Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions

Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,

emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer

information addresses commonly asked questions about the health

effects of wireless devices.

Scientiﬁc research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency

(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and

continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)

and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and

procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on

health issues related to device usage where it states, “The scientiﬁc

community at large … believes that the weight of scientiﬁc evidence does

not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from the

devices and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientiﬁc community does

recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.

That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to

monitor developments in this ﬁeld. You can access the joint FDA/FCC

website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell

Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888)

463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a

cooperative research and development agreement through which additional

scientiﬁc research is being conducted. The FCC issued its own website

113

Safety

publication stating that “there is no scientiﬁc evidence that proves that

wireless device usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems,

including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.”

This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through

the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for

wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is

available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and

certiﬁed to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.

One of these limits is expressed as a Speciﬁc Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”

SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests

for SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest power

level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that

the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,

averaged over one gram of tissue.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR

value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported

SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call,

depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the

device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. Before

a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and

certiﬁed to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the

government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are

performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and next to the body)

as required by the FCC for each model.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device

with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF

emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on ﬁle with

the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.

fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFVK410.

may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your device.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take

to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.

You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,

as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC

website states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for

convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF

energy in the head because the device, which is the source of the RF

emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the

device is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use,

then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless devices

marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless

of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either

conﬁguration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you

use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a device with an

antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your

wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your

device.

Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientiﬁc evidence does not show a

danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.”

The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by

other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from

using wireless devices at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the

United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000.

In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists

that using a device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s]

recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly precautionary;

it was not based on scientiﬁc evidence that any health hazard exists. A

Consumer Information on SAR

(Speciﬁc Absorption Rate)

This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to

radio waves.

Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines

and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent

scientiﬁc organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of

scientiﬁc studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin

designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of

measurement known as the Speciﬁc Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR

limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions speciﬁed

by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level

in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest

certiﬁed power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can

be well below the maximum value. Because the device is designed to

operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach

the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station

antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested

and certiﬁed to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the

government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are

performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and next to the body)

as required by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this device when worn on the body, as described

in this user guide, is 0.77 W/kg. (body-worn measurements differ among

device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC

118 Safety

requirements). While there may be differences between SAR levels of

various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government

requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device

with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF

emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device 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 ZNFVK810. Additional

information on Speciﬁc Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the

Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://

www.ctia.org/.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile device used by

the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The

standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional

protection for the public and to account for any variations in

measurements.

Caution:

Avoid potential hearing loss

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common

cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientiﬁc research suggests that

using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular

telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to

permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of

headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless

devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some

studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and

distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and

other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by

a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the

device, the device settings, and the headphones. You should follow some

commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:

119

Safety

• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at

which you can hear adequately.

• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the

people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear

what you are listening to.

• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose

to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-

cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.

• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is

required before your hearing could be affected.

• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as

rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary

hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience

ringing in your ears, hear mufﬂed speech, or experience any temporary

hearing difﬁculty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue

use and consult your doctor.

TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld

devices.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and

receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted

RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by

both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)

* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation

Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of

the relevant scientiﬁc literature. For example, over 120 scientists,

engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,

121

Safety

and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI

Standard (C95.1).

The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines (and those

standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modiﬁcations, or attachments could damage the device and may

violate FCC regulations.

Tips on Efﬁcient Operation

For your device to operate most efﬁciently:

Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the tablet is in use. Contact

with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the tablet to operate at

a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,

certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals

from your wireless device.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a

minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld

wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the

pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent

research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the tablet more than six (6) inches from their

pacemaker when the device is turned ON;

• Should not carry the tablet in a breast pocket;

122 Safety

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference;

• Should turn the tablet OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect

that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the

event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider

(or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of

your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF

energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your tablet OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in

these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use

equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the

manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your tablet OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. Switch OFF your

tablet before boarding an aircraft.

123

Safety

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your tablet OFF when in a

“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs

and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your tablet OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could

cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,

marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline

stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage

facilities; vehicles using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as propane or

butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain,

dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inﬂates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either

installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in

the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly

installed and the air bag inﬂates, serious injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices

and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Tablets:

1. Do wireless tablets pose a health hazard?

The available scientiﬁc evidence does not show that any health problems

are associated with using wireless tablets.

There is no proof, however, that wireless tablets are absolutely safe.

Wireless tablets emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the

microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF

when in idle mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects

124 Safety

(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating

effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level

RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have

suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such ﬁndings have

not been conﬁrmed by additional research. In some cases, other

researchers have had difﬁculty in reproducing those studies, or in

determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless tablets?

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting

consumer products such as wireless tablets before they can be sold, as it

does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has

authority to take action if wireless tablets are shown to emit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a

case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless tablets to notify

users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the tablets so that

the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientiﬁc data does not justify FDA regulatory actions,

the FDA has urged the wireless tablet industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type

emitted by wireless tablets;

• Design wireless tablets in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the

user that is not necessary for device function; and

• Cooperate in providing users of wireless tablets with the best possible

information on possible effects of wireless tablet use on human health.

