Health and Safety Information 2
Section 1: Health and 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, this device is restricted from
being used outdoors when operating in frequencies between 5.15-
5.25 GHz.
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.
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.
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.
