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 avai\

Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker when 
the device is turned ON;
 Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
 Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for \
interference;
 Should turn the tablet OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect\
 that 
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless device may interfere with some hearing aids. In th\

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...

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological 
Health Consumer Update on Mobile Tablets:
1.  Do tablets pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems\
 are associated 
with using tablets. 
There is no proof, however, that tablets are absolutely safe. Tablets emit low levels of Radio 
Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They al\
so emit very low 
levels of RF...

Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the ty\
pe emitted by 
tablets;
 Design tablets in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that \
is not 
necessary for device function; and
 Cooperate in providing users of tablets with the best possible informati\
on on possible 
effects of tablet use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies \
that have 
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to...

3.  What kinds of devices are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless device” refers here to handheld wireless device\
s with built-in antennas, 
often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” devices. These\
 types of wireless devices can expose 
the user to measurable Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the shor\
t distance between 
the device and the user’s head. 
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were develo\
ped with the 
advice of the FDA and other...

long-term exposures, since the average period of device use in these stu\
dies was around 
three years.
5.  What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from tablets poses\
 a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of peopl\
e actually using 
tablets would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal \
exposure studies 
could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be 
needed to provide...

The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal 
Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research \
on wireless 
device safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from expert\
s in 
government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted 
through contracts with independent investigators. The initial research w\
ill include both 
laboratory studies and studies of wireless...

8.  What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy coming from tablets?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is develop\
ing a technical standard 
for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure from tablets an\
d other wireless 
handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and eng\
ineers. The 
standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Spec\
ific Absorption 
Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to...

are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these p\
roducts, you can 
use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from \
tablet use.
10.  What about children using tablets?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of tablets, incl\
uding children and 
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to Radio Frequenc\
y (RF) energy, the 
measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using tab\
