Health and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information (SAR) Your wireless tablet is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile tablets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless tablets to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the tablet transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the tablet while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the tablet is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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 new model tablet is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model tablet are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. The highest SAR values for this model tablet as reported to the FCC are Wi-Fi U-NII Body : 1.061 W/Kg. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this and other model tablets can be viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the tablet FCC ID number A3LSMT555. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular tablet, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular tablet. Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar. Consumer Information on Wireless Tablets The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless tablets. The FDA publication includes the following information:
What kinds of tablets are the subject of this update?
The term wireless tablet refers here to hand-held wireless tablets with built-in antennas, often called cell, mobile, or PCS tablets. These types of wireless tablets can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the tablet and the users head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the tablet is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a persons RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called cordless tablets, which have a base unit connected to the teletablet wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCCs compliance limits. Do wireless tablets pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless tablets. There is no proof, however, that wireless tablets are absolutely safe. Wireless tablets emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results. What is FDAs role concerning the safety of wireless tablets?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless tablets before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless tablets are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless tablets to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the tablets so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless tablet industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless tablets;
Design wireless 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 wireless tablets with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless tablet use on human health. FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Environmental Protection Agency Federal Communications Commission Occupational Safety and Health Administration National Telecommunications and Information Administration The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless tablets with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All tablets that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless tablets. FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless tablet networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless tablets themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless tablets. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless tablets have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless tablets, so we dont know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless tablets and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless tablets RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of tablet use in these studies was around three years. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless tablets poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless 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 reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless tablets. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the tablet is held, or which model of tablet is used. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless tablet RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency energy
(RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization international Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues. FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless tablet safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless tablet users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from my wireless tablet?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless tablet will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless tablet every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless tablet away from your body or use a wireless tablet connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless tablets are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless tablet use. What about children using wireless tablets?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless tablets, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless tablets. Reducing the time of wireless tablet use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless tablets at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless tablet causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless tablet use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. Do hands-free kits for wireless tablets reduce risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless tablets, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless tablets for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the tablet, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the tablet 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 tablets 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. Do wireless tablet accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless tablets, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special tablet cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the tablet. Studies have shown that these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike hand-free kits, these so-called shields may interfere with proper operation of the tablet. The tablet may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission
(FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless tablet users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim. What about wireless tablet interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless tablets can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless teletablets. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless tablet EMI. FDA has tested wireless tablets and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless tablets so that no interference occurs when a person uses a compatible tablet and a compatible hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless tablets for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless tablets, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless tablet behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1 Get to know your wireless tablet and its features, such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road. 2 When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless tablet with one of the many hands free accessories available today. 3 Position your wireless tablet within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless tablet without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you. 4 Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. 5 Do not take notes or look up tablet numbers while driving. Jotting down a to do list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely. 6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue. 7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road. 8 Use your wireless tablet to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless tablet!
9 Use your wireless tablet to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you. 10Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency number. The wireless industry reminds you to use your tablet safely when driving. For more information, please call 1-888-901-SAFE, or visit our web-site www.wow-

When connecting the tablet or any accessory to another device, read its users guide for it for the equipment and the safety of personnel, detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating position
(held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder). Using Your Tablet Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless tablet. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless tablet and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your tablet immediately. Persons with pacemakers:
should always keep the tablet more than 15 cm recommendations are consistent with independent the
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the tablet is switched on. should not carry the tablet in a breast pocket. should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your tablet off immediately. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless tablets may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical devices, 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. Switch your tablet off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using 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. 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 Switch your tablet off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so. Statics Devices When camera is in operation, Your tablet should not be near devices that produces static field. Potentially Explosive Environments Switch your tablet 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. Users are advised to switch the tablet off while at a refueling point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include the areas below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Emergency Calls This tablet, like any wireless tablet, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless tablet for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example). Remember, to make or receive any calls the tablet must be switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless tablet networks or when certain network services and/or tablet features are in use. Check with local service providers. To make an emergency call:
1 If the tablet is not on, switch it on. 2 Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
]. 3 Press [
If certain features are in use (call barring, for example), you may first need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider. When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your tablet may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until given permission to do so. Restricting Childrens access to your Tablet Your tablet is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the tablet or make calls that increase your tablet bill.

Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the tablet warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the tablet. Although your tablet is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it. Other Important Safety Information Only qualified personnel should service the tablet or install the tablet in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the device. Check regularly that all wireless tablet equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the tablet, its parts or accessories. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force.Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result. Switch off your tablet before boarding an aircraft. It is dangerous and illegal to use wireless tablets in an aircraft because they can interfere with the operation of the aircraft. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of teletablet services to the offender, or legal action, or both. Product Performance Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your tablet informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If youre inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception. Understanding the Power Save Feature If your tablet is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your tablet is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your tablet returns to standby mode. Maintaining Your Tablets Peak Performance For the best care of your tablet, only authorized personnel should service your tablet and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty. There are several simple guidelines to operating your tablet properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. Hold the tablet with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your shoulder. Try not to hold, bend or twist the tablets antenna. Dont use the tablet if the antenna is damaged. Speak directly into the tablets receiver. Avoid exposing your tablet and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your tablet does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service. Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones Many services and features are network dependent and may require additional subscription and/or usage charges. Not all features are available for purchase or use in all areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be available at an additional cost. Other conditions and restrictions may apply. See your service provider for additional information. Battery Standby and Talk Time Standby and talk times will vary depending on tablet usage patterns and conditions. Battery power consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage patterns. Battery Precautions Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. If you use the tablet near the networks base station, it uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator. Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with Samsung-