The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies

that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure

coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to

this working group:

• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

• Environmental Protection Agency

125

Safety

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration

• National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working

group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless tablets with the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All tablets that are sold in the

United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety

questions about wireless tablets.

The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless tablet networks

rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the

wireless tablets themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these

base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can

get from wireless tablets. Base stations are thus not the subject of the

safety questions discussed in this document.

3. What kinds of devices are the subject of this update?

The term “wireless device” refers here to handheld wireless devices with

built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” devices. These

types of wireless devices can expose the user to measurable Radio

Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the device

and the user’s head.

These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were

developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety

agencies. When the device is located at greater distances from the user,

the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure

decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.

4. What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conﬂicting results, and many

studies have suffered from ﬂaws in their research methods. Animal

experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposures characteristic of wireless devices have yielded conﬂicting results

that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,

126 Safety

however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the

development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies

that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been

genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be

pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other

studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These

conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use

wireless devices, so we do not know with certainty what the results of

such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies

have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies

investigated any possible association between the use of wireless devices

and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,

tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of

the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from

wireless device RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer

questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of device

use in these studies was around three years.

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from

wireless tablets poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people

actually using wireless tablets would provide some of the data that are

needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few

years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological

studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,

but ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about

some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between

the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors

develop — if they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation of

epidemiological studies is hampered by difﬁculties in measuring actual RF

exposure during day-to-day use of wireless tablets. Many factors affect this

measurement, such as the angle at which the tablet is held, or which

model of tablet is used.

127

Safety

6. What is the FDA doing to ﬁnd out more about the possible health

effects of wireless tablet RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with

groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal

studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of

exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization

International Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in

1996. An inﬂuential result of this work has been the development of a

detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of

new research programs around the world. The project has also helped

develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.

The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)

have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement

(CRADA) to do research on wireless device safety. The FDA provides the

scientiﬁc oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,

and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through

contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include

both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device users. The CRADA

will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the

context of the latest research developments around the world.

7. How can I ﬁnd out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I

can get by using my wireless tablet?

All tablets sold in the United States must comply with Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency

(RF) energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in

consultation with the FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies.

The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless devices is set at a Speciﬁc

Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit

is consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of

Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on

Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into

consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb

energy from the wireless tablet and is set well below levels known to have

128 Safety

effects. Manufacturers of wireless tablets must report the RF exposure

level for each model of tablet to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.

fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identiﬁcation

number on your tablet so you can ﬁnd your tablet’s RF exposure level in the

online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy

coming from wireless tablets?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a

technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposure from wireless tablets and other wireless handsets with the

participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,

“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Speciﬁc

Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless

Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the ﬁrst

consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is

deposited in the heads and bodies of wireless tablet users. The test

method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head and body.

Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the

consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same

tablet. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in

tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured

in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to

determine whether a wireless tablet complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency

energy from my wireless tablet?

If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not know

that there is — it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about

avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize

your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in

how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent

using a wireless tablet will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct

extended conversations using a wireless device every day, you could place

more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the

exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could

129

Safety

use a headset and carry the wireless tablet away from your body or use a

wireless device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientiﬁc data

does not demonstrate that wireless tablets are harmful. But if you are

concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use

measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from

wireless tablet use.

10. What about children using wireless tablets?

The scientiﬁc evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless

tablets, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower

exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above

would apply to children and teenagers using wireless tablets. Reducing the

time of wireless tablet use and increasing the distance between the user

and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that

children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all. For example, the

government in the United Kingdom distributed leaﬂets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists

that using a wireless device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly

precautionary; it was not based on scientiﬁc evidence that any health

hazard exists.

11. What about wireless communications device interference with

medical equipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless communications devices can

interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped

develop a detailed test method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference

(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and deﬁbrillators from wireless

devices. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the

Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The

ﬁnal draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and

many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow

manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and deﬁbrillators are safe

from wireless communications device EMI.

130 Safety

The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless

devices and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute

of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard speciﬁes test

methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless

communications devices so that no interference occurs when a person

uses a “compatible” device and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same

time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.

The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless communications devices

for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful

interference be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the

interference and work to resolve the problem.

138 LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

7.11 Warranty Laws

The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of

consumer goods:

• The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790

et seq],

• The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C

§§2101 et seq], and

• The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission

Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703].

A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that

the product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair,

or replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies

include damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service

contract or for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC

§2310(d).] Except for some labeling and disclosure requirements,

the federal Act does not preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]

The Consumer Warranty Act does not affect the rights and obligations

of parties under the state Uniform Commercial Code, except the

provisions of the Act prevail over provisions of the Commercial Code

when they conﬂict. [CC §1790.3.]

For purposes of small claims actions, this course will focus on rights

and duties under the state laws.
