    What does “SAR” mean?
    In	1996, 	the 	FCC, 	working 	with 	the 	FDA, 	the 	U.S. 	Environmental 	Protection 	Agency, 	and	
    other 	agencies, 	established 	RF 	exposure 	safety 	guidelines 	for 	wireless 	devices 	in 	the	
    United 	States. 	Before 	a 	wireless 	device 	model 	is 	available 	for 	sale 	to 	the 	public, 	it 	must	
    be 	tested 	by 	the 	manufacturer 	and 	certified 	to 	the 	FCC 	that 	it 	does 	not 	exceed 	limits	
    established 	by 	the 	FCC. 	One 	of 	these 	limits 	is 	expressed 	as 	a 	Specific 	Absorption 	Rate, 	
    or 	“SAR”. 	SAR 	is 	a 	measure 	of 	the 	rate 	of 	absorption 	of 	RF 	energy 	in 	the 	body. 	Tests 	for	
    SAR 	are 	conducted 	with 	the 	device 	transmitting 	at 	its 	highest 	power 	level 	in 	all 	tested	
    frequency 	bands. 	Since 	1996, 	the 	FCC 	has 	required 	that 	the 	SAR 	of 	handheld 	wireless	
    device 	not 	exceed 	1.6 	watts 	per 	kilogram, 	averaged 	over 	one 	gram 	of 	tissue. 	
    Although 	the 	SAR 	is 	determined 	at 	the 	highest 	power 	level, 	the 	actual 	SAR 	value	
    of 	a 	wireless 	device 	while 	operating 	can 	be 	less 	than 	the 	reported 	SAR 	value. 	This	
    is 	because 	the 	SAR 	value 	may 	vary 	from 	call 	to 	call, 	depending 	on 	factors 	such 	as	
    proximity 	to 	a 	cell 	site, 	the 	proximity 	of 	the 	device 	to 	the 	body 	while 	in 	use, 	and 	the	
    use 	of 	hands-free 	devices. 	Before 	a 	device 	model 	is 	available 	for 	sale 	to 	the 	public, 	it	
    must 	be 	tested 	and 	certified 	to 	the 	FCC 	that 	it 	does 	not 	exceed 	the 	limit 	established	
    by 	the 	government-adopted 	requirement 	for 	safe 	exposure. 	The 	tests 	are 	performed 	in	
    positions 	and 	locations 	(e.g., 	at 	the 	ear 	and 	worn 	on 	the 	body) 	as 	required 	by 	the 	FCC	
    for 	each 	model.
    The 	FCC 	has 	granted 	an 	Equipment 	Authorization 	for 	this 	model 	device 	with 	all 	reported	
    SAR 	levels 	evaluated 	as 	in 	compliance 	with 	the 	FCC 	RF 	emission 	guidelines. 	SAR	
    information 	on 	this 	model 	device 	is 	on 	file 	with 	the 	FCC 	and 	can 	be 	found 	under 	the	
    Display 	Grant 	section 	of 	http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ 	after 	searching 	on 	FCC 	ID	
    ZNFV496.
    For 	more 	information 	about 	SARs, 	see 	the 	FCC’s 	OET 	Bulletins 	56 	and 	65 	at 	http://
    www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins 	or 	visit 	the 	Cellular	
    Telecommunications 	Industry 	Association 	website 	at 	http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/
    index.cfm/AID/10371. 	You 	may 	also 	wish 	to 	contact 	the 	manufacturer 	of 	your 	device.

