TIA (TelecommunicationsIndustry Association)Safety InformationThe following is the completeTIA Safety Information forwireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio FrequencySignal
Your wireless handheld portablephone is a low power radiotransmitter and receiver. When it isON, it receives and also sends outRadio Frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the FederalCommunications Commissions(FCC) adopted RF exposureguidelines with safety levels forhandheld wireless phones. Thoseguidelines are consistent withthe safety standards previouslyset by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:
l ANSI C95.1 (1992) * l NCRP Report 86 (1986) l ICNIRP (1996)l Health Canada, Safety Code
6, 1999.Those standards were based oncomprehensive and periodicevaluations of the relevantscientific literature. For example,over 120 scientists, engineers,and physicians from universities,government health agencies, andindustry reviewed the availablebody of research to develop theANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phonecomplies with the FCCguidelines, IC Regulations (andthose standards).

Permanent hearing loss mayoccur if you use your phoneand/or headset at a high volume.Set the volume to a safe level.You can adapt over time to ahigher volume of sound that maysound normal but can bedamaging to your hearing. If youexperience ringing in your ears ormuffled speech, stop listeningand have your hearing checked.The louder the volume, the lesstime is required before yourhearing could be affected.Hearing experts suggest that toprotect your hearing:l Limit the amount of time you
use your phone and/orheadset at high volume.
l Avoid turning up the volumeto block out noisysurroundings.
l Turn the volume down if youcan’t hear people speakingnear you.
For information about how to seta maximum volume limit on yourphone, see the features guide foryour phone.

FDA Consumer UpdateThe U.S. Food andDrug Administration’s
Center for Devices andRadiological Health ConsumerUpdate on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose ahealth hazard?
The available scientific evidencedoes not show that any healthproblems are associated withusing wireless phones. There is noproof, however, that wirelessphones are absolutely safe.Wireless phones emit low levels ofradiofrequency energy (RF) in themicrowave range while being used.They also emit very low levels ofRF when in the Main MenuScreen. Whereas high levels of RFcan produce health effects (byheating tissue), exposure to lowlevel RF that does not produceheating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Manystudies of low level RF exposureshave not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies havesuggested that some biologicaleffects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmedby additional research. In somecases, other researchers have haddifficulty in reproducing thosestudies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's roleconcerning the safety ofwireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does notreview the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products suchas wireless phones before theycan be sold, as it does with newdrugs or medical devices.However, the agency hasauthority to take action ifwireless phones are shown toemit radiofrequency energy (RF)
Safety
82
Safety
at a level that is hazardous to theuser. In such a case, the FDAcould require the manufacturersof wireless phones to notifyusers of the health hazard and torepair, replace, or recall thephones so that the hazard nolonger exists.Although the existing scientificdata do not justify FDAregulatory actions, the FDA hasurged the wireless phoneindustry to take a number ofsteps, including the following:l Support needed research into
possible biological effects ofRF of the type emitted bywireless phones;
l Design wireless phones in away that minimizes any RFexposure to the user that isnot necessary for devicefunction; and
l Cooperate in providing usersof wireless phones with the
best possible information onpossible effects of wirelessphone use on human health.
The FDA belongs to aninteragency working group of thefederal agencies that haveresponsibility for differentaspects of RF safety to ensurecoordinated efforts at the federallevel. The following agenciesbelong to this working group:l National Institute for
Occupational Safety andHealth
l Environmental ProtectionAgency
l Occupational Safety andHealth Administration
l National Telecommunicationsand InformationAdministration
The National Institutes of Healthparticipates in some interagencyworking group activities, as well.

