Safety

TIA(Telecommunications Industry Association) Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA 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:
Ź
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
Ź
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
Ź
ICNIRP (1996)
Ź
Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.
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, IC Regulations (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised 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.
5
Safety
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:
Ź
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;
Ź
Use hands-free operation.
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.
6
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
Ź
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
Ź
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Ź
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference;
Ź
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 and Transport Canada 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.
7
Safety
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.
8
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.
Charger and Adapter Safety
Ź
The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.
Ź
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.
Battery Information and Care
Ź
Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your local wireless carrier for recycling.
Ź
Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
Ź
Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or battery and could cause the battery to explode.
Ź
The battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging.
Ź

Ź
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.
9
Safety
Ź
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
Ź
Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.
Ź
Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power plug pin when it is dirty.
Ź
Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Ź
When using the power plug, ensure that it is firmly connected. If it is not, it may cause excessive heat or fire.
Ź
Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause fire or electric shock.
Ź
Do not disassemble the phone.
10
Ź
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
Ź
If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.
Ź
Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip or pen in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuiting of the terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.
Ź
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

11
Safety
Warning! Important Safety Information
Avoiding hearing damage
Ź
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your phone and/or headset at a high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
Ź
Limit the amount of time you use your phone and/or headset at high volume.
Ź
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
12
Ź
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on your phone, see the features guide for your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving.
Stop using your phone if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 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 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 does not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
Ź
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones.
Ź
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and 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
13
Safety
safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
Ź
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
Ź
Environmental Protection Agency.
Ź
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Ź
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 the wireless phones themselves do, the RF exposures that people get from these
14
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 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 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 is needed. Lifetime animal
15
Safety
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
16
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 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 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. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts with 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 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.
17
Safety
The test method uses a tissue-simulating 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 radio frequency 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 simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency 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
18
you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance 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 does 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 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 radio frequency 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 medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

12. Where can I find additional information?
For additional information, please refer to the following resources: FDA web page on wireless phones (http://www.fda.gov/) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program (http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/rfsafety) International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (http:// www.icnirp.de) World Health Organization (WHO) International EMF Project (http://www. who.int/peh-emf/en/) National Radiological Protection Board (UK) (http://www.hpa.org. uk/radiation/)
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 of the U.S. Government. These
20
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 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/IC is
1.6 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating 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.
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 government-adopted 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 this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.77 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.58 W/ kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC 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/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: ZNFLG440G 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.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio
Frequency Exposure Guidelines.

Safety
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept
1.5 cm (0.59 inches) between the user’s
body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm (0.59 inches) must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used.

Informations de sécurité de la TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association)
La section qui suit présente les consignes de sécurité de laTIA au sujet des téléphones sans fil portatifs.
Exposition aux signaux de radiofréquence
Votre téléphone sans fil portatif est un émetteur-récepteur radio de faible puissance. Lorsqu'il est SOUS TENSION, il reçoit et émet des signauxRF (radiofréquence). En août 1996, la Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) a adopté, en matière d'exposition aux radiofréquences, des lignes directrices établissant des niveaux de sécurité pour les téléphones sans fil portatifs. Ces directives s'inscrivent dans la foulée de la norme de sécurité établie auparavant par les organismes de normalisation des États-Unis et des autres pays:
Ź
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
Ź
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
Ź
ICNIRP (1996)
Ź
Santé Canada, Code de sécurité 6, 1999.
Ces normes sont fondées sur des évaluations périodiques complètes de documents scientifiques pertinents. Ainsi, plus de 120 scientifiques, ingénieurs et médecins d'universités, d'organismes de santé gouvernementaux et de divers secteurs industriels ont passé en revue les recherches disponibles pour créer la norme ANSI (C95.1). La conception de votre téléphone est conforme aux directives de laFCC et aux règlementsd'IC (ainsi qu'à ces normes).
Entretien de l'antenne
N'utilisez que l'antenne fournie ou une antenne de rechange approuvée.
