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 indep endent
scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mo bile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device was 1.14 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range
of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as
described in this user guide**.

As SAR is measured utilizing the device's hig hest 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, EN 62209-1,

17

IEC 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
This mobile tablet meets the government ’s requirements for exposure to

radio waves.
This tablet is designed and manufactured not to ex ceed the emission

limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Ra te, 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 with 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 device 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

18

reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the model device as reported to the FCC
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.15 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements.)

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

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file
with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: Q78-V71A.

19

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal
and the positions the handset a minimum of 0 cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 0 cm
from your body when the device is switched on.

FCC Regulations:

Body-worn Operation

Important safety information regarding radio frequency radi ation (RF)
exposure:

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure
exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

22

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields

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

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of mobil e devices. If
individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using
‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile devices away from the head and
body.

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/
