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 A3LSMT3777.
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 user¡¯s 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 person¡¯s 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 FCC¡¯s 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 FDA’s 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