L'utilisation d'antennes ou d'accessoires non approuvés ainsi que les modifications non autorisées peuvent endommager l'appareil et contrevenir aux règlements de laFCC.
5
Sécurité
Utilisation de l'appareil
POSITION NORMALE: Tenez le téléphone cellulaire comme n'importe quel autre téléphone, en veillant à ce que l'antenne pointe vers le haut et par-dessus votre épaule.
Conseils pour un fonctionnement efficace
Pour que votre téléphone fonctionne le plus efficacement possible: Ne touchez pas l'antenne inutilement lorsque vous utilisez l'appareil. Tout contact avec l'antenne peut affecter la qualité des appels et entraîner un fonctionnement de l'appareil à un niveau de puissance plus élevé que nécessaire.
Conduite automobile
Vérifiez les lois et la réglementation en vigueur aux endroits où vous utilisez votre téléphone sans fil en voiture, et respectez-les en tout temps. Par ailleurs, si vous utilisez votre téléphone lorsque vous conduisez, veuillez suivre les règles ci-dessous:
6
Ź
Accordez toute votre attention à la conduite de votre véhicule; votre responsabilité principale est la prudence au volant.
Ź
Utilisez le mode mains libres.
Appareils électroniques
La plupart des appareils électroniques modernes sont blindés contre les signaux RF. Cependant, il arrive que certains appareils électroniques ne soient pas protégés contre les signaux RF émis par votre téléphone.
Stimulateurs cardiaques
La Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommande une distance de 15cm (6po) entre un téléphone sans fil portatif et un stimulateur cardiaque pour éviter les interférences potentielles. Ces recommandations sont conformes aux recherches indépendantes et aux recommandations des travaux de recherche sur les technologies sans fil.
Les personnes portant un stimulateur cardiaque
Ź
doivent TOUJOURS tenir le téléphone à une distance d'au moins 15 cm de leur stimulateur cardiaque lorsque le téléphone est SOUS TENSION;
Ź
ne doivent pas transporter leur téléphone dans une poche poitrine;
Ź
doivent utiliser l'oreille située de l'autre côté de leur stimulateur cardiaque afin de minimiser les risques d'interférences;
Ź
doivent, si elles ont quelque motif que ce soit de soupçonner la présence d'interférences, ÉTEINDRE leur téléphone sur-le-champ.
Prothèses auditives
Certains téléphones numériques sans fil créent des interférences avec certaines prothèses auditives. Dans un tel cas, vous pouvez consulter votre fournisseur de services ou appeler le service à la clientèle pour trouver des solutions de rechange. Facultatif pour chaque fabricant de téléphones.
Autres appareils médicaux
Si vous utilisez tout autre appareil médical, consultez son fabricant pour savoir si l'appareil en question est convenablement blindé contre l'énergie des radiofréquences externes. Votre médecin pourra également vous aider à obtenir ce renseignement.
Établissements de soins de santé
Éteignez toujours votre téléphone dans les établissements de soins de santé lorsque les règlements affichés vous invitent à le faire. Les hôpitaux et autres établissements de soins de santé utilisent parfois des appareils sensibles à l'énergie des radiofréquences externes.
Véhicules
Dans les véhicules, les signaux RF peuvent affecter les systèmes électroniques mal installés ou insuffisamment blindés. Vérifiez ce qu'il en est auprès du fabricant ou du représentant. Vous devez également consulter le fabricant de tout matériel ajouté à votre véhicule.
7
Sécurité
Avis affichés
Éteignez votre appareil dans les établissements où des avis vous invitent à le faire.
Avion
La réglementation de Transport Canada et de laFCC interdit l'utilisation des téléphones cellulaires à bord des avions. Mettez votre appareil HORS TENSION avant de monter à bord d'un avion.
Zones de dynamitage
Pour éviter de créer des interférences lors d'opérations de dynamitage, ÉTEIGNEZ votre téléphone lorsque vous vous trouvez dans une zone de dynamitage ou dans toute zone où on vous invite à «éteindre les radios bidirectionnelles». Obéissez à toutes les consignes et à toutes les directives affichées.
