How wireless works
Your wireless service is different from your home or business phone service. On a wireless device, you must press the TALK button to alert the network to connect your call. Unlike the calls you make on a home or business phone, wireless communications travel over the air and can react to the environment. Rain, snow, fog, falling leaves, water, mountains, canyons and even buildings may affect service. All wireless service is subject to “dead zones,” or no-coverage areas.
Verizon Wireless network technology
Verizon Wireless offers CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) digital network technology to most of its customers. CDMA digital technology offers many benefits compared to analog, such as less static, enhanced voice clarity, increased privacy and longer battery life. A CDMA digital phone is necessary to subscribe to our digital service. Verizon Wireless only sells digital wireless devices that are E911 compatible and either all-digital or tri-mode, which means you may use analog or CDMA digital services on different frequencies.
Worry Free Guarantee®
Subject to the Customer Agreement and Calling Plan. Please read and understand them before activating. Verizon Wireless calling areas, rates, coverage, agreements, provisions, business practices, procedures and policies are subject to change as specified in the Customer Agreement.

If you enrolled in the program prior to 2/05/06 and continued to meet the requirements of the program, you will be eligible for a free wireless device up to $100, or a credit of up to $100 toward a more expensive wireless device, when you become eligible for your next New Every Two upgrade (after which time you will be enrolled in the $50/$100 New Every Two program described in the brochure). New Every Two discount amounts and Calling Plan tiers subject to change at Verizon Wireless’ sole discretion.
Security Deposit
You may have been asked to leave a security deposit at the time you activated your wireless service. You are eligible to receive your security deposit back at the end of 1 year of uninterrupted service, or upon termination of your contract. You will automatically be refunded your deposit after 1 year, including interest, provided that you have kept your account in “good standing” (this means that you paid your bill continuously
40
for 1 year in a timely manner). This refund may take up to 3 billing cycles to be processed. Should you be disconnected at any time during the first
year for lack of payment, you forfeit any interest accrued during that time frame. If you terminate your service, but have not paid your final bill, the deposit will be applied to your account, and you will receive any remaining funds. If your service is terminated after the initial 15-dayWorry Free Guarantee period but before the end of your minimum term, your deposit will be applied against the $175 early termination fee in addition to any outstanding balance before a check is processed.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations
The FCC requires that wireless devices be operated in accordance with FCC rules and regulations and under supervision of the licensee. Severe punishment can result from failure to comply with the following regulations:
No person shall knowingly utter or transmit any false or fraudulent signal
or distress communication.
No person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with, or cause
interference to, any radio communication or signal.
It is unlawful to “listen in” on conversations intended for others or to
divulge any information thereby obtained.
No person shall utter any obscene, indecent or profane language by
means of radio communication.
National Do Not Call Registry

Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless devices.
Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency (RF) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The FDA and the FCC have created a joint website, “Cell Phone Facts — Consumer Information on Wireless Phones,” which states that “[t]he available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones,” while noting that “[t]here is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.” You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://ww w.fda.gov/cellphones. You can also contact the FDA toll-free at 1-888-463-6332 or 1-888-INFO-
pg
FDA.
42
In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development agreement through which additional scientific research will be conducted. The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “[t]here is no scientific evidence to date that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/
consumerfacts/mobilephone.html or through the FCC at 1-888-225­5322 or at 1-888-CALL-FCC.
What does Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.
One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the wireless device transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the wireless device to the body while in use and the use of hands-free devices.

For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/ Documents/bulletins, http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid, or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/wireless_consumers/health_and_safety. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless device.
MORE INFORMATION
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that “[h]ands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is a source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.”
Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a wireless device with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your wireless device.
pg
44
Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?
The FDA and FCC joint website states that “[t]he scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children.” The FDA/FCC website further states that “[s]ome groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom [“UK”] distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December
2000. [The UK] noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone
causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.”
A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “Mobile”), or you can write to NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, United Kingdom. Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless device use.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and
MORE INFORMATION
pg
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume
at which you can hear adequately.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear
the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less
46
time is required before your hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such
as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device. Persons who have such devices:
MORE INFORMATION
pg
Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON;
Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference;
Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place; and
Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your health care provider.
For additional information, see www.fcc.gov/cellphones/.
Drive responsibly
If you choose to talk while driving, always use a hands-free device. Make sure your hands-free device is on and working before driving.
Do not dial or look up phone numbers when driving. Use the voice- activated feature on your wireless device.
Using a wireless device while driving may increase your risk of distraction, whether or not you use a hands-free device. To eliminate this
48
risk, consider turning your wireless device off and allowing calls to go to Voice Mail.
