energy from the wireless tablet and is set well below levels known to have
effects. Manufacturers of wireless 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 wireless tablets?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposure from wireless 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 wireless 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 wireless tablet complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency
energy from my wireless 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 wireless 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