    Can I minimize my RF exposure? 
    If	you 	are 	concerned 	about 	RF, 	there 	are 	several 	simple 	steps 	you 	can 	take 	to 	minimize	
    your 	RF 	exposure. 	You 	can, 	of 	course, 	reduce 	your 	talk 	time. 	You 	can 	place 	more	
    distance 	between 	your 	body 	and 	the 	source 	of 	the 	RF, 	as 	the 	exposure 	level 	drops 	off	
    dramatically 	with 	distance. 	The 	FDA/FCC 	website 	states 	that 	“hands-free 	kits 	can 	be	
    used 	with 	wireless 	devices 	for 	convenience 	and 	comfort. 	These 	systems 	reduce 	the	
    absorption 	of 	RF 	energy 	in 	the 	head 	because 	the 	device, 	which 	is 	the 	source 	of 	the	
    RF 	emissions, 	will 	not 	be 	placed 	against 	the 	head. 	On 	the 	other 	hand, 	if 	the 	device 	is	
    mounted 	against 	the 	waist 	or 	other 	part 	of 	the 	body 	during 	use, 	then 	that 	part 	of 	the	
    body 	will 	absorb 	more 	RF 	energy. 	Wireless 	devices 	marketed 	in 	the 	U.S. 	are 	required	
    to 	meet 	safety 	requirements 	regardless 	of 	whether 	they 	are 	used 	against 	the 	head	
    or 	against 	the 	body. 	Either 	configuration 	should 	result 	in 	compliance 	with 	the 	safety	
    limit”. 	Also, 	if 	you 	use 	your 	wireless 	device 	while 	in 	a 	car, 	you 	can 	use 	a 	device 	with 	an	
    antenna 	on 	the 	outside 	of 	the 	vehicle. 	You 	should 	also 	read 	and 	follow 	your 	wireless	
    device 	manufacturer’s 	instructions 	for 	the 	safe 	operation 	of 	your 	device. 	
    Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?
    The	FDA/FCC 	website 	states 	that 	“the 	scientific 	evidence 	does 	not 	show 	a 	danger 	to	
    users 	of 	wireless 	communication 	devices, 	including 	children”. 	The 	FDA/FCC 	website	
    further 	states 	that 	“some 	groups 	sponsored 	by 	other 	national 	governments 	have	
    advised 	that 	children 	be 	discouraged 	from 	using 	wireless 	device 	at 	all”. 	For 	example, 	
    the 	Stewart 	Report 	from 	the 	United 	Kingdom 	[“UK”] 	made 	such 	a 	recommendation	
    in 	December 	2000. 	In 	this 	report 	a 	group 	of 	independent 	experts 	noted 	that 	no	
    evidence 	exists 	that 	using 	a 	device 	causes 	brain 	tumors 	or 	other 	ill 	effects. 	[The 	UK’s]	
    recommendation 	to 	limit 	device 	use 	by 	children 	was 	strictly 	precautionary; 	it 	was 	not	
    based 	on 	scientific 	evidence 	that 	any 	health 	hazard 	exists. 	A 	copy 	of 	the 	UK’s 	leaflet 	is	
    available 	at 	http://www.dh.gov.uk 	(search 	“mobile”), 	or 	you 	can 	write 	to: 	NRPB, 	Chilton, 	
    Didcot, 	Oxon 	OX11 	ORQ, 	United 	Kingdom. 	Copies 	of 	the 	UK’s 	annual 	reports 	on 	mobile	
    device 	and 	RF 	are 	available 	online 	at 	www.iegmp.org.uk 	and 	http://www.hpa.org.uk/

    radiation/	(search 	“mobile”). 	Parents 	who 	wish 	to 	reduce 	their 	children’s 	RF 	exposure	
    may 	choose 	to 	restrict 	their 	children’s 	wireless 	device 	use.

    (Specific Absorption Rate)
    This 	model 	device 	meets 	the 	government's 	requirements 	for 	exposure 	to 	radio 	waves. 	
    Your 	wireless 	device 	is 	a 	radio 	transmitter 	and 	receiver. 	It 	is 	designed 	and 	manufactured	
    not 	to 	exceed 	the 	emission 	limits 	for 	exposure 	to 	Radio 	Frequency 	(RF) 	energy 	set 	by	
    the 	Federal 	Communications 	Commission 	of 	the 	U.S. 	Government. 	These 	limits 	are 	part	
    of 	comprehensive 	guidelines 	and 	establish 	permitted 	levels 	of 	RF 	energy 	for 	the 	general	
    population. 	The 	guidelines 	are 	based 	on 	standards 	that 	were 	developed 	by 	independent	
    scientific 	organizations 	through 	periodic 	and 	thorough 	evaluation 	of 	scientific 	studies. 	  
    						
