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 device
complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

Consumer Information About Radio
Frequency Emissions

Your wireless device, 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 devices.

Are wireless devices safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless
devices 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 devices. The FDA
issued a website publication on health issues
related to device 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 the devices and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientific community does
recommend conducting additional research to
address gaps in knowledge. That research is being
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 [phone] 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 device 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) 225­5322 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 devices in the United
States. Before a wireless device 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 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 device transmitting
at its highest power level in all tested frequency
bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the
SAR of handheld wireless device 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
device 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 device to the body while in use, and the use
of hands-free devices. Before a device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed

11

For Your Safety

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 FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model device with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model device 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 ZNFV510.

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 device.

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/

12

FCC website states that “hands-free kits can be
used with wireless devices for convenience and
comfort. These systems reduce the absorption
of RF energy in the head because the device,
which is the source of the RF emissions, will not
be placed against the head. On the other hand, if
the device 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
devices 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
device while in a car, you can use a device with
an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You
should also read and follow your wireless device
manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation
of your device.

Do wireless devices 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 device 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill
effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit device
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 device 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 their children’s wireless device
use.

emissions?
