Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless tablet PC 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 t h e
U.S. Government as well as the RTT&E directive. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
■ American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
■ National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986
■ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
■ Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
■ European Union RTT&E Directive for SAR
The exposure standard for wireless mobile tablet PCs employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The SAR limit set by the RTT&E is 2.0W/kg.
Note: In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue. In Europe the SAR
limit for mobile table PCs used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
10 grams of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations.