Safety
The FDA shares regulatoryresponsibilities for wirelessphones with the FederalCommunications Commission(FCC). All phones that are soldin the United States must complywith FCC safety guidelines thatlimit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA andother health agencies for safetyquestions about wireless phones.The FCC also regulates the basestations that the wireless phonenetworks rely upon. While thesebase stations operate at higherpower than do the wirelessphones themselves, the RFexposures that people get fromthese base stations are typicallythousands of times lower thanthose they can get from wirelessphones. Base stations are thusnot the subject of the safetyquestions discussed in thisdocument.
3. What kinds of phones arethe subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refershere to handheld wireless phoneswith built-in antennas, oftencalled “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS”phones. These types of wirelessphones can expose the user tomeasurable radiofrequencyenergy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone andthe user’s head. These RFexposures are limited by FCCsafety guidelines that weredeveloped with the advice of theFDA and other federal health andsafety agencies. When the phoneis located at greater distancesfrom the user, the exposure to RFis drastically lower because aperson's RF exposure decreasesrapidly with increasing distancefrom the source. The so called“cordless phones,” which have abase unit connected to the
Safety
84
Safety
telephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lowerpower levels, and thus produceRF exposures far below the FCCsafety limits.
4. What are the results of theresearch done already?
The research done thus far hasproduced conflicting results, andmany studies have suffered fromflaws in their research methods.Animal experiments investigatingthe effects of radiofrequencyenergy (RF) exposurescharacteristic of wireless phoneshave yielded conflicting resultsthat often cannot be repeated inother laboratories. A few animalstudies, however, have suggestedthat low levels of RF couldaccelerate the development ofcancer in laboratory animals.However, many of the studies thatshowed increased tumordevelopment used animals that
had been genetically engineeredor treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as tobe pre-disposed to develop cancerin the absence of RF exposure.Other studies exposed the animalsto RF for up to 22 hours per day.These conditions are not similar tothe conditions under which peopleuse wireless phones, so we don’tknow with certainty what theresults of such studies mean forhuman health. Three largeepidemiology studies have beenpublished since December 2000.Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possibleassociation between the use ofwireless phones and primary braincancer, glioma, meningioma, oracoustic neuroma, tumors of thebrain or salivary gland, leukemia, orother cancers. None of the studiesdemonstrated the existence of anyharmful health effects fromwireless phone RF exposures.
85
Safety
However, none of the studies cananswer questions about long-termexposures, since the averageperiod of phone use in thesestudies was around three years.
5. What research is needed todecide whether RF exposurefrom wireless phones posesa health risk?
A combination of laboratorystudies and epidemiologicalstudies of people actually usingwireless phones would providesome of the data that are needed.Lifetime animal exposure studiescould be completed in a few years.However, very large numbers ofanimals would be needed toprovide reliable proof of a cancerpromoting effect if one exists.Epidemiological studies canprovide data that is directlyapplicable to human populations,but 10 or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide answersabout some health effects, such ascancer. This is because the intervalbetween the time of exposure to acancer-causing agent and the timetumors develop — if they do —may be many, many years. Theinterpretation of epidemiologicalstudies is hampered by difficultiesin measuring actual RF exposureduring day-to-day use of wirelessphones. Many factors affect thismeasurement, such as the angle atwhich the phone is held, or whichmodel of phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing tofind out more about thepossible health effects ofwireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S.National Toxicology Program andwith groups of investigatorsaround the world to ensure thathigh priority animal studies are
Safety
86
Safety
conducted to address importantquestions about the effects ofexposure to radio frequencyenergy (RF). The FDA has been aleading participant in the WorldHealth Organization InternationalElectromagnetic Fields (EMF)Project since its inception in1996. An influential result of thiswork has been the developmentof a detailed agenda of researchneeds that has driven theestablishment of new researchprograms around the world. Theproject has also helped developa series of public informationdocuments on EMF issues. TheFDA and the CellularTelecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formalCooperative Research andDevelopment Agreement(CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. The FDAprovides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts ingovernment, industry, andacademic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conductedthrough contracts withindependent investigators. Theinitial research will include bothlaboratory studies and studies ofwireless phone users. TheCRADA will also include a broadassessment of additionalresearch needs in the context ofthe latest research developmentsaround the world.
7. How can I find out howmuch radio frequencyenergy exposure I can get byusing my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the UnitedStates must comply with FederalCommunications Commission(FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures.The FCC established these
87
Safety
guidelines in consultation with theFDA and the other federal healthand safety agencies. The FCClimit for RF exposure from wirelesstelephones is set at a SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC limit is consistent withthe safety standards developed bythe Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineering (IEEE) andthe National Council on RadiationProtection and Measurement. Theexposure limit takes intoconsideration the body’s ability toremove heat from the tissues thatabsorb energy from the wirelessphone and is set well below levelsknown to have effects.Manufacturers of wireless phonesmust report the RF exposure levelfor each model of phone to theFCC. The FCC website(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ rfsafety)gives directions for locating the
FCC identification number onyour phone so you can find yourphone’s RF exposure level in theonline listing.
8. What has the FDA done tomeasure the radiofrequency energy comingfrom wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers (IEEE) isdeveloping a technical standardfor measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposurefrom wireless phones and otherwireless handsets with theparticipation and leadership ofFDA scientists and engineers.The standard, “RecommendedPractice for Determining theSpatial-Peak Specific AbsorptionRate (SAR) in the Human BodyDue to Wireless CommunicationsDevices: ExperimentalTechniques,” sets forth the first
Safety
88
Safety
consistent test methodology formeasuring the rate at which RF isdeposited in the heads ofwireless phone users. The testmethod uses a tissue-simulatingmodel of the human head.Standardized SAR testmethodology is expected togreatly improve the consistencyof measurements made atdifferent laboratories on thesame phone. SAR is themeasurement of the amount ofenergy absorbed in tissue, eitherby the whole body or a smallpart of the body. It is measuredin watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) ofmatter. This measurement is usedto determine whether a wirelessphone complies with safetyguidelines.
9. What steps can I take toreduce my exposure toradio frequency energy frommy wireless phone?
If there is a risk from theseproducts — and at this point wedo not know that there is — it isprobably very small. But if you areconcerned about avoiding evenpotential risks, you can take a fewsimple steps to minimize yourexposure to radio frequencyenergy (RF). Since time is a keyfactor in how much exposure aperson receives, reducing theamount of time spent using awireless phone will reduce RFexposure. If you must conductextended conversations bywireless phone every day, youcould place more distancebetween your body and thesource of the RF, since theexposure level drops off
89
Safety
dramatically with distance. Forexample, you could use a headsetand carry the wireless phone awayfrom your body or use a wirelessphone connected to a remoteantenna. Again, the scientific datado not demonstrate that wirelessphones are harmful. But if you areconcerned about the RF exposurefrom these products, you can usemeasures like those describedabove to reduce your RF exposurefrom wireless phone use.
10. What about children usingwireless phones?
The scientific evidence does notshow a danger to users of wirelessphones, including children andteenagers. If you want to takesteps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), themeasures described above wouldapply to children and teenagersusing wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone use andincreasing the distance betweenthe user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groupssponsored by other nationalgovernments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from usingwireless phones at all. For example,the government in the UnitedKingdom distributed leafletscontaining such arecommendation in December2000. They noted that noevidence exists that using awireless phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wirelessphone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based onscientific evidence that any healthhazard exists.

