connection volume is too high, or by
special properties (semi electronic
telephone exchange) of the
equipment on the other end.

Q Why does the phone heat up?
A The phone may get hot when there

is a very long call duration or when
games are played for a long time.
This has no effect upon the life of
the product or performance.

Q Why does the battery life get

shorter in standby mode?

A The battery is worn out. As time

passes, the battery life gradually
becomes shorter. If the battery lasts
about half the amount of time as
when first purchased, it’s time to
purchase a new battery.

Q Why does the battery run out so

quickly during normal use?

A It is due to the user's environment,

a large number of calls, or a weak
signal.

Q Why is no number dialed when you

recall a Contacts entry?

A Check that the number has been

stored correctly by using the
Contact List feature. Re-store them,
if necessary.

Q I cannot find the lock, PIN, or PUK

Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal

Your wireless handheld portable
telephone is a lowpower 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:

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).

* American National Standards

Institute;National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection

The design of your phone complies
with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).

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 potential
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.

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.

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
standby mode. 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

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 84

Safety Guidelines

85

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:

]

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

]

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:

]

National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health

]

Environmental Protection Agency

]

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

]

]

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 85

Safety Guidelines

86

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,

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 86

Safety Guidelines

87

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

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 87

Safety Guidelines

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 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

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 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

89

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

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 89

Safety Guidelines

90

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.

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 90

Safety Guidelines

91

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 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 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
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

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 92

Safety Guidelines

93

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.

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 hands-free
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

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 94

Safety Guidelines

95

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 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 tip­dial 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!

CP150 AT&T_ENG_080909 1904.3.30 2:49 AM ˘ ` 95

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 non-emergency
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 broken­down 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.
