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.

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.

    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 120 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 121 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.

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.

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.

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 125 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.
