Compliance informationExposure to radio frequency signalsWhen your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet has an established Wi-Fi connection, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF)signals. Your tablet is designed to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications (MIC), and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of RF exposure for wirelessdevices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S., andinternational standards bodies:• ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1999, American National Standards Institute/Institute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersStandard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to300 GHz• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological Effects andExposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields inthe Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz• EN 50360, 2001, Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with the basic restrictionsrelated to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300 MHz to 3 GHz)• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), 1998, Guidelines for LimitingExposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)• Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), 1999, Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on thelimitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz)• MIC, 2001, Article 14-2 of the Ordinance for Regulating Radio EquipmentSpecific absorption rate dataTHIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHENUSED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of theU.S. Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and recommended by The Council of the EuropeanUnion when used as directed in the previous section. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed byindependent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, orSAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device9
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at thehighest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC, IC, and TheCouncil of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement forsafe exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection(ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, 5 mm from the body) as required by the FCC,IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC,IC, and The Council of the European Union requirements.The highest SAR value for your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet model when tested for use 0 mm from the body is outlined asfollows:Tablet SAR (W/kg) for 1 g SAR (W/kg) for 10 gBlackBerry PlayBook tablet (modelnumber REF31LW) 1.47 0.755BlackBerry PlayBook tablet (modelnumber REG51LW) 1.43 0.752BlackBerry PlayBook tablet orBlackBerry PlayBook tablet (modelnumber REH51UW)1.29 0.649The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reported SAR levels evaluated asin compliance with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines when the tablet is used as directed in this section. SARinformation on this wireless device model is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section ofwww.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching for the FCC ID for your tablet listed below. You can find the FCC ID on the bottom ofyour tablet, beside the charging contacts.Tablet FCC IDBlackBerry PlayBook tablet (model number REF31LW) L6AREF30LWBlackBerry PlayBook tablet (model number REG51LW) L6AREG50LWBlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry PlayBook tablet(model number REH51UW) L6AREH50UW10
Additional information on SAR can be found on the CTIA - The Wireless Association website at www.ctia.org. In Japan,additional information on SAR can be found on the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) website atwww.arib-emf.org/index.html, or on the Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs andCommunications (MIC) website at www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/index.htm.___________________________________* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 g oftissue for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the body orhead (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). Studies suggest that thestandard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements.The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic fields have notbeen evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
