LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT  
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN  
ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE  
DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS  
YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND  
JURY TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION TITLED  
“PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.  
Warranty Laws  
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer  
goods:  
Ţ
The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et  
seq],  
Ţ
The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C  
§§2101 et seq], and  
Ţ
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission  
Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703].  
A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that the  
product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair, or  
replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies include  
damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service contract or  
for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for  
some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not  
preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]  
1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:  
LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed subscriber unit  
and its enclosed accessories will be free from defects in material and  
workmanship, according to the following terms and conditions:  
(1) The limited warranty for the product extends for TWELVE (12)  
MONTHS beginning on the date of purchase of the product with  
valid proof of purchase, or absent valid proof of purchase, FIFTEEN  
(15) MONTHS from date of manufacture as determined by the unit's  
manufacture date code.  
2
(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the  
product and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent  
purchaser/end user.  
(3) This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the product  
during the warranty period as long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska,  
Hawaii, U.S. Territories and Canada.  
(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at  
the time of shipment and, therefore, shall not be covered under these  
limited warranty terms.  
(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide information to  
reasonably prove the date of purchase.  
(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the  
Customer Service Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of  
shipping the product back to the consumer after the completion of  
service under this limited warranty.  
2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:  
(1) Defects or damages resulting from use of the product in other than  
its normal and customary manner.  
(2) Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal conditions,  
improper storage, exposure to moisture or dampness, unauthorized  
modifications, unauthorized connections, unauthorized repair, misuse,  
neglect, abuse, accident, alteration, improper installation, or other acts  
which are not the fault of LG, including damage caused by shipping,  
blown fuses, spills of food or liquid.  
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in  
material or workmanship.  
(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by  
consumer of the alleged defect or malfunction of the product during  
the applicable limited warranty period.  
(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.  
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or  
implied either in fact or by operations of law, statutory or otherwise,  
including, but not limited to any implied warranty of marketability or  
fitness for a particular use.  
3
(7) Damage resulting from use of non LG approved accessories.  
(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are  
scratched or damaged due to normal customer use.  
(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.  
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.  
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).  
3. WHAT LG WILL DO:  
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase  
price of any unit that is covered under this limited warranty. LG may  
choose at its option to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned,  
refurbished or new units or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not  
re-install or back-up any data, applications or software that you have  
added to your device. It is therefore recommended that you back-up any  
such data or information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid the  
permanent loss of such information.  
4. STATE LAW RIGHTS:  
No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION  
OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY  
OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS  
WARRANTY HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF  
THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER  
DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE  
OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF  
ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED  
WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS  
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.  
Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or  
consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty  
lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This  
warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights  
which vary from state to state.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:  
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING  
IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL  
BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND  
NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION  
MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY  
TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.  
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG  
Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates,  
and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,  
predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to  
“dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any  
kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation,  
ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory)  
arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance  
of the product or this Limited Warranty.  
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. You and LG  
agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on  
an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute  
between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute  
involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically,  
without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall  
not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative  
5
action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in  
small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought  
on a class or representative basis.  
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either  
you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration  
will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and  
will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer  
Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated  
(referred to as the AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in  
this section. The AAA Rules are available online at  
www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for  
arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner  
described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written  
demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-  
Arbitration1000 Sylvan AvenueEnglewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a  
conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section,  
the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision  
is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on  
the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are  
for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and  
enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the  
dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms  
of this provision.  
Governing Law: The law of the state of your residence shall govern this  
Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that  
such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.  
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon  
receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all  
arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in  
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by  
the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all  
AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated  
in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you  
prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and  
6
expenses to the extent required by applicable law. If the arbitrator finds  
either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand  
is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the  
standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the  
payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such  
a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed  
by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.  
Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek  
attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.  
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may  
choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1)  
documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing,  
or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your  
claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the  
AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location  
within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree  
to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.  
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you  
opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an  
arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later  
than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s  
purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.  
com, with the subject line: Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-  
2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a)  
your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased;  
(c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID  
or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can  
be found (i) on the product box; (ii) on a label on the back of the product  
beneath the battery, if the battery is removable; or (iii) from the settings  
menu via the following path: Settings About tablet Status). You  
may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner  
described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice  
will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting  
out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of  
7
the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full  
benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt  
out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision  
described above.

