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 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)

92

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).

97

Safety Guidelines

Caution: Avoid potential
hearing loss.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including
music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific
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

®

or other wireless devices).

Bluetooth
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: 204 Safety

] Set the volume in a quiet environment and

select the lowest volume at which you can
hear adequately.

98

] 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 noisecancelling
headphones to block out background
environmental noise.

] 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 muffled speech or
experience any temporary hearing difficulty
after listening to your portable audio
device, discontinue use and consult your
doctor.
