Follow local laws about using mobile devices, headphones and helmets.

Radio frequency interference

Observe rules that prohibit the use of wireless technology (e.g. cellular or WiFi). Your device is designed to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions but use of wireless devices can negatively affect other electronic equipment. For example, while flying in an aircraft or immediately before boarding, use your wireless device only according to instructions provided by the airline. Use of a wireless device in an aircraft may disrupt wireless networks, present a hazard to aircraft operation, or be illegal. You may be able to use your device in airplane mode.

Medical device interference

Your device uses radios and other components that emit electromagnetic fields, and contains magnets. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers and other implanted and nearby medical devices. Always keep the phone and its charger more than 15 cm (6 in) from the surface of the skin near the pacemaker. Hold the phone on the other side of your body from the pacemaker or other implanted or nearby medical device. Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket or in a pocket near the pacemaker or other implanted or nearby medical device. If you have questions about using your Google device with or near your pacemaker or other implanted or nearby medical device, consult your healthcare provider. If you suspect your device is interfering with your pacemaker or medical devices, turn off your device and consult your physician for information specific to your medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Explosive atmospheres

Do not use, store, or transport your phone where flammables or explosives are stored (in gas stations, fuel depots, or chemical plants, for example). Do not use your wireless device where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Observe all notices and signs where these hazards might be present.

Child safety

Your phone contains (or comes with) small parts, plastic elements and parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or create a choking hazard. Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small children or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone. Consult a physician immediately if small parts are swallowed.

Emergency communications

This device operates using radio signals and may not establish or maintain a connection in all conditions. Wireless device may not be reliable for emergency communications. While some jurisdictions transmit emergency information over wireless networks, your device may not always receive these communications depending network connectivity.

Health related functions

Your phone and its associated exercise application functions are not medical devices and are intended for information purposes only. They are not designed or intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, monitoring, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

Water resistance

Your device is water resistant but not waterproof. Your phone has a water protection rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. Water resistance may be compromised due to normal wear and tear or damage to the phone. The phone charger and other accessories are not water resistant. Do not charge the device when wet.

Magnetic fields

Avoid placing any media containing magnets or sensitive to magnetism, such as credit cards, bank cards, audio/video tapes, or magnetic memory devices, near this product or its charger or charging cable, because you may lose information stored on those media. Media containing information sensitive to magnets should be kept at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from this phone.

Human exposure to radio frequency energy

Like any other phone, your wireless device emits radio frequency energy (RF) during use. According to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), the critical effect of RF exposure relevant to human health and safety is heating of exposed tissue.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), “Some health and safety interest groups have interpreted certain reports to suggest that wireless device use may be linked to cancer and other illnesses, posing potentially greater risks for children than adults. While these assertions have gained increased public attention, currently no scientific evidence establishes a causal link between wireless device use and cancer or other illnesses.”

However, above a certain level (referred to as the threshold) depending on the duration of exposure, RF exposure and the accompanying temperature rise can provoke serious health effects, such as heatstroke and tissue damage (burns). To avoid hazards to health deriving from high RF exposure, limits are set in relation to the threshold known to show adverse effects, with an additional reduction factor to take care of scientific uncertainties. These limits are generally expressed in terms of the specific absorption rate (SAR). SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. SAR-limits were first established in 1996 by the FCC in the USA and they were then adopted elsewhere.

You can find additional information about SAR at the following pages:

• fcc.gov
• icnirp.org
• ec.europa.eu

Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL were tested and certified to not exceed SAR limits in the U.S., Canada, European Union, Australia, or India. Pixel 2 XL was additionally tested and certified to not exceed SAR in Singapore. You can find the SAR values applicable in each of those jurisdiction on your phone: Settings > About phone > Regulatory labels.

For Pixel 2 , the highest Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value reported for this device type when tested at the ear is 0.92 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 0.41 W/kg. For Pixel 2 XL , the highest Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value reported for this device type when tested at the ear is 0.74 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 0.84 W/kg.

You can also see SAR values on the website of the DoT/ Telecommunication Engineering Centre.

While most of the laboratory studies have been unable to find a direct link between exposure to radio frequency radiation and health, the DoT has prescribed the following precautionary measures while using the mobile handset:

Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a lower power Bluetooth emitter.

Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR. Keep your calls short or send a text message (SMS) instead. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents, and pregnant women.

Use your cell phone when the signal quality is good. People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the implant.
