Other Information
This user’s guide provides important information
on the use and operation of your phone. Please
read all the information carefully prior to using
the phone for the best performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or modifications will void
your warranty.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part
15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its
accessories can not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device and its accessories must
accept any interference received, including
interference that causes undesired operation.
Technical Details
The Migo is an all digital phone that operates on
both Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services at 800 MHz and
Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9
GHz. Also, the Migo works on Digital-Dual Mode.
6 Migo
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS
(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that
enables the phone to keep communication from
being crossed and to use one frequency channel
by multiple users in the same specific area. This
results in a 10-fold capacity increase when compared with analog mode. In addition, features
such as soft / softer handoff, hard Handoff, and
dynamic RF power control technologies combine
to reduce call interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of
MSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base
Station Controller), BTS (Base Station
Transmission System) and MS (Mobile Station).
The following table lists some major CDMA standards.
TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A system
*
and ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed
data transmission is also possible.

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 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 3/4 inches (2 cm) must be maintained between the user's
body and the back of the phone, including the
antenna, whether extended or retracted. Thirdparty belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components should not be
used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot
maintain 3/4 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.
Migo 7
Page 12
Welcome
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available)
A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must
be maintained between the user / bystander
and the vehicle-mounted external antenna to
satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For
more information about RF exposure, visit the
FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and approved antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call quality, damage the
phone, void your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with the skin a minor burn may result. Contact
your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to 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 or 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 leaflets containing such
a recommendation in December 2000. They
note that no evidence 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 scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

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 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)
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 agen-
cies, 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:
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 and always obey
18 Migo
Page 23
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please
observe the following:
●
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 or the law 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 (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).
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.
Migo 19
Page 24
Safety
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 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

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s
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
Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the Main Menu Screen. 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.
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 (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 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
Migo 23
Page 28
Safety
●
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 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 Radio
Frequency (RF) energy 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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.
24 Migo
Page 29
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
cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop — if
they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation
of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties 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 find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential
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 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 scientific
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 addi-
Migo 25
Page 30
Safety
tional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radio frequency
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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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 Specific 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 identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s
RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the radio frequency energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
is developing a technical standard for measuring the
Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the
Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques” sets forth the first consistent
test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue-simulating 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 radio frequency 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
26 Migo
Page 31
risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. 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 scientific 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 scientific evidence does not show a danger to users
of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If
you want to take steps to lower exposure to Radio
Frequency 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 leaflets containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no evidence 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 scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with
Radio Frequency 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 defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of
Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final 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 defibrillators 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 specifies 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 “com-
medical equipment?
Migo 27

Safety
patible” 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.

SAR
(Specific 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 scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
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 Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level
28 Migo
Page 33
in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified 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 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 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

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 modified 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 find 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 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.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find 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.
