Section 12: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with 
using your Galaxy Tab. The terms “GALAXY” or “mobile 
device” are used in this section to refer to your Galaxy Tab. 
Read this information before using your mobile device.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) 
Signals
Although GALAXY 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 specifically to RF exposure from wireless phones, it 
may apply similarly to GALAXY 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 
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.
