    Cautions

    In August 1996 the Federal Communicationsommission (FCC) of the United States with itsction in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an

    updated safety standard for human exposure toradio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted

    by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines areonsistent with the safety standard previously set

    by both U.S. and international standards bodies.The design of this phone complies with the FCC

    uidelines and these international standards.

    Body-Worn operation

    This device was tested for typical body-wornperations with the back of the phone kept 2.2m. from the body with a beltclip that contains

    metallic components. To maintain compliance withFCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips,holsters or similar accessories with which this

    evice was tested.

    The use of accessories that do not satisfy theserequirements may not comply with FCC RFxposure requirements, and should be avoided.

    For more information about RF exposure, pleasevisit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

    T is mo e p one meets t e government srequirements or exposure to ra iowaves.

    Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured notto exceed the emission limits for exposure toradiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission of the U.S.Government. These limits are part of comprehen-sive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF

    energy for the general population. The guidelinesare based on standards that were developed byindependent scientific organizations through peri-odic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.

    The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limitset by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are con-ducted with the phone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR level of thephone while operating can be well below the max-imum value. This is because the phone is designedto operate at multiple power levels so as to useonly the power required to reach the network. Ingeneral, the closer you are to a wireless base sta-tion antenna, the lower the power output. Beforea phone model is available for sale to the public, it

    the FCC for each model.

    The highest SAR value for this model phonewhen tested for use at the ear is 1.37 W/kg PCS

    DMA Head SAR and when worn on the body,s described in this user guide, is 0.422 W/kg PCSDMA Body SAR. (Body-worn measurements differ

    mong phone models, depending upon availableccessories and FCC requirements).

    While there may be differences between the SARlevels of various phones and at various positions,they all meet the government requirement for safexposure.

    The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorizationfor this model phone with all reported SAR levelsvaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF expo-ure guidelines. SAR information on this model

    Information on Wireless Phones

    1. What kinds of phones are the subject of thisupdate?

    The term wireless phone refers here to handheldwireless phones with built-in antennas, oftencalled cell, mobile, or PCS phones. Thesetypes of wireless phones can expose the user tomeasurable radiofrequency energy (RF) becauseof the short distance between the phone andthe users head. These RF exposures are limitedby Federal Communications Commission safetyguidelines that were developed with the advice ofFDA and other federal health and safety agencies.When the phone is located at greater distancesfrom the user, the exposure to RF is drasticallylower because a persons RF exposure decreasesrapidly with increasing distance from the source.The so-called cordless phones, which have a baseunit connected to the telephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lower power levels, andthus produce RF exposures well within the FCCscompliance limits.

    2. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

    The available scientific evidence does not show

    that any health problems are associated withusing wireless phones. There is no proof, however,that wireless phones are absolutely safe Wireless

    58 Appendix Appendix 59

    that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wirelessphones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used.They also emit very low levels of RF when in thetandby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can pro-uce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to

    low level RF that does not produce heating effectsauses no known adverse health effects. Manytudies of low level RF exposures have not found

    ny biological effects. Some studies have suggest-d that some biological effects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmed by additionalresearch. In some cases, other researchers have had

    ifficulty in reproducing those studies, or in deter-mining the reasons for inconsistent results.

    3. What is FDAs role concerning the safety ofwireless phones?

    Under the law, FDA does not review the safety ofradiation-emitting consumer products such as wire-less phones before they can be sold, as it does withnew drugs or medical devices. However, the agen-y has authority to take action if wireless phones

    re shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at alevel that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,FDA could require the manufacturers of wirelessphones to notify users of the health hazard andto repair, replace or recall the phones so that thehazard no longer exists.

    Although the existing scientific data do not justifyFDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless

    Support needed research into possible biologi-cal effects of RF of the type emitted by wirelessphones;

    Design wireless phones in a way that minimizesany RF exposure to the user that is not neces-sary for device function; and

    Cooperate in providing users of wireless phoneswith the best possible information on possibleeffects of wireless phone use on human healthFDA belongs to an interagency working groupof the federal agencies that have responsibil-ity for different aspects of RF safety to ensurecoordinated efforts at the federal level. The fol-lowing agencies belong to this working group:

    National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth

    Environmental Protection Agency

    Federal Communications Commission

    Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration

    National Telecommunications and

    Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates insome interagency working group activities, as well.

    FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wire-less phones with the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC).

    All phones that are sold in the United States must

    FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies forafety questions about wireless phones.

    FCC also regulates the base stations that the wire-less phone networks rely upon. While these basetations operate at higher power than do the

    wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures thatpeople get from these base stations are typicallythousands of times lower than those they can getfrom wireless phones. Base stations are thus not

    the primary subject of the safety questions dis-ussed in this document.

    4. What are the results of the research donealready?

    The research done thus far has produced conflict-ing results, and many studies have suffered fromflaws in their research methods. Animal experi-ments investigating the effects of radiofrequencynergy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless

    phones have yielded conflicting results that oftenannot be repeated in other laboratories. A fewnimal studies, however, have suggested that low

    levels of RF could accelerate the development of

    ancer in laboratory animal.

    5. What research is needed to decide whether RFexposure from wireless phones poses a healthrisk?

    A combination of laboratory studies and epide-miological studies of people actually using wirelessphones would provide some of the data that are

    However, very large numbers of animals wouldbe needed to provide reliable proof of a cancerpromoting effect if one exists. Epidemiologicalstudies can provide data that is directly applicableto human populations, but 10 or more years fol-low-up may be needed to provide answers aboutsome health effects, such as cancer. This is becausethe interval between the time of exposure to acancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop

    - if they do - may be many, many years. The inter-pretation of epidemiological studies is hamperedby difficulties in measuring actual RF exposureduring day-to-day use of wireless phones. Manyfactors affect this measurement, such as the angleat which the phone is held, or which model ofphone is used.

    6. What is FDA doing to find out more about thepossible health effects of wireless phone RF?

    FDA is working with the U.S. National ToxicologyProgram and with groups of investigators aroundthe world to ensure that high priority animal stud-ies are conducted to address important questions

    about the effects of exposure to radiofrequencyenergy (RF).

    FDA has been a leading participant in the WorldHealth Organization International ElectromagneticFields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. Aninfluential result of this work has been the devel-opment of a detailed agenda of research needsthat has driven the establishment of new research

    programs around the world. The Project has alsohelped develop a series of public information

    ocuments on EMF issues.

    60 Appendix Appendix 61

    ocuments on EMF issues.

    FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications& Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal

    ooperative Research and DevelopmentAgreement (CRADA) to do research on wirelessphone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,

    btaining input from experts in government,industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts

    to independent investigators. The initial researchwill include both laboratory studies and studies ofwireless phone users. The CRADA will also include

    broad assessment of additional research needsin the context of the latest research developmentsround the world.

    7. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure toradiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?

    If there is a risk from these products--and at thispoint we do not know that there is--it is probablyvery small.

    But if you are concerned about avoiding evenpotential risks, you can take a few simple steps

    to minimize your exposure to radiofrequencynergy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how muchxposure a person receives,reducing the amountf time spent using a wireless phone will reduce

    RF exposure.

    If you must conduct extended conversations bywireless phone every day, you could place more

    matically with distance. For example, you coulduse a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phoneconnected to a remote antenna.

    Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful. But if you are con-cerned about the RF exposure from these products,you can use measures like those described aboveto reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone

    8. What about children using wireless phones?

    The scientific evidence does not show a dangerto users of wireless phones, including childrenand teenagers. If you want to take steps to lowerexposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), themeasures described above would apply to childrenand teenagers using wireless phones. Reducingthe time of wireless phone use and increasing thedistance between the user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure.

    Some groups sponsored by other national govern-ments have advised that children be discouraged

    from using wireless phones at all. For example,the government in the United Kingdom distrib-uted leaflets containing such a recommendationin December 2000. They noted that no evidenceexists that using a wireless phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Their recommendationto limit wireless phone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based on scientific evi-

    risks from exposure to RF emissions?

    Since there are no known risks from exposure toRF emissions from wireless phones, there is noreason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks.Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phonesfor convenience and comfort. These systems reducethe absorption of RF energy in the head be believethat accessories that claim to shield the head from

    those emissions reduce risks. Some products thatlaim to shield the user from RF absorption usepecial phone cases, while others involve nothing

    more than a metallic accessory attached to thephone. Studies have shown that these products

    enerally do not work as advertised
