For Your Safety
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.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the
Radio Frequency energy coming from
tablets?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposure from tablets and other wireless
handsets with the participation and leadership
of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,
"Recommended Practice for Determining the
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications
Devices: Experimental Techniques", sets forth the
first consistent test methodology for measuring
the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads
and bodies of tablet users. The test method uses
a tissue-simulating model of the human head
and body. Standardized SAR test methodology
is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on
the same tablet. SAR is the measurement of the
amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by
the whole body or a small part of the body. It is
measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter.

This measurement is used to determine whether a
tablet complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to Radio Frequency energy from
my tablet?
If there is a risk from these products — and at this
point we do not know that there is — it is probably
very small. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few
simple steps to minimize your exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor
in how much exposure a person receives, reducing
the amount of time spent using a tablet will reduce
RF exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations using a wireless device every day,
you could place more distance between your body
and the source of the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance. For example,
you could use a headset and carry the tablet away
from your body or use a wireless device connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data
does not demonstrate that 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
tablet use.
