Health and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information (SAR) Your wireless portable device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.
Consumer Information on Wireless Portable devices The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless portable devices.
possible information on possible effects of wireless portable device use on human health. FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level.
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
What about children using wireless portable devices? The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless portable devices, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless portable devices. Reducing the time of wireless portable device use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless portable device EMI. FDA has tested wireless portable devices and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you. 4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. 5. Do not take notes or look up portable device numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely. 6.
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless portable device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: should always keep the portable device more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the portable device is switched on.
wireless and landline networks as well as user programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless portable device for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example).
