These regulations include essential safety margins designed to ensure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and general health status. The exposure recommendations use a unit of measurement called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR, which refers to the amount of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the head and body when transmitting with the device. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.

SAR tests are conducted based on standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest possible power level in all available frequency bands.

This device model complies with the rules for exposure to radiofrequency radiation when used at the head or with a minimum distance of 1.5 centimeters from the body. If a protective cover, belt clip, or other device holder is used to carry the device on the body, this accessory should not contain metal and should be at least the specified distance from the body.

A good network connection is required to send data or messages. Transmission may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the distance instructions are followed until the transmission is complete.

During general use, SAR values are typically well below the stated values. This is because your mobile device's operating power is automatically reduced when full power is not required for the call, to increase system efficiency and minimize network interference. The lower the output power, the lower the SAR value.

Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Over time, components or design may change, and some changes may affect SAR values.

For more information, visit www.sar-tick.com. Note that mobile devices can transmit even when you are not making a voice call.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), current scientific information provides no evidence that special precautions are necessary when using mobile devices. If you wish to reduce your exposure, the WHO recommends limiting usage or using a hands-free device to keep the mobile device away from your head and body. For more information, explanations, and discussions on RF exposure, visit the WHO website at www.who.int/health-topics/electromagnetic-fields#tab=tab_1.

Using Low Blue Light Mode

Blue is a color in the visible light spectrum and can be perceived by the human eye. Of all the colors the human eye perceives (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red), blue has the shortest wavelength and thus generates the most energy. As blue light penetrates the cornea and lens of the eye before reaching the retina, it can cause symptoms such as itchy and red eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and sleep disturbances. To limit and reduce blue light, the display industry has developed solutions such as Low Blue Light mode. To turn on Low Blue Light mode on your tablet, tap Settings > Display > Night Light > Turn on. If you need to use your tablet for extended periods, take frequent breaks and relax your eyes by looking at distant objects.
