There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. 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.Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure of the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

8Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, VAIO PC is designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.Before VAIO PC 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 government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operations, this PC has been tested and meets FCC FR exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile use as normal PC use.SONY has not measured and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when any changes to the original product.(For PCG-1J1L models with wireless LAN and wireless WAN) The personal computer (PCG-1J1L) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the personal computer (PCG-1J1L) has been shown to be 0.998 W/kg when 850 band and BT are transmitting simultaneously. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant condition. Users are not permitted to modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized change made to this device could void your authority to operate this device.(Wireless WAN and Wireless LAN transmitter do not operate simultaneously.)Personal Medical DevicesWhen Wireless WAN (EDGE module) power is on the transmitting, it may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the PC and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off WAN feature. Contact your cardiologist for more information.For other medical devices, please consult the manufacture of the device.Emergency CallsEDGE module that is embedded to SONY VAIO do not support voice calls, hence their use for essential communication is not possible.Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharges (ESD)Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that VAIO PC is in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.IC Exposure of Humans to RF FieldsThe installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
