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.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the
back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2 cm)
from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 0.79 inches (2 cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the back of the

13

For Your Safety

phone, including the antenna, whether extended
or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components
should not be used. Avoid the use of accessories
that cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the back of the phone
and have not been tested for compliance with FCC
RF exposure limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep
8 inches (20 cm) between the user / bystander
and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.

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?

Scientific 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
scientific community at large … believes that the
weight of scientific evidence does not show an
association between exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientific community does
recommend conducting additional research to
address gaps in knowledge. That research is being
conducted around the world and FDA continues to

15

For Your Safety

monitor developments in this field. 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 scientific research is being conducted.
The FCC issued its own website publication stating
that “there is no scientific 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/oet/rfsafety 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 certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is
expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”

16 LG dLite | User Guide

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. 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 0.67 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.52 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements).

17

For Your Safety

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 BEJGD570.
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 Telecommunications
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

18 LG dLite | User Guide

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 configuration 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 scientific
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”]

19

For Your Safety

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
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://
www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write
to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 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.

Where can I get further information about RF
emissions?

TIA 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 ON,
it receives and 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)
* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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

23

For Your Safety

the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized 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.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t 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.

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.

24 LG dLite | User Guide

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
(6) 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;

• 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).

25

For Your Safety

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 regulations prohibit using your phone while in
the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an
aircraft.

26 LG dLite | User Guide

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.

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.

27

For Your Safety

when putting it to your ear.

● Use accessories, such as

earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.

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 Radio Frequency (RF)
energy in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in idle
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.
