Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Some menus/features are operator dependent.
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone has been one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. Your phone can help you to stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency services and others.

Safety

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone 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 Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wire­less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both US and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
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).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Radia­tion Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non­Ionizing Radiation Protection.
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:
Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).
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 telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 1
Some menus/features are operator dependent.
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsi-
bility.
Use handsfree operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you are using your phone while driving:
Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Suspend conversations during hazardous driv-
ing conditions or situations.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting.
Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assis-
tance number when necessary.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against 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:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
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).
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.
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 be using 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 two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
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 clearly marked. They 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 both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious bodily injury could result.

Product Care and Operation

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undes­ired operation.
Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for safe care and operation of your phone:
Do not allow children to play with your phone. They could hurt
themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone. Your phone may contain small parts that could be detached and create a choking hazard.
Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or extreme temper-
atures.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3

FDA Consumer Update

FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones.
The following summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This informa­tion may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiof­requency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). How­ever, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mech­anism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well.
Although some research has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demon­strate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user’s head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone’s antenna--the primary source of the RF--and the person’s head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called cordless phones, which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been ques­tioned.
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evi­dence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal stud-

ies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncer­tainty among scientists about whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continu­ously--up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone indus­try has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit addi­tional study:
1 In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an
association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no associ­ation between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an association was found between mobile phone use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how
often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased expo­sure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.

2 Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess
the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lym­phocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after expo­sure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sensi­tive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up research is necessary.

FDA is currently working with government, industry, and aca­demic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry­funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular Tele­communications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the liter­ature:

There were no changes in the subjects ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change noted among more than 20 variables com-

2 In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls,
there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be sta­tistically significant.

In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
What is known about cases of human cancer that have been reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would
be expected each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any individual’s cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is called a case-control study.
The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National Can­cer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile 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 at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has recom­mended that the industry:
support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by mobile phones;
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 7
Some menus/features are operator dependent.
design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function; and
cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible
information on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Health and Safety Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information about any pos­sible risk, what can concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if people are con­cerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could switch to:
a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehi-
cle,
a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a differ-
ent antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built into a sep­arate package, or
a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the
waist.
Again, the scientific data do not harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.

Note! For detailed information on safely handling your LiIon battery, see
Battery Information on page 4.
Your phone comes with a LiIon battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough power to switch the phone on. You should fully charge the battery before use. It is safe to make and receive calls while your phone is charging. You should not need to remove your battery after it is installed. Your bat­tery can be charged whenever you wish without affecting its perfor­mance. You can also charge the battery when the phone is off.
The battery meter icon on your standby screen indicates how much remaining strength your battery has.
Tip! If you have an Ericsson-approved battery, you can check the remain-
ing talk and standby times in the S ume keys when in standby mode. The total remaining standby and talk time depends on the type of battery you use and your position in the network. Please note that these times are approximate and you may have 20% less time than is shown in the display.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power it
