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 Use1
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 Use3
Some menus/features are operator dependent.
• Only Ericsson original accessories are recommended. Failure to
use them may result in loss of performance or product damage,
and will void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void

components. Service should only be performed by Authorized Service Centers.
• Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on products.
• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated power sources as
marked on the product.
• To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord from the out-
let by pulling the AC adapter at the outlet rather than the cord.
• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from the power
source before attempting any cleaning. Once unplugged, use a soft
cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning.
• DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the plug will not
fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in risk of electric shock.
• Don’t twist the antenna. Excess twisting will damage the antenna.

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-
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use5
Some menus/features are operator dependent.
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.
1
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.
2
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:
6Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Some menus/features are operator dependent.
1 Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone
signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests. 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-

pared.
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.
4
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 Use7
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
satisfactorily.
