
developments in this field.

International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)

The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large group of people to
determine if there are any health issues linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy from
cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe
for 20 to 30 years. Additional information about the COSMOS study can be found at:
www.ukcosmos.org/index.html

Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in Childhood and
Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)

MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship between exposure to radio
frequency energy from communication technologies including cell phones and brain cancer in young
people. This is an international multi-center study involving 14 European and non-European countries.
Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at:
www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/view.php?ID=39.

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer
Institute

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United States to detect any
change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates
should go up, because heavy cell phone use has been common for quite some time in the U.S.
Between 1987 and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase.

Cell Phone Industry Actions

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the cell
phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:

•

Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal emitted by cell phones;

•

Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and

•

Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone use and human health
concerns.

The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards continue to adequately protect the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other Accessories

Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) from cell phones - and at this point
we do not know that there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your RF exposure.

•

Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;

•

Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head and the cell phone.

Hands-Free Kits

Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and various types of body-worn
accessories such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF energy
absorption from cell phones.

Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone is held away from the head in the
user's hand or in approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S. are required to
meet RF exposure compliance requirements when used against the head and against the body.

Health and Safety Information 9

Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones, there is no reason
to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for convenience and comfort.
They are also required by law in many states if you want to use your phone while driving.

Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from RF Radiation

Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones, there is no reason
to believe that accessories which claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others
involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these
products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may
interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.

Children and Cell Phones

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF exposure,
including children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to reduce RF exposure apply to children
and teenagers as well.

10

•

Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;

•

Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the head and the cell phone.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged
from using cell phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report from the United Kingdom made such a
recommendation in December 2000. In this report, a group of independent experts noted that no
evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation
to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence
that any health hazard exists.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information

Your wireless mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.

These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations: the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.

The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless
devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).

The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.

Health and Safety Information 13

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the mobile
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while
operating can be well below the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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
of the mobile device.

Before a new model mobile device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model mobile
device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. near the body) as required by the FCC.

For typical operations, this mobile device has been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has

granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
