4A. Important Safety
Information
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, do not use this device outside as a Wi-Fi
hotspot or in Wi-Fi Direct mode outside when using
the 5.15-5.25 GHz band.
This section outlines the safety precautions
associated with using your phone. The terms “mobile

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
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 scientific 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 frequency
from a cell phone and health problems.
