Health and safety information
Certification Information (SAR)
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless Tablet 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 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 exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless tablet 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 tablet to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the tablet 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 tablet 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.
Before a new model tablet is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by
the FCC. Tests for each model tablet are performed in positions and locations
(e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this model tablet has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines the tablet a minimum of .0 cm from the body.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this and other model tablets can be
viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses the tablet FCC
ID number, A3LSCHI705. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery
pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular tablet
, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for
typical or maximum SAR for a particular tablet. Additional product specific SAR
