This Tablet is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Tablet transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR guideline includes a considerable safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age and health.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model Tablet with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model Tablet is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on: FCC ID: 2ABGH-R8L5T or at http://www.orbic.us/
For body worn operation, this Tablet has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 10 mm from the body. Use of otherenhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the Tablet at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 10 mm from your body when the Tablet is switched on

(2) This Product must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
(3) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE 1:

This Product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residentialinstallation. This Product generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this Product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the Product off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTE 2:

Orbic or the manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to the Product. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns
off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
