Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

TIA Safety
Information

Provided herein is the
complete TIA Safety
Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of
the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other
Medical Devices is required
in the owner’s manual for
CTIA Certifi cation. Use of the
remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.

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 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).

13

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

* 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).

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.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the
phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your
shoulder.

14

Tips on Effi cient
Operation

For your phone to operate
most effi ciently:

• Do not 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.

Driving

Check the laws and
regulations on the use of
wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving

- driving safely is your fi rst
responsibility;

• Use hands-free operation, if
available;

• Pull off the road and park
before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so
require.

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 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.

15

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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.

16

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.
Turn your phone OFF before
boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with
blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a ‘blasting
areas 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.

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.

17

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

For Vehicles Equipped
with an Air Bag

An air bag infl ates with great
force. DO NOT place objects,
including either installed or

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration Centre for
Devices and Radiological
Health Consumer Update on
Mobile Phones.

1. Do wireless phones
pose a health hazard?

The available scientifi c

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 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

22

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 fi ndings
have not been confi rmed by
additional research. In some
cases, other researchers
have had diffi culty 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
radiation emitting 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
energy (RF) 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

scientifi c 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:

23

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

• National Institute for
Occupational Safety and
Health

• Environmental Protection
Agency

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

• Occupational Safety and
Health Administration

• National
Telecommunications and
Information Administration

The National Institutes of
Health participates in some
interagency working group
activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are

24

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,
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 confl icting
results, and many studies
have suffered from fl aws
in their research methods.
Animal experiments
investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic
of wireless phones
have yielded confl icting

25

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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 predisposed
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

26

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 longterm
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 cancer­causing agent and the time
tumors develop - if they
do may be many, many
years. The interpretation
of epidemiological studies
is hampered by diffi culties
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 fi nd out more about
the possible health
effects of wireless
phone RF?

The FDA is working with

the U.S. National Toxicology

27

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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
Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF) Project since its
inception in 1996. An
infl uential 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

28

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 scientifi c 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 fi nd
out how much
radiofrequency 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
radiofrequency 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 Specifi c Absorption
Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent
with the safety standards

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
identifi cation number on
your phone so you can fi nd
your phone’s RF exposure
level in the online listing.

29

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

8. What has the FDA
done to measure the
radiofrequency energy
coming from wireless
phones?

The Institute of Electrical

and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing
a technical standard
for measuring the
radiofrequency 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 Spatial­Peak Specifi c Absorption
Rate (SAR) in the Human
Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,’
sets forth the fi rst consistent

30

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. 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 scientifi c 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 scientifi c evidence

does not show a danger to

31

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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
leafl ets containing such
a recommendation in
December 2000. They
noted that no evidence

32

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 scientifi c evidence
that any health hazard
exists.

11. What about wireless
phone interference
with medical
equipment?

Radiofrequency 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 defi brillators from

wireless telephones. This
test method is now part
of a standard sponsored
by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI).
The fi nal draft, a joint
effort by the FDA, medical
device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was
completed in late 2000.
This standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure
that cardiac pacemakers
and defi brillators 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 specifi es 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 benefi ts
of wireless phones, one that
every user must uphold.

When operating a car, driving
is your fi rst 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
handsfree device. A number
of handsfree 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 traffi c or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy
traffi c. As a driver, your
fi rst 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

35

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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 traffi c; if possible, place
calls when you are not
moving or before pulling
into traffi c. 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 tip — dial 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

36

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 fi re,
traffi c accident, road hazard
or medical emergency.
Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone!

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
nonemergency 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 broken-down
vehicle posing no serious
hazard, a broken traffi c
signal, a minor traffi c
accident where no one
appears injured or a
vehicle. you know to
be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless
number.

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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 radiofrequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) 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

38

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 1.6W/kg. *
Tests for SAR are 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 governmentadopted
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 1.19 W/kg
and when worn on the body,

as described in this user’s
manual, is 0.55 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements
differ among phones 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
BEJGU290.

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

Additional information on
Specifi c Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications

* 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.