8
Zone avec risque de déflagration
ÉTEIGNEZ votre téléphone dans les zones où il y a risque de déflagration; obéissez à toutes les consignes et à toutes les directives affichées. Dans de telles zones, une étincelle peut provoquer une explosion ou un incendie entraînant des blessures, voire la mort.
Ces zones sont habituellement, mais pas toujours, clairement identifiées. Parmi celles­ci on notera les postes de ravitaillement (stations-service, par exemple), les cales de bateaux, les installations de transfert ou de stockage de combustible ou de produits chimiques, les véhicules utilisant des gaz de pétrole liquéfié (comme le propane ou le butane), les zones où des produits chimiques ou des particules (poussières de grain ou autre, poudres métalliques) sont présents dans l'atmosphère ainsi que toute autre zone où vous devriez normalement arrêter le moteur de votre véhicule.
Véhicules dotés de coussins gonflables
Lorsqu'ils se gonflent, les coussins gonflables produisent un fort impact. NE PLACEZ PAS d'objets, y compris les appareils sans fil installés ou portatifs, au-dessus d'un compartiment de coussin gonflable ni dans la zone de déploiement du coussin. Le gonflement de tels coussins dans un véhicule où un appareil sans fil est mal installé peut entraîner des blessures graves.
Sécurité pour l'adaptateur et le chargeur
Ź
Le chargeur et l'adaptateur sont conçus pour être utilisés à l'intérieur seulement.
Ź
N'exposez pas l'adaptateur ni le chargeur à la lumière directe du soleil et ne l'utilisez pas dans les endroits très humides comme les salles de bain.
Information sur la batterie et soins de la batterie
Ź
Veuillez jeter la batterie de façon appropriée ou rapportez-la à votre fournisseur de services sans fil pour qu'il la recycle.
Ź
Ne jetez pas la batterie au feu ni avec des matières dangereuses ou inflammables.
Ź
N'utilisez jamais une batterie non approuvée; cela pourrait endommager le téléphone et faire exploser la batterie.
Ź
Il n'est pas nécessaire que la batterie soit complètement déchargée avant de la recharger.

Ź
Ne démontez pas la batterie et ne la court-circuitez pas.
Ź
Veillez à ce que les contacts de métal demeurent propres.
9
Sécurité
Ź
Lorsque la batterie n'offre plus un rendement acceptable, remplacez-la. La batterie peut être rechargée plusieurs centaines de fois avant d'être remplacée.
Ź
Pour maximiser la vie de la batterie, rechargez-la après une longue période d'inactivité.
Ź
La durée de vie de la batterie varie selon les habitudes d'utilisation et les conditions environnementales.
Ź
Une utilisation intensive du rétroéclairage, du mini-navigateur et de la trousse de connexion pour transmission de données diminue la durée de vie de la batterie et du temps d'attente et de conversation.
Consignes de sécurité
Veuillez lire et suivre les directives suivantes afin d'utiliser votre appareil de façon sûre et d'éviter de l'endommager. Après avoir lu ce guide, conservez-le à portée de main.

Avertissement! Consignes de sécurité importantes
Prévention par rapport à la diminution de l'acuité auditive
Ź
Vous pouvez perdre définitivement l'ouïe si vous utilisez un téléphone ou un casque à un volume élevé. Réglez le volume à un niveau raisonnable. Avec le temps, vous vous habituez à un volume sonore qui vous paraît normal, mais qui peut entraîner une diminution de l'acuité auditive. Si vous entendez des sifflements dans l'oreille ou que les paroles de vos interlocuteurs vous semblent étouffées, arrêtez d'utiliser votre téléphone et votre casque et consultez un médecin. Plus le volume est élevé, moins il faut de temps pour que votre acuité auditive diminue. Voici quelques conseils des spécialistes auditifs pour vous aider à vous protéger:
Ź
Limitez le temps passé à utiliser votre téléphone ou votre casque d'écoute à un volume élevé.
13
Sécurité
Ź
Évitez d'augmenter le volume pour couvrir le bruit ambiant.
