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 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

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

E

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 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

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 leafl et 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?

Consumer Information on SAR

(Specifi c 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 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 scientifi c organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientifi c 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 Specifi c Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are

E

conducted using standard operating positions specifi ed by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certifi ed power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest
certifi ed 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 certifi ed 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 0.56 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 1.27 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on fi le with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID ZNFE960. Additional information on Specifi c Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications

14 NEXUS 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

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.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modifi ed the
exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility
Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing device users to fi nd phones that
may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have
been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a
label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on

E

the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to
use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you fi nd this
rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively
immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone
rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating
and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the
two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with
“normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular
wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defi ned as a
signal quality that’s acceptable for normal operation.

16 NEXUS 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T
mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T
marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in
Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement
procedure are described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
When you're talking over the cell phone, it's recommended you'd
turn the BT (Bluetooth) or WLAN mode off for HAC.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may
be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have
not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to
try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine
if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider
or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange

Caution:
Avoid potential hearing loss.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most
common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientifi c
research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as
portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume
settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced
hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including
headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices).
Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some
studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound
and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device
varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the
device settings and the headphones. You should follow some
commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio
device:

Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest

•
volume at which you can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot

•
hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next
to you can hear what you are listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings.

•
If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise.

18 NEXUS 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases,

•
less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud

•
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If

•
you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffl ed speech or
experience any temporary hearing diffi culty after listening to
your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your
doctor.

Wi-Fi Caution

This device is capable of operating in 802.11a/n mode. For

802.11a/n devices operating in the frequency range of 5.15 – 5.25

GHz, they are restricted for indoor operations to reduce any
potential harmful interference for Mobile Satellite Services (MSS)
in the US. WIFI Access Points that are capable of allowing your
device to operate in 802.11a/n mode(5.15 – 5.25 GHz band) are
optimized for indoor use only.
If your WIFI network is capable of operating in this mode, please
restrict your WIFI use indoors to not violate federal regulations to

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 scientifi c 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 (and
those standards).

20 NEXUS 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifi cations, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Tips on Effi cient Operation

For your phone to operate most effi ciently:
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.

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;

E

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).

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.

22 NEXUS 4 SAFETY & WARRANTY N

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.

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 fi re resulting in bodily injury or
even death.

E

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 liquefi ed 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 infl ates 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 infl ates,
serious injury could result.
