For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices
and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Tablets:
1. Do tablets pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems
are associated with using tablets.
There is no proof, however, that tablets are absolutely safe. Tablets emit
low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels of RF 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. In some cases, other researchers have
had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons
for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of tablets?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as tablets before they can be sold, as it does with
new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take
action if tablets are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a level
that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the
manufacturers of tablets to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
replace, or recall the tablets so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data does not justify FDA regulatory