Ź
Baissez le volume si vous n'entendez pas les personnes qui parlent à côté de vous. Pour de l'information sur le réglage de la limite maximum du volume de votre téléphone, reportez-vous au guide des fonctions de ce dernier.
Utilisation du téléphone en toute sécurité
Il est déconseillé, et illégal dans certaines régions, d'utiliser le téléphone au volant d'un véhicule en mouvement. Soyez prudent et vigilant lorsque vous conduisez.
N'utilisez pas votre téléphone si vous voyez qu'il vous dérange ou vous distrait lorsque vous êtes au volant de n'importe quel type de véhicule ou lorsque vous exercez toute autre activité qui requiert votre plus grande attention.

Informations de la FDA à l'intention des consommateurs
Renseignements sur les téléphones cellulaires émanant du Center for Devices and Radiological Health de la U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
1. Les téléphones sans fil sont-ils dangereux pour la santé?
Les preuves scientifiques actuelles ne démontrent pas de risques pour la santé associés à l'usage des téléphones sans fil. Toutefois, il n'existe aucune preuve que ces appareils soient absolument sûrs. Les téléphones sans fil, lorsqu'on les utilise, émettent de faibles niveaux d'énergie de radiofréquences (RF) dans la plage des micro-ondes. En outre, ils émettent de très faibles quantités de radiofréquences en mode d'écran du menu principal. Bien que l'exposition à des niveaux élevés de radiofréquences puisse affecter la santé (en raison du réchauffement des tissus), l'exposition à de faibles niveaux de radiofréquences ne produisant aucun réchauffement n'entraîne aucun effet
indésirable connu sur la santé. De nombreuses études portant sur l'exposition à de faibles niveaux de radiofréquences n'ont relevé aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont suggéré qu'il est possible que certains effets biologiques se produisent, mais ces conclusions n'ont pas été confirmées par d'autres recherches. Dans certains cas, d'autres chercheurs ont eu du mal à reproduire ces études ou à identifier les causes à l'origine de l'incohérence des résultats.
2. Quel rôle joue la FDA en ce qui concerne l'innocuité des téléphones sans fil?
Selon la loi, contrairement à ce qu'elle fait pour les nouveaux médicaments et appareils médicaux, laFDA ne vérifie pas si les produits de consommation émettant des radiations (dont les téléphones sans fil) sont sûrs avant qu'ils puissent être vendus. La FDA peut toutefois prendre les mesures nécessaires s'il est démontré que des téléphones sans fil émettent de l'énergie de radiofréquences (RF) à un niveau dangereux
pour l'utilisateur. Dans un tel cas, la FDA peut exiger du fabricant qu'il signale aux utilisateurs ces risques pour la santé et qu'il répare, remplace ou rappelle les téléphones en question de façon à éliminer ces risques.
Bien que les données scientifiques actuelles ne justifient aucune initiative de réglementation de la part de la FDA, cette dernière a toutefois vivement conseillé au secteur de la téléphonie sans fil de prendre certaines mesures, dont les suivantes:
Ź
Soutenir les recherches portant sur les effets biologiques potentiels du type de radiofréquences émises par les téléphones sans fil;
Ź
Concevoir des téléphones sans fil pouvant minimiser l'exposition de l'utilisateur aux radiofréquences non nécessaires au fonctionnement de l'appareil; et fournir aux utilisateurs de téléphones sans fil la meilleure information possible relative aux effets potentiels de ces appareils sur la santé.
La FDA fait partie d'un groupe de travail interorganismes au niveau fédéral dont les
15
Sécurité
responsabilités couvrent divers aspects de la sécurité relative aux radiofréquences et qui assure la coordination des efforts au niveau fédéral. Les organismes suivants font également partie de ce groupe de travail:
Ź
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
Ź
Environmental Protection Agency.
