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 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 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.
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 .
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 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.
