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 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
12
| User Guide
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 vehiclemounted external
antenna. For more
information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied

For Your Safety
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
14
| User Guide
conducted around
the world and FDA
continues to 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 (888) 463-6332
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
(888) 225-5322 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
15
For Your Safety
limits established by
the FCC. One of these
limits is expressed as
a Specific 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.
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 1.26 W/
kg and when worn on
16
| User Guide
the body, as described
in this user guide, is
0.79 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 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 BEJGS505.
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.
17
For Your Safety
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
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.

| User Guide
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”] 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
19

their children’s wireless
phone use.

For Your Safety
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
22
| User Guide
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
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers
Association
recommends that a
minimum separation
of six (6) inches be
maintained between
23
For Your Safety
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;
24
| User Guide
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.
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
25
For Your Safety
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.

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

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
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy 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:
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
