6 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, 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 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.
The biological effects of radio frequency energy
should not be confused with the effects from
other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy,
such as is found in X-rays and gamma rays,
can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a
process where electrons are stripped away from
their normal locations in atoms and molecules.
It can permanently damage biological tissues
including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio
frequency energy, including both radio waves
and microwaves, are not great enough to cause
ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore,
RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation.
Other types of non-ionizing radiation include
visible light, infrared radiation (heat), and other
forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively
low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large
amounts can increase body temperatures and
cause tissue damage. Two areas of the body,
the eyes and the testes, are particularly
vulnerable to RF heating because there is
relatively little blood flow in them to carry away
excess heat.

Research Results to Date: Is there a connection
between RF and certain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date
say no. In addition, attempts to replicate and
confirm the few studies that have shown a
connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore
believes that the weight of scientific evidence
does not show an association between
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell
phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the
scientific community has supported additional
research to address gaps in knowledge. Some
of these studies are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study
designed to determine whether cell phones
increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A
report published in the International Journal of
Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell
phone usage for more than 5,000 people with
brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a
similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell
phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most
people had no increased risk of brain cancer
from using cell phones. For people with the
heaviest use of cell phones (an average of
more than ½ hour per day, every day, for over

10 years) the study suggested a slight increase
in brain cancer. However, the authors
determined that biases and errors prevented
any conclusions being drawn from this data.
Additional information about Interphone can be
found at
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/
pr200_E.pdf.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to
date, but it did not answer all questions about
cell phone safety. Additional research is being
conducted around the world, and the FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users
(COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term
health monitoring of a large group of people to
determine if there are any health issues linked
to long-term exposure to radio frequency
energy from cell phone use. The COSMOS
study will follow approximately 300,000 adult
cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30 years.

study can be found at
