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.
10. What about children using tablets?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of tablets,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above
would apply to children and teenagers using tablets. Reducing the time of
tablet use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source
will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all. For example,
the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
