Safety Information
The following is the complete Safety Information for wireless
handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Those
standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Safety and Warranty

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in
use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones
in the areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if
using your phone while driving, please observe the following:
z Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first
responsibility;
z Use hands-free operation, if available;
z Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law so require.

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
z Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
z Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
z Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
z Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off twoway radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling
areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If invehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.

Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low
levels of RF when in the Main Menu Screen. 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. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies
have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some

cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiationemitting consumer products such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level
that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of
the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones so
that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
z Support needed research into possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
z Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function;
and
z Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone
use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF
safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The
following agencies belong to this working group:
z National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All
phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC
safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the
FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless
phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at
higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF
exposures that people get from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless
phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or
“PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the
user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the
short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at
greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is

Safety and Warranty
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power
levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC
safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done
already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results,
and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of
the studies that showed increased tumor development used
animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with
cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop
cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed
the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions
are not similar to the conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the
results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since
December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any
possible association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or
other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence
of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF

Safety and Warranty
exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions
about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone
use in these studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF
exposure from wireless phones poses a health
risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies
of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of
the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies
could be completed in a few years. However, very large
numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of
a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies
can provide data that is directly applicable to human
populations, but 10 or more years follow-up may be needed to
provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a
cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop – if they do
– may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.
Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at
which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program
and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that
high priority animal studies are conducted to address important
questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF). The FDA has been a leading participant in the