    							94For Your Safety
    The	standards 	include 	a 	substantial 	safety 	margin 	designed 	to 	assure 	the 	safety 	of 	all	
    persons, 	regardless 	of 	age 	and 	health.
    The 	exposure 	standard 	for 	wireless 	mobile 	devices 	employs 	a 	unit 	of 	measurement	
    known 	as 	the 	Specific 	Absorption 	Rate, 	or 	SAR. 	The 	SAR 	limit 	set 	by 	the 	FCC 	is 	1.6 W/
    kg.
    Tests 	for 	SAR 	are 	conducted 	using 	standard 	operating 	positions 	specified 	by 	the 	FCC	
    with 	the 	device 	transmitting 	at 	its 	highest 	certified 	power 	level 	in 	all 	tested 	frequency	
    bands. 	Although 	SAR 	is 	determined 	at 	the 	highest 	certified 	power 	level, 	the 	actual 	SAR	
    level 	of 	the 	device 	while 	operating 	can 	be 	well 	below 	the 	maximum 	value. 	Because 	the	
    device 	is 	designed 	to 	operate 	at 	multiple 	power 	levels 	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 	device 	model 	is 	available 	for 	sale 	to 	the 	public, 	it 	must 	be 	tested 	and 	certified	
    to 	the 	FCC 	that 	it 	does 	not 	exceed 	the 	limit 	established 	by 	the 	government-adopted	
    requirement 	for 	safe 	exposure. 	The 	tests 	are 	performed 	in 	positions 	and 	locations 	(e.g., 	
    at 	the 	ear 	and 	worn 	on 	the 	body) 	as 	required 	by 	the 	FCC 	for 	each 	model.
    The 	highest 	SAR 	value 	for 	this 	device 	when 	worn 	on 	the 	body, 	as 	described 	in 	this 	user	
    guide, 	is 	0.83 W/kg. 	(body-worn 	measurements 	differ 	among 	device 	models, 	depending	
    upon 	available 	accessories 	and 	FCC 	requirements). 	While 	there 	may 	be 	differences	
    between 	SAR 	levels 	of 	various 	devices 	and 	at 	various 	positions, 	they 	all 	meet 	the	
    government 	requirement 	for 	safe 	exposure.
    The 	FCC 	has 	granted 	an 	Equipment 	Authorization 	for 	this 	model 	device 	with 	all

    							95For Your Safety
    is	1.6 watts/kg 	(W/kg) 	averaged 	over 	one 	gram 	of 	tissue. 	The 	standard 	incorporates 	a	
    substantial 	margin 	of 	safety 	to 	give 	additional 	protection 	for 	the 	public 	and 	to 	account	
    for 	any 	variations 	in 	measurements.
    Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss.
    Prolonged 	exposure 	to 	loud 	sounds 	(including 	music) 	is 	the 	most 	common 	cause 	of	
    preventable 	hearing 	loss. 	Some 	scientific 	research 	suggests 	that 	using 	portable 	audio	
    devices, 	such 	as 	portable 	music 	players 	and 	cellular 	telephones, 	at 	high 	volume 	settings	
    for 	long 	durations 	may 	lead 	to 	permanent 	noise-induced 	hearing 	loss. 	This 	includes	
    the 	use 	of 	headphones 	(including 	headsets, 	earbuds 	and 	Bluetooth
    ®	or 	other 	wireless	
    devices). 	Exposure 	to 	very 	loud 	sound 	has 	also 	been 	associated 	in 	some 	studies 	with	
    tinnitus 	(a 	ringing 	in 	the 	ear), 	hypersensitivity 	to 	sound 	and 	distorted 	hearing. 	Individual	
    susceptibility 	to 	noise-induced 	hearing 	loss 	and 	other 	potential 	hearing 	problems 	varies. 	
    The 	amount 	of 	sound 	produced 	by 	a 	portable 	audio 	device 	varies 	depending 	on 	the	
    nature 	of 	the 	sound, 	the 	device, 	the 	device 	settings 	and 	the 	headphones. 	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. 	
    •	Do 	not 	turn 	the 	volume 	up 	to 	block 	out 	noisy 	surroundings. 	If 	you 	choose 	to 	listen	
    to 	your 	portable 	device 	in 	a 	noisy 	environment, 	use 	noise-cancelling 	headphones 	to	
    block 	out 	background 	environmental 	noise. 	
    •	Limit	the 	amount 	of 	time 	you 	listen. 	As 	the 	volume 	increases, 	less 	time 	is 	required	
    before 	your 	hearing 	could 	be 	affected. 	
    •	Avoid	using 	headphones 	after 	exposure 	to 	extremely 	loud 	noises, 	such 	as 	rock	
    concerts, 	that 	might 	cause 	temporary 	hearing 	loss. 	Temporary 	hearing 	loss 	might	  
    						
    							96For Your Safety
    cause	unsafe 	volumes 	to 	sound 	normal. 	
    •	Do	not 	listen 	at 	any 	volume 	that 	causes 	you 	discomfort. 	If 	you 	experience 	ringing 	in	
    your 	ears, 	hear 	muffled 	speech 	or 	experience 	any 	temporary 	hearing 	difficulty 	after	
    listening 	to 	your 	portable 	audio 	device, 	discontinue 	use 	and 	consult 	your 	doctor.