Anti-Theft Guide  
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's  
been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example,  
if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google  
account or screen lock information can use the device.  
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:  
Ţ
Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a  
screen lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu  
unless your screen is unlocked.  
Ţ
Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but  
you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup  
process until your Google account information is entered again.  
After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or  
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.  
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.  
NOTE  
Ţ
Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your  
device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account  
information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all  
after performing the factory reset.

FCC RF Exposure Information  
WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.  
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the  
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted  
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)  
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both  
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies  
with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept 0

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency  
Emissions  
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,  
emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer  
information addresses commonly asked questions about the health  
effects of wireless devices.  
Are wireless devices safe?  
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency  
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and  
continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA)  
and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and  
procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication  
on health issues related to device usage where it states, The scientific  
community at large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence does  
not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from  
the devices and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community  
does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in  
knowledge. That research is being conducted around the world and FDA  
continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint  
FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the subject index,  
select Cell Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free  
at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered  
into a cooperative research and development agreement through which  
additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC issued its own  
website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that  
proves that wireless device usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other  
problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.  
For Your Safety  
94  
This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through  
the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.  
What does “SAR” mean?  
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental  
Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety  
guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless  
device model is available for sale to the 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  
Absorption Rate, or “SAR. SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption  
of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the device  
transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since  
1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless device not  
exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.  
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual  
SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the  
reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to  
call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity  
of the device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.  
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested  
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by  
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are  
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the  
body) as required by the FCC for each model.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device  
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF  
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with  
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.  
fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFV521.  
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and  
65 at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/  
bulletins or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association  
website at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You  
may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your device.  
For Your Safety  
95  
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-free kits can be used with wireless devices  
for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of  
RF energy in the head because the device, which is the source of the RF  
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the  
device 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 devices  
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. Also, if  
you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a device with an  
antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow  
your wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of  
your device.  
Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?  
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show  
a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.  
The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by  
other national governments have advised that children be discouraged  
from using wireless device at all. For example, the Stewart Report from  
the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December  
2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no  
evidence exists that using a device causes brain tumors or other ill effects.  
[The UK’s] recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health  
hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.

children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless  
device use.

Consumer Information on SAR  
(Specific Absorption Rate)  
This model device meets the government's requirements for exposure to  
radio waves.  
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission  
of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive  
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general  
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed  
by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough  
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety  
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and  
health.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of  
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR  
limit set by the FCC is 1.6`W/kg.  
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified  
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power  
level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the  
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while  
For Your Safety  
98  
operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the device  
is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested  
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by  
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are  
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the  
body) as required by the FCC for each model.  
The highest SAR value for this device when worn on the body, as  
described in this user guide, is 1.19`W/kg. (body-worn measurements  
differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and  
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR levels  
of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government  
requirement for safe exposure.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device  
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF  
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with  
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://  
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID ZNFV521. Additional  
information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at  
http://www.ctia.org/.  
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile device  
used by the public is 1.6`watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of  
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give  
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in  
measurements.  
For Your Safety  
99  
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 portable 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. This includes the use  
of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other  
wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in  
some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound  
and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing  
loss and other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound  
produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the  
sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should  
follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable  
audio device:  
Ţ
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume  
at which you can hear adequately.  
Ţ
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear  
the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can  
hear what you are listening to.  
Ţ
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you  
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use  
noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental  
noise.  
Ţ
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less  
time is required before your hearing could be affected.  
Ţ
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such  
as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary  
hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.  
Ţ
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you  
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience  
any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio  
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

