FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326,
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards.

Consumer Information About Radio
Frequency Emissions

Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and
receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use. The following
consumer information addresses commonly asked questions about
the health effects of wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?

Scientifi c research on the subject of wireless phones and radio
frequency (“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for
many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and
Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless
phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues
related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientifi c
community at large … believes that the weight of scientifi c
evidence does not show an association between exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientifi c community does recommend
conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That
research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues
to monitor developments in this fi eld. You can access the joint
FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “c”in the subject
index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can also contact the
FDA toll-free at [phone] or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000,
the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientifi c research is being
conducted. The FCC issued its own website publication stating

8 NEXUS 5 SAFETY & WARRANTY NE

that “there is no scientifi c evidence that proves that wireless
phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems,
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication
is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ cellular.html or through the
FCC at [phone] or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure
safety guidelines for wireless phones in the United States. Before
a wireless phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested by the manufacturer and certifi ed to the FCC that it
does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits
is expressed as a Specifi c Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a
measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests
for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest
power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has
required that the SAR of handheld wireless phones not exceed 1.6
watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the
actual SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less
than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may
vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to
a cell site, the proximity of the phone to the body while in use,
and the use of hands-free devices. For more information about
SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://www.fcc.
gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins or
visit the Cellular Telecom munications Industry Association website
at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You

may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your phone.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps
you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course,
reduce your talk time. You can place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that
“hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy
in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand,
if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the
body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF
energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet
safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against
the head or against the body. Either confi guration should result
in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use your wireless
phone while in a car, you can use a phone with an antenna on
the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your
wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation
of your phone.

Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientifi c evidence does
not show a danger to users of wireless communication devices,
including children.” The FDA/FCC website further states that “some
groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all”.
For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”]

10 NEXUS 5 SAFETY & WARRANTY NE

made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report a
group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that
using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The
UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientifi c evidence that
any health hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at
http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB,
Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the
UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online
at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/
(search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF
exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless phone
use.
