Safety
General Statement on RF Energy
The tablet is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on
it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The
transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically
reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used
at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power
output is very low. Under poor network conditions the tablet transmits at a
higher power, may get hot and have a shorter battery life.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
The tablet is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by the ICNIRP. The limits include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines measure the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
for mobile devices is 2W/Kg and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested was 1.49 W/Kg.
