RF Exposure

General Statement on RF Energy

Your mobile device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your
device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your device transmits.

16

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent
scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and heal th.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device was 0.85 W/kg. As SAR is measured utilizing
the device's highest transmitting power , the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses
the minimum power required to communicate with the network.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 62311, IEC 62209-2.

Body-worn Operation

Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF)

17

exposure:
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure

exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the
World Health Organization (W HO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. If
individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of wireless data
transmission

.
Further information on this subject can be obtained online from the WHO

fact sheet N°193 at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/

Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the mobile device in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

25

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15
cm be maintained between a mobile device and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the
mobile device on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it
in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and
the distance from the interference source, increasing the separ ation
between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if

26

operation of your mobile device may interfere with the operation of your
medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals,

airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the
aircraft, if your device offers a ‘flight mode’ this must be enabled prior to
boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,

27

some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile Tablets in their vehicles
unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.

Explosive Environments

Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs
to turn off wireless devices such as your Tablet or other radio equipment.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile Tablet or wireless device when in a blasting area
or in areas posted power off “two -way radios” or “electronic devices” to
avoid interfering with blasting operations.

28

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.

This device 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. Go vernment.

The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC wi th the 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 Tablet while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to the antenna, the
lower the power output.

29

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when
tested for body, as described in this user guide, is 0.938W/kg for CDMA
850 band.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
Tablets and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this 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: Q78 -V11A.

For body operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use the positions the device a minimum of 0 cm
from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compli ance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
