Section 11:
Health
and
Safety
lnfonnation
This
section
outlines
the
safety
precautions
associated
with
using
your
Galaxy
Camera
.
The
terms
"GALAXY"
or
"mobile
device"
are
used
in
this
section
to
refer
to
your
Galaxy
Camera.
Read
this
information
before
using
your
mobile
device
.
Exposure
to
Radio
Frequency
(RF)
Signals
Although
GALAXY
is
not
a
cell
phone,
it
can
operate
on
the
same
network
as
cell
phones
and
can
use
the
same
Radio
Frequency
(RF)
signals
to
communicate
with
the
network
as
a
cell
phone.
Therefore,
although
the
following
infonnation
refers
specifically
to
RF
exposure
from
wireless
phones,
it
may
apply
similarly
to
GALAXY
when
it
is
being
used
on
a
cell
phone
network.
The
U.S.
Food
and
Drug
Administration
(FDA)
has
published
information
for
consumers
relating
to
Radio
Frequency
(RF)
exposure
from
wireless
phones
.
The
FDA
publication
includes
the
following
information:
Do
cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many
people
are
concerned
that
cell
phone
radiation
will
cause
cancer
or
other
serious
health
hazards.
The
weight
of
scientific
evidence
has
not
linked
cell
phones
with
any
health
problems.
Cell
phones
emit
low
levels
of
Radio
Frequency
(RF)
energy.
Over
the
past
15
years,
scientists
have
conducted
hundreds
of
studies
looking
at
the
biological
effects
of
the
radio
frequency
energy
emitted
by
cell
phones
.
While
some
researchers
have
reported
biological
changes
associated
with
RF
energy,
these
studies
have
failed
to
be
replicated.
The
majority
of
studies
published
have
failed
to
show
an
association
between
exposure
to
radio
frequency
from
a
cell
phone
and
health
problems.
The
low
levels
of
RF
cell
phones
emit
while
in
use
are
in
the
microwave
frequency
range
.
They
also
emit
RF
at
substantially
reduced
time
intervals
when
in
the
stand-by
mode.
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.