Ź
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Ź
National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Le National Institutes of Health participe également à certaines des activités du groupe. La FDA partage ses responsabilités en matière de réglementation des téléphones sans fil avec la Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Tous les téléphones vendus aux États-Unis doivent être conformes aux directives de sécurité de la FCC en ce qui concerne les limites d'exposition aux radiofréquences. La FCC s'en remet à la FDA et aux autres organismes de santé pour ce qui est des questions d'innocuité des téléphones
16
sans fil. La FCC réglemente également les stations de base dont dépendent les réseaux de téléphonie sans fil. Bien que ces stations fonctionnent à une puissance plus élevée que les téléphones sans fil, elles n'exposent habituellement les utilisateurs qu'à des radiofréquences des milliers de fois inférieures à celles émises par les téléphones proprement dits. L'innocuité des stations de base n'est donc pas abordée dans ce document.
3. Quels types de téléphones sont visés ici?
L'expression téléphone sans fil désigne les téléphones sans fil portatifs dotés d'une antenne intégrée; on les appelle également téléphone cellulaire, téléphone mobile et téléphoneSCP. Ces types de téléphones sans fil peuvent exposer l'utilisateur à une énergie de radiofréquences (RF) mesurable en raison de la courte distance entre le téléphone et la tête de l'utilisateur. Ces expositions aux radiofréquences sont limitées en raison des directives de sécurité émanant de la FCC, qui ont été élaborées sur les
conseils de la FDA et d'autres organismes de santé et de sécurité. Lorsque le téléphone est situé à une plus grande distance de l'utilisateur, l'exposition aux radiofréquences diminue considérablement car cette diminution se fait rapidement au fur et à mesure qu'augmente la distance par rapport à la source d'émission. Les téléphones dits «sans fil» qui sont dotés d'une unité de base branchée au câblage téléphonique d'une maison fonctionnent généralement à des niveaux de puissance beaucoup moins élevés et, par conséquent, entraînent une exposition aux radiofréquences bien en deçà des limites de sécurité fixées par laFCC.
4. Quels sont les résultats des recherches déjà effectuées?
Les recherches effectuées jusqu'à présent ont donné des résultats contradictoires et nombre de ces études présentaient des failles sur le plan des méthodes de recherche appliquées.
L'expérimentation animale portant sur les effets de l'exposition à l'énergie des radiofréquences (RF) caractéristique des téléphones sans fil a également débouché sur des résultats contradictoires qui, souvent, ne peuvent pas être reproduits dans d'autres laboratoires. Quelques études chez l'animal suggèrent toutefois qu'à de faibles niveaux, les radiofréquences peuvent accélérer le développement du cancer chez les animaux de laboratoire. Cependant, un grand nombre d'études ayant démontré un développement accéléré des tumeurs ont utilisé des animaux génétiquement modifiés ou traités à l'aide de produits chimiques cancérigènes de façon à être prédisposés au cancer, même en l'absence d'exposition à des radiofréquences. Dans le cadre d'autres
17
Sécurité
études, les animaux étaient exposés aux radiofréquences pendant des périodes pouvant aller jusqu'à 22 heures par jour. Étant donné que de telles conditions sont différentes des conditions dans lesquelles les gens utilisent les téléphones sans fil, nous ne savons pas avec certitude si les résultats de ces recherches s'appliquent à la santé de l'homme. Trois grandes études épidémiologiques ont été publiées depuis décembre 2000. Ces études portaient sur l'association possible entre l'utilisation du téléphone sans fil et le cancer primitif du cerveau, le gliome, le méningiome, le névrome acoustique, les tumeurs du cerveau ou des glandes salivaires, la leucémie et divers autres cancers. Aucune de ces études n'a démontré l'existence d'effets nocifs sur la santé suite à l'exposition aux radiofréquences émises par les téléphones sans fil.
Cependant, aucune de ces études ne répond aux questions relatives aux effets à long terme d'une exposition à ces radiofréquences puisque la période moyenne d'exposition utilisée dans le cadre de ces
18
recherches était de trois ans environ.
5. Quelles recherches doit-on mener pour déterminer si l'exposition aux radiofréquences émises par les téléphones sans fil est nocive pour la santé?