TIA Safety Information  
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless  
handheld devices.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal  
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter  
and 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  
For Your Safety  
101  
devices. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards  
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation  
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-  
Ionizing Radiation Protection  
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 available body of research to develop the ANSI  
Standard (C95.1).  
The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines (and those  
standards).  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized  
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device and  
may violate FCC regulations.  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
For your device to operate most efficiently:  
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the tablet is in use. Contact  
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the tablet to operate  
at a higher 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 your wireless device.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a  
minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld  
For Your Safety  
102  
wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent  
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Ţ
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6) inches from their  
pacemaker when the device is turned ON;  
Ţ
Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;  
Ţ
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential  
for interference;  
Ţ
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 the  
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider  
(or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, 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.  
Health Care Facilities  
Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted  
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may  
use 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.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.  
For Your Safety  
103  
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 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.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always  
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline  
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or 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.  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either  
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in  
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly  
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
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  
For Your Safety  
104  
being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in idle 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.  
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of tablets?  
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting  
consumer products such as tablets before they can be sold, as it does  
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to  
take action if tablets are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at  
a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require  
the manufacturers of 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 does not justify FDA regulatory  
actions, the FDA has urged the tablet industry to take a number of steps,  
including the following:  
Ţ
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the  
type emitted by tablets;  
Ţ
Design tablets in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user  
that is not necessary for device function; and  
Ţ
Cooperate in providing users of tablets with the best possible  
information 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 ensure  
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to  
this working group:  
Ţ
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Ţ
Environmental Protection Agency  
Ţ
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
For Your Safety  
105  
Ţ
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency  
working group activities, as well.  
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for 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.  
The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions  
about tablets.  
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the tablet networks rely  
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the  
tablets themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base  
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can  
get from tablets. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety  
questions discussed in this document.  
3. What kinds of devices are the subject of this update?  
The term “wireless device” refers here to handheld wireless devices 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 short distance between the device and the  
user’s head.  
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were  
developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety  
agencies. When the device 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.  
4. 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 (RF) energy  
exposures characteristic of wireless devices 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  
For Your Safety  
106  
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 the 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 devices, so we do not 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 devices  
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 device RF exposures. However, none of the studies can  
answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of  
device use in these studies 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 people  
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  
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 tablets. Many factors affect this  
measurement, such as the angle at which the tablet is held, or which  
model of tablet is used.  
For Your Safety  
107  
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health  
effects of tablet RF?  
The 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 (RF) energy.  
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electro Magnetic 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.  
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 experts in government, industry,  
and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through  
contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include  
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device users. The CRADA  
will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the  
context of the latest research developments around the world.  
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I  
can get by using my tablet?  
All tablets sold in the United States must comply with Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines  
in consultation with the FDA and the other federal health and safety  
agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless devices is set at  
a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).  
The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by the  
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National  
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit  
takes into consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues  
that absorb energy from the tablet and is set well below levels known  
For Your Safety  
108  
to have effects. Manufacturers of tablets must report the RF exposure  
level for each model of tablet to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.  
fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification  
number on your tablet so you can find your tablet’s RF exposure level in  
the online listing.  
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy  
coming from tablets?  
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing  
a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF)  
energy exposure from tablets and other wireless handsets with the  
participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The  
standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless  
Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques, sets forth the first  
consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is  
deposited in the heads and bodies of tablet users. The test method uses  
a tissue-simulating model of the human head and body. Standardized  
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of  
measurements made at different laboratories on the same tablet. SAR is  
the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by  
the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or  
milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a  
tablet complies with safety guidelines.  
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency  
energy from my 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 (RF) energy. Since time is a  
key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount  
of time spent using a tablet will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct  
extended conversations using a wireless device 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  
For Your Safety  
109  
use a headset and carry the tablet away from your body or use a wireless  
device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data does  
not demonstrate that 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 tablet use.  
10. What about children using tablets?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of tablets,  
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower  
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above  
would apply to children and teenagers using tablets. Reducing the time  
of 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 devices 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill effects.  
Their recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health  
hazard exists.  
11. What about wireless communications device interference with  
medical equipment?  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless communications devices can  
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped  
develop a detailed test method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference  
(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless  
devices. 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 the 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 communications device EMI.  
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless  
For Your Safety  
110  
devices 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 communications devices so that no interference occurs when  
a person uses a “compatible” device and a “compatible” hearing aid at the  
same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.  
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless communications  
devices for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should  
harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to  
assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Driving  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas  
where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your device while  
driving, please observe the following:  
Ţ
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;  
Ţ
Use hands-free operation, if available;  
Ţ
Pull off the road and park before using it.  
10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by  
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies  
the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.  
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your  
wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense  
and remember the following tips:  
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial  
and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take  
advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic  
redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you  
can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the  
road.  
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free  
wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you  
choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a  
speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available  
to you.  
3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where  
you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get  
an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail  
answer it for you.  
For Your Safety  
112  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or  
situations. 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, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy  
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the  
road.  
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are  
reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while  
driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is common  
sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are  
reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby  
vehicles.  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are  
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before  
you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you  
may be stopped at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. But  
if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip -- 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. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not  
mix; they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the  
wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving  
and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to  
divert your attention from the road.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of  
the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in  
dangerous situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only three  
numbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of  
fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s  
a free call on your wireless phone!  
For Your Safety  
113  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless  
phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in  
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other  
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local  
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency  
assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter  
while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to  
merit a call for emergency services. But you can still use your wireless  
phone to lend a hand. 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 wireless number.  
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use  
your mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that  
you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations  
regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or  
otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use his or her phone  
while operating a vehicle.
