Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless TABLET 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. These FCC
exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the
National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile TABLETs employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless TABLETs to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the TABLET transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the TABLET while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the TABLET is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model TABLET is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model TABLET are performed in positions and locations as
required by the FCC.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