11. What about wireless phoneinterference with medicalequipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF)from wireless phones can interactwith some electronic devices. Forthis reason, the FDA helpeddevelop a detailed test methodto measure electromagneticinterference (EMI) of implantedcardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators from wirelesstelephones. This test method isnow part of a standardsponsored by the Association forthe Advancement of Medicalinstrumentation (AAMI). Thefinal draft, a joint effort by theFDA, medical devicemanufacturers, and many othergroups, was completed in late2000. This standard will allowmanufacturers to ensure thatcardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe fromwireless phone EMI. The FDA hastested hearing aids forinterference from handheldwireless phones and helpeddevelop a voluntary standardsponsored by the Institute ofElectrical and ElectronicEngineers (IEEE). This standardspecifies test methods andperformance requirements forhearing aids and wireless phonesso that no interference occurswhen a person uses a“compatible” phone and a“compatible” hearing aid at thesame time. This standard wasapproved by the IEEE in 2000.The FDA continues to monitorthe use of wireless phones forpossible interactions with othermedical devices. Should harmfulinterference be found to occur,the FDA will conduct testing toassess the interference and work

to resolve the problem.

Consumer Informationon SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)This Model Phone Meets theGovernment’s Requirements forExposure to Radio Waves. Yourwireless phone is a radiotransmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured notto exceed the emission limits forexposure to radiofrequency (RF)energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission(FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC exposure limits arederived from therecommendations of two expertorganizations, the NationalCounsel on Radiation Protectionand Measurement (NCRP) andthe Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE). Inboth cases, therecommendations were
Safety
92
Safety
developed by scientific andengineering experts drawn fromindustry, government, andacademia after extensive reviewsof the scientific literature relatedto the biological effects of RFenergy. The exposure Limit for wirelessmobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR is a measure of the rateof absorption of RF energy bythe human body expressed inunits of watts per kilogram(W/kg). The FCC requireswireless phones to comply with asafety limit of 1.6 watts perkilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCCexposure limit incorporates asubstantial margin of safety togive additional protection to thepublic and to account for anyvariations in measurements.
Tests for SAR are conductedusing standard operatingpositions specified by the FCCwith the phone transmitting at itshighest certified power level in alltested frequency bands.Although SAR is determined atthe highest certified power level,the actual SAR level of the phonewhile operating can be well belowthe maximum value. Because thephone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels to use onlythe power required to reach thenetwork, in general, the closeryou are to a wireless base stationantenna, the lower the poweroutput. Before a phone model is availablefor sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCCthat it does not exceed the limitestablished by the government-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests are
93
Safety
performed in positions andlocations (e.g., at the ear andworn on the body) as requiredby the FCC for each model. This device was tested for typicalbody-worn operations with theback of the phone kept 0.79inches (2.0 cm) between theuser’s body and the back of thephone. To comply with FCC RFexposure requirements, aminimum separation distance of0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must bemaintained between the user sbody and the back of the phone.Third-party belt-clips, holsters,and similar accessoriescontaining metallic componentsshould not be used. Body-wornaccessories that cannot maintain0.79 inches (2.0 cm) separationdistance between the user'sbody and the back of the phone,and have not been tested fortypical body-worn operations
may not comply with FCC RFexposure limits and should beavoided. The FCC has granted anEquipment Authorization for thismodel phone with all reportedSAR levels evaluated as incompliance with the FCC RFemission guidelines. The highest SAR value for thismodel phone when tested foruse at the ear is 1.19 W/kg andwhen worn on the body, asdescribed in this user’s manual, is0.395 W/kg. While there may bedifferences between SAR levels ofvarious phones and at variouspositions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safeexposure.SAR information on this modelphone is on file with the FCCand can be found under theDisplay Grant section of