    TIA Safety Information
    The	following 	is 	the 	complete 	TIA 	Safety 	Information 	for 	wireless 	handheld 	devices.
    Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
    Your 	wireless 	handheld 	portable 	device 	is 	a 	low 	power 	radio 	transmitter 	and 	receiver. 	
    When 	ON, 	it 	receives 	and 	sends 	out 	Radio 	Frequency 	(RF) 	signals.
    In 	August, 	1996, 	the 	Federal 	Communications 	Commissions 	(FCC) 	adopted 	RF	
    exposure 	guidelines 	with 	safety 	levels 	for 	handheld 	wireless 	devices. 	Those 	guidelines	
    are 	consistent 	with 	the 	safety 	standards 	previously 	set 	by 	both 	U.S. 	and 	international	
    standards 	bodies:
    	 ANSI 	C95.1 	(1992) 	*
    	 NCRP 	Report 	86 	(1986)
    	 ICNIRP 	(1996)
    * 	American 	National 	Standards 	Institute; 	National 	Council 	on 	Radiation 	Protection 	and	
    Measurements; 	International 	Commission 	on 	Non-Ionizing 	Radiation 	Protection	
    Those 	standards 	were 	based 	on 	comprehensive 	and 	periodic 	evaluations 	of 	the 	relevant	
    scientific 	literature. 	For 	example, 	over 	120 	scientists, 	engineers, 	and 	physicians 	from	
    universities, 	government 	health 	agencies, 	and 	industry 	reviewed 	the 	available 	body 	of	
    research 	to 	develop 	the 	ANSI 	Standard 	(C95.1).
    The 	design 	of 	your 	device 	complies 	with 	the 	FCC 	guidelines 	(and 	those 	standards).
    Antenna Care
    Use 	only 	the 	supplied 	or 	an 	approved 	replacement 	antenna. 	Unauthorized 	antennas, 	
    modifications, 	or 	attachments 	could 	damage 	the 	device 	and 	may 	violate 	FCC	
    regulations.
    Tips on Efficient Operation
    For 	your 	device 	to 	operate 	most 	efficiently:
    Don’t 	touch 	the 	antenna 	unnecessarily 	when 	the 	tablet 	is 	in 	use. 	Contact 	with 	the	  
    						
    							98For Your Safety
    antenna	affects 	call 	quality 	and 	may 	cause 	the 	tablet 	to 	operate 	at 	a 	higher 	power 	level	
    than 	otherwise 	needed.
    Electronic Devices
    Most 	modern 	electronic 	equipment 	is 	shielded 	from 	RF 	signals. 	However, 	certain	
    electronic 	equipment 	may 	not 	be 	shielded 	against 	the 	RF 	signals 	from 	your 	wireless	
    device.
    Pacemakers
    The 	Health 	Industry 	Manufacturers 	Association 	recommends 	that 	a 	minimum 	separation	
    of 	six 	(6) 	inches 	be 	maintained 	between 	a 	handheld 	wireless 	device 	and 	a 	pacemaker	
    to 	avoid 	potential 	interference 	with 	the 	pacemaker. 	These 	recommendations 	are	
    consistent 	with 	the 	independent 	research 	by 	and 	recommendations 	of 	Wireless	
    Technology 	Research.
    Persons 	with 	pacemakers:

    Other Medical Devices
    If	you 	use 	any 	other 	personal 	medical 	device, 	consult 	the 	manufacturer 	of 	your 	device	
    to 	determine 	if 	it 	is 	adequately 	shielded 	from 	external 	RF 	energy. 	Your 	physician 	may 	be	
    able 	to 	assist 	you 	in 	obtaining 	this 	information. 	
    Health Care Facilities
    Turn	your 	device 	OFF 	in 	health 	care 	facilities 	when 	any 	regulations 	posted 	in 	these	
    areas 	instruct 	you 	to 	do 	so. 	Hospitals 	or 	health 	care 	facilities 	may 	use 	equipment 	that	
    could 	be 	sensitive 	to 	external 	RF 	energy.
    Vehicles
    RF 	signals 	may 	affect 	improperly 	installed 	or 	inadequately 	shielded 	electronic 	systems	
    in 	motor 	vehicles. 	Check 	with 	the 	manufacturer 	or 	its 	representative 	regarding 	your	
    vehicle. 	You 	should 	also 	consult 	the 	manufacturer 	of 	any 	equipment 	that 	has 	been	
    added 	to 	your 	vehicle.
    Posted Facilities
    Turn 	your 	device 	OFF 	in 	any 	facility 	where 	posted 	notices 	so 	require.
    Aircraft
    FCC 	regulations 	prohibit 	using 	your 	device 	while 	in 	the 	air. 	Switch 	OFF 	your 	tablet	
    before 	boarding 	an 	aircraft.
    Blasting Areas
    To 	avoid 	interfering 	with 	blasting 	operations, 	turn 	your 	device 	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 	device 	OFF 	when 	in 	any 	area 	with 	a 	potentially 	explosive 	atmosphere 	and	
    obey 	all 	signs 	and 	instructions. 	Sparks 	in 	such 	areas 	could 	cause 	an 	explosion 	or 	fire	
    resulting 	in 	bodily 	injury 	or 	even 	death.