Une combinaison d'études en laboratoire et d'études épidémiologiques portant sur les utilisateurs de téléphones sans fil pourrait fournir certaines des données nécessaires. Des études portant sur l'exposition permanente d'animaux à ces radiofréquences pourraient être achevées dans quelques années. Toutefois, il faudrait utiliser un très grand nombre d'animaux pour obtenir une preuve fiable d'un effet cancérigène, s'il y en a un. Les études épidémiologiques peuvent fournir des données pouvant être appliquées directement aux populations humaines, mais il faut parfois effectuer un suivi sur une période de 10 ans ou plus pour obtenir des réponses au sujet des effets sur la santé (dont le cancer). Ceci découle du fait qu'il faut parfois compter de nombreuses
années entre le moment de l'exposition à un agent cancérigène et le développement d'une tumeur, le cas échéant. Par ailleurs, l'interprétation des études épidémiologiques est gênée par la difficulté qu'il y a à mesurer l'exposition réelle aux radiofréquences dans le cadre d'une utilisation au jour le jour des téléphones sans fil. De nombreux facteurs affectent ces mesures, dont l'angle selon lequel le téléphone est tenu et le modèle de l'appareil utilisé.
6. Que fait la FDA pour en apprendre davantage sur les effets potentiels sur la santé des radiofréquences émises par les téléphones sans fil?
La FDA collabore avec le U.S. National Toxicology Program ainsi qu'avec des groupes d'investigateurs du monde entier pour veiller à ce que les études les plus importantes chez l'animal soient menées de façon à traiter les questions importantes relatives aux effets de l'exposition à l'énergie des radiofréquences (RF). La FDA est un des principaux participants au Projet international pour l'étude des champs électromagnétiques
ou Projet EMF depuis ses débuts en 1996. Un résultat influent de ce projet a été la création d'une liste détaillée des besoins en matière de recherche, ce qui a entraîné la mise sur pied de nouveaux programmes de recherche partout dans le monde. Ce projet a également permis d'élaborer une série de documents d'information, destinés au public, portant sur les champs électromagnétiques. La FDA et la Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) ont conclu un accord officiel de coopération en matière de recherche et développement (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement ou CRADA) en vue de mener des recherches sur l'innocuité des téléphones sans fil. La FDA assure la supervision scientifique par l'obtention de l'opinion de spécialistes du gouvernement, de l'industrie et des organismes académiques. Les recherches financées par la CTIA sont menées dans le cadre de contrats conclus avec des investigateurs indépendants. Les travaux initiaux comprennent des études en laboratoire et des études menées auprès d'utilisateurs de téléphones sans fil. Le
19
Sécurité
CRADA couvre également une évaluation large des autres besoins en matière de recherche dans le contexte des plus récents développements dans ce domaine, partout dans le monde.
7. Comment puis-je connaître mon propre niveau d'exposition aux radiofréquences lorsque j'utilise mon téléphone sans fil?
Tous les téléphones vendus aux États-Unis doivent être conformes aux directives de la Federal Communications Commission (FCC) en matière de limites d'exposition à l'énergie des radiofréquences (RF). La FCC a établi ces directives en collaboration avec la FDA et d'autres organismes fédéraux de santé et de sécurité. La limite fixée par la FCC en matière d'exposition aux RF émises par les téléphones sans fil a été établie en fonction d'un débit d'absorption spécifique (DAS) de 1,6watt par kilogramme (1,6W/kg). La limite établie par la FCC est conforme aux normes de sécurité de l'Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) et du National Council on Radiation Protection and
20
Measurement. Cette limite d'exposition tient compte de la capacité du corps humain à évacuer la chaleur des tissus qui absorbent l'énergie émise par les téléphones cellulaires et a été fixée de façon à être largement en-deçà des niveaux connus pour avoir des effets. Les fabricants de téléphones sans fil doivent indiquer à la FCC le niveau d'exposition aux RF de chacun de leurs modèles de téléphone. Consultez le site Web de la FCC (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ rfsafety) pour savoir comment trouver le numéro d'identification de la FCC sur votre téléphone. Ce numéro permet ensuite de trouver, dans la liste disponible en ligne, le niveau d'exposition aux radiofréquences correspondant.
