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 Certification.
Use of the remaining TIA
language is encouraged when

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:
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).
* American National
Standards Institute; National
Council on Radiation
Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on NonIonizing 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, modifications, or
attachments could damage

the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION:
the phone as you would any
other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient
Operation
For Your Safety
For your phone to operate
most efficiently:
●
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.
84
Hold
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 first 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.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may
want to consult AT&T.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device
to determine if they are
For Your Safety
85
For Your Safety
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
For Your Safety
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
86
consult the manufacturer of
any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities

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 fire
resulting in bodily injury or
even death.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration Center for
Devices and Radiological
Health 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
radiofrequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while
being used. They also emit
very low levels of RF when in
the Home screen. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low level
For Your Safety
93
For Your Safety
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
For Your Safety
had difficulty 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
radiationemitting consumer
products such as wireless
phones before they can be
sold, as it does with new drugs
94
or medical devices. However,
the agency has authority to
take action if wireless phones
are shown to emit
radiofrequency 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
scientific 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:
●
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
sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety
For Your Safety
95
For Your 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
For Your Safety
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
96
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 conflicting
results, and many studies
have suffered from flaws in
their research methods.
Animal experiments
investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of
wireless phones have yielded
conflicting 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 pre-disposed 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 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
For Your Safety
97
For Your Safety
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 long-term
exposures, since the average
For Your Safety
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?
Acombination of laboratory
studies and epidemiological
studies of people actually
using wireless phones would
98
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 difficulties in
