What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protectio\
n Agency, and 
other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless d\
evices in the 
United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to t\
he 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 A\
bsorption Rate, 
or “SAR”. SAR...

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-fr\
ee kits can be

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 p\
ortable 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. Thi\
s includes 
the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or\
 other wireless 
devices)....

TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handhe\
ld devices.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter a\
nd 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 guide\
lines are 
consistent with the...

Tips on Efficient Operation
For your device to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the tablet is in use. Contact wit\
h the 
antenna affects call quality and may cause the tablet to operate at a hi\
gher 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 you\
r wireless 
device.
