Page 110 Safety Do not use the tablet with wet hands. Moisture on your hands may cause an electric shock to you or damage the tablet. Do not expose your device to any liquids such as sunscreen lotion (applied to your hands or skin that comes into contact with the tablet) because it may cause your tablet to malfunction or damage it.
Page 111 Do not use the tablet if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an LG Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.
Page 112 Safety Part 15.19 statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Page 113 Safety FCC RF Exposure Information WARNING! Read this information before operating the device. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.
Page 114 Safety community at large … believes that the weight of scientiﬁc evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from the devices and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientiﬁc community does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments in this ﬁeld.
Page 115 Safety certiﬁed to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and next to the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
Page 116 Safety Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children? The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientiﬁc evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all”.

Safety Consumer Information on SAR (Speciﬁc Absorption Rate) This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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.
Page 119: Caution
Safety (Body measurements differ among phone and tablet models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.

You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device: Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately. When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.

For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

Safety Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your tablet OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmosphere Turn your tablet OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Page 125 Safety when in idle 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. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such ﬁndings have not been conﬁrmed by additional research.
Page 126 Safety Occupational Safety and Health Administration National Telecommunications and Information Administration The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well. The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless tablets with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All tablets that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure.
Page 127 Safety however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.
Page 128 Safety 6. What is the FDA doing to ﬁnd out more about the possible health effects of wireless tablet RF? The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
Page 129 Safety energy from the wireless tablet and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless tablets must report the RF exposure level for each model of tablet to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www. fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identiﬁcation number on your tablet so you can ﬁnd your tablet’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
Page 130 Safety exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless tablet away from your body or use a wireless device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientiﬁc data does not demonstrate that wireless tablets are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless tablet use.
