This section outlines the safety precautions

associated with using your phone. The

terms “mobile device” or “cell phone” are

used in this section to refer to your phone.

Read this information before using your

mobile device.

This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi™

mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The FCC

requires that devices operating within

5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used indoors, not

outside, in order to avoid interference with

Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). Therefore,

this device is restricted from being used

outdoors when operating in frequencies

between 5.15-5.25 GHz.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

Signals

Although your device is not a cell phone,

it can operate on the same network as

cell phones and can use the same Radio

Frequency (RF) signals to communicate

with the network as a cell phone. Therefore,

although the following information refers

speciically to RF exposure from wireless

phones, it may apply similarly to your

device when it is being used on a cell phone

network.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) has published information for

consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF)

exposure from wireless phones.

The FDA publication includes the

following information:

Do cell phones pose a health hazard?

Many people are concerned that cell phone

radiation will cause cancer or other serious

health hazards. The weight of scientiic

evidence has not linked cell phones with

any health problems.

Cell phones emit low levels of Radio

Frequency (RF) energy. Over the past 15

years, scientists have conducted hundreds

of studies looking at the biological effects

of the radio frequency energy emitted by

cell phones. While some researchers have

reported biological changes associated

with RF energy, these studies have

failed to be replicated. The majority of

studies published have failed to show an

association between exposure to radio

8 Important Health and Safety Information Important Health and Safety Information 9

frequency from a cell phone and

health problems.

The low levels of RF cell phones emit while

in use are in the microwave frequency

range. They also emit RF at substantially

reduced time intervals 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.

The biological effects of radio frequency

energy should not be confused

with the effects from other types of

electromagnetic energy.

Very high levels of electromagnetic energy,

such as is found in X-rays and gamma rays,

can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a

process where electrons are stripped away

from their normal locations in atoms and

molecules. It can permanently damage

biological tissues including DNA, the

genetic material.

The energy levels associated with radio

frequency energy, including both radio

waves and microwaves, are not great

enough to cause ionization of atoms and

molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type

of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of

non-ionizing radiation include visible light,

infrared radiation (heat), and other forms

of electromagnetic radiation with relatively

low frequencies.

While RF energy does not ionize particles,

large amounts can increase body

temperatures and cause tissue damage.

Two areas of the body, the eyes and the

testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF

heating because there is relatively little

blood low in them to carry away

excess heat.

8 Important Health and Safety Information Important Health and Safety Information 9

Research Results to Date: Is there a

connection between RF and certain

health problems?

The results of most studies conducted

to date say no. In addition, attempts to

replicate and conirm the few studies that

have shown a connection have failed.

The scientiic community at large therefore

believes that the weight of scientiic

evidence does not show an association

between exposure to Radio Frequency

(RF) from cell phones and adverse health

outcomes. Still the scientiic community

has supported additional research to

address gaps in knowledge. Some of these

studies are described below.

Interphone Study

Interphone is a large international study

designed to determine whether cell

phones increase the risk of head and

neck cancer. A report published in the

International Journal of Epidemiology

(June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for

more than 5,000 people with brain tumors

(glioma and meningioma) and a similar

number of healthy controls.

Results of this study did NOT show that cell

phones caused brain cancer. In this study,

most people had no increased risk of brain

cancer from using cell phones. For people

with the heaviest use of cell phones (an

average of more than ½ hour per day, every

day, for over 10 years) the study suggested

a slight increase in brain cancer. However,

the authors determined that biases

and errors prevented any conclusions

being drawn from this data. Additional

at www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/

pdfs/pr200_E.pdf.

Interphone is the largest cell phone study

to date, but it did not answer all questions

about cell phone safety. Additional

research is being conducted around the

world, and the FDA continues to monitor

developments in this ield.

International Cohort Study on Mobile

Phone Users (COSMOS)

The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-

term health monitoring of a large group of

people to determine if there are any health

issues linked to long-term exposure to radio

frequency energy from cell phone use. The

COSMOS study will follow approximately

300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe

for 20 to 30 years. Additional information

about the COSMOS study can be found at:

www.ukcosmos.org/index.html.

Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to

Radio Frequency Fields in Childhood

and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)

MOBI-KIDS is an international study

investigating the relationship between

exposure to radio frequency energy from

communication technologies including

cell phones and brain cancer in young

people. This is an international multi-center

study involving 14 European and non-

European countries. Additional

information about MOBI-KIDS can be found
