guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international
standards bodies:

For Your Safety

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).

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. Always
obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:

●

Give full attention to driving ­driving safely is your first
responsibility;

●

Use hands-free operation, if
available;

●

Pull off the road and park
before making or answering a
call if driving conditions 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:

●

Should ALWAYS keep the
phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;

For Your Safety

75

Safety Guidelines

●

Should not carry the phone in
a breast pocket.

●

Should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.

●

If you have any reason to
suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone

Safety Guidelines

76

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 AT&T.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are 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. Turn
your phone OFF before boarding
an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a ‘blasting areas or in
areas posted: ‘Turn off two-way
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 in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.

equipment is causing the harmful
interference by turning the
equipment off and then back on
to see if the interference is
affected. If necessary, try
correcting the interference by
one or more of the following
measures:

- Reorient or relocate the

receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between

the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an

outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.

- Consult the dealer or an

experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration Center for Devices
and Radiological Health
Consumer 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 Home
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:

Safety Guidelines

83

Safety Guidelines

●

Support needed research into
possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;

●

Design wireless phones in a
way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is
not necessary for device
function; and

●

Safety Guidelines

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:

84

●

National Institute for
Occupational Safety and
Health

●

Environmental Protection
Agency

●

Occupational Safety and
Health Administration
(Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)

●

Occupational Safety and
Health Administration

●

National Telecommunications
and Information
Administration

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 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

Safety Guidelines

85

Safety Guidelines

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

Safety Guidelines

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 pre­disposed 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

86

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 exposures.
However, none of the studies can
answer questions about long­term 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?

Acombination 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 cancercausing agent and the
time tumors develop - if they do­may 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 radiofrequency
energy (RF). The FDA has been a
leading participant in the World
Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in
1996 . An influential result of this
work has been the development
of a detailed agenda of research
needs that has driven the
establishment of new research
programs around the world. The
project has also helped develop a
series of public information
documents on EMF issues. The
FDA and the Cellular

Safety Guidelines

87

Safety Guidelines

Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA­funded research is conducted
through contracts with

Safety Guidelines

independent investigators. The
initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of
wireless phone users. The CRADA
will also include a broad
assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest
research developments around
the world.

7. How can I find out how much
radio frequency energy
exposure I can get by using
my wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United
States must comply with Federal

88

Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF) exposures.
The FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with the
FDA and the other federal health
and safety agencies. The FCC
limit for RF exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent with
the safety standards developed by
the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The
exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to
remove heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the wireless
phone and is set well below levels
known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure level
for each model of phone to the
FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)

gives directions for locating the
FCC identification number on
your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the
online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to
measure the radio frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?

The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard
for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from
wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the
participation and leadership of
FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, ‘Recommended Practice
for Determining the Spatial- Peak
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,’ sets
forth the first consistent test
methodology for measuring the
rate at which RF is deposited in
the heads of wireless phone

users. The test method uses a
tissuesimulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR
test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency
of measurements made at
different laboratories on the same
phone. SAR is the measurement
of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the
whole body or a small part of the
body. It is measured in watts/kg
(or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety
guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from
my wireless phone?

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 you are
concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few

Safety Guidelines

89

Safety Guidelines

simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key
factor in how much exposure a
person receives, reducing the
amount of time spent using a
wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure. If you must conduct
extended conversations by
wireless phone every day, you
could place more distance

Safety Guidelines

between your body and the
source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless
phone connected to a remote
antenna. Again, the scientific data
do not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure
from these products, you can use
measures like those described
above to reduce your RF exposure

90

from wireless phone use.

10. What about children using
wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not
show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower
exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to
children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing the
time of wireless phone use and
increasing the distance between
the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure. Some 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 distributed
leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December

2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a
wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based
on scientific evidence that any
health hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF)
from wireless phones can interact
with some electronic devices. For
this reason, the FDA helped
develop a detailed test method to
measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is
now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association for
the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final

draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers,
and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers
to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are
safe from wireless phone EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids
for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped
develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and
performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs
when a person uses a
‘compatible’ phone and a
‘compatible’ hearing aid at the
same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor
the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other

Safety Guidelines

91

Safety Guidelines

medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur,
the FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work
to resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate
by voice almost anywhere,
anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind
the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember
the following tips:

1.

Get to know your wireless
phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. Carefully
read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones
offer, including automatic

redial and memory. Also, work
to memorize the phone
keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without
taking your attention off the
road.

2.

When available, use a hands­free device. A number of
hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily
available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these
devices if available to you.

3.

Position your wireless phone
within easy reach. Make sure
you place your wireless phone
within easy reach and where
you can reach it without
removing your eyes from the
road. If you get an incoming
call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.

4.

Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions
or situations. Let the person
you are speaking with know
you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow
and ice can be hazardous, but
so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to
pay attention to the road.

5.

Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an Address
Book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while
driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going.
It is common sense. Don’t get
caught in a dangerous
situation because you are
reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or
nearby vehicles.

6.

Dial sensibly and assess the

Safety Guidelines

93

Safety Guidelines

Safety Guidelines

94

traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you
begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times
you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to
dial while driving, follow this
simple tip— dial only a few
numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.

7.

Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel
of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are
driving and if necessary,
suspend conversations which
have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.

8.

Use your wireless phone to
call for help. Your wireless
phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect
yourself and your family in
dangerous situations — with
your phone at your side, help
is only three numbers away.
Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case
of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard or medical emergency.
Remember, it is a free call on
your wireless phone!

9.

Use your wireless phone to
help others in emergencies.
Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to
be a “Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or
other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call
911 or other local emergency
number, as you would want
others to do for you.

10 .

Call roadside assistance or a
special wireless non­emergency assistance number
when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter
while driving may require
attention, but are not urgent
enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you
can still use your wireless
phone to lend a hand. If you
see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a
broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one
appears injured or a vehicle.
You know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency
wireless number. For more
information, please call to
888-901-SAFE, or visit our

Consumer Information on
SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate)

This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general
population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were
developed by independent
scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial

Safety Guidelines

95

Safety Guidelines

safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health. The
exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6W/kg.

* Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating

Safety Guidelines

positions specified by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although
SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the
maximum value. Because the
phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels to use only
the power required to reach the
network, in general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power
output.

96

Before a phone model is available
for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government­adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The
highest SAR value for LG Arena
phone when tested for use at the
ear is 0.84 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 0.50 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ
among phones models,
depending upon available
accessories and FCC
requirements.) While there may
be differences between SAR levels
of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe
exposure.

The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this

model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone
is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID BEJVN270. Additional
information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org

* In the United States and
Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to
account for any variations in
measurements.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
(HAC) with Mobile Phones

When some mobile phones are
used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear
implants),users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are
more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones
also vary in the amount of
interference they generate. The
wireless telephone industry has
developed ratings for some of
their mobile phones, to assist
hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all
phones have been rated. Phones
that are rated have the rating on
their box or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees.
Results will vary depending on
the user’s hearing device and
hearing loss. If your hearing
device happens to be vulnerable

Safety Guidelines

97

Safety Guidelines

to interference, you may not be
able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone
with your hearing device is the
best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.

M-Ratings:

M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled.

Safety Guidelines

M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.

T-Ratings:

T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with
a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”)
than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices
have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be
measured for immunity to this
type of interference. Your hearing

Phones rated M3 or

Phones rated T3 or

98

device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you
find results for your hearing
device. The more immune your
hearing aid is, the less likely you
are to experience interference
noise from mobile phones.

To ensure that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility rating for your
phone is maintained, secondary
transmitters such as Bluetooth
and WLAN components must be
disabled during a call.
