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 PHONES AND DEVICES SAFE?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones 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 phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health 
issues related to cell phone usage where it states that, while research is ongoing, “available 
scientific evidence—including World Health Organization [“WHO”] findings [in the Interphone study] released May 17, 2010—shows no increased health risk due to radiofrequency 
(RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by cell phones.” The FDA also 
cites a separate National Cancer Institute program finding that, despite the dramatic increase 
in cell phone use, occurrences of brain cancer did not increase between 1987 and 2005. You 
can access the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUp dates/
ucm212273.htm. You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888)  
INFO-FDA. The FCC has its own website publication stating that “[t]here is no scientific 
evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, 
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www. 
fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The  
National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) states that concerns about the potential health effects of 
using cellular phones—“and specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may increase 
a person’s risk of developing brain cancer— are not supported by a growing body of research 
on the subject.” You can access NCI’s review of the research at http://www.cancer.gov/ 
ncican cerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_Bulletin_092308/page7. The WHO’s Interphone study 
is the largest study of cell phone use and brain tumors ever undertaken. WHO summarized 
its conclusions concerning Interphone as follows: “Overall, no increase in risk of glioma 
or meningioma was observed with use of mobile phones. There were suggestions of an 
increased risk of glioma at the highest exposure levels, but biases and error prevent a causal 
interpretation. The possible effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones require further 
investigation.” The WHO’s comments on Interphone are available at: http://www.iarc.fr/en/
mediacentre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf. WHO’s publication of Interphone is available at  
http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/ije/press_releases/freepdf/dyq079.pdf; see 
also, Interphone Appendix 1 (http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/data/dyq079/DC1/1), and  
Appendix 2 (http://ije.oxford journals.org/cgi/data/dyq079/DC1/2).
WHAT DOES SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) MEAN?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
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 wireless 
device transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, 
the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless devices 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 wireless device to the body while 
in use, and the use of hands-free devices. 
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at www.fcc.gov/ 
Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins, www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. You may 
also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless 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/FCC website states that “[h]ands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for 
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of RF energy in the head because 
the phone, which is a source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the 
other hand, if the phone 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 phones 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 wireless 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 wireless device.
DO WIRELESS DEVICES POSE ANY SPECIAL RISKS 
TO CHILDREN?
The FDA website states that “[t]he scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of 
cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers.” The FDA website further 
states that “[s]ome groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that 
children be discouraged from using cell phones 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 cell phone causes 
brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone 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 0RQ, United Kingdom. 
Copies of UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at http://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.

IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a wireless phone and 
an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, 
to avoid potential interference with the device. Persons who have such devices:
•  Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from their implant 
able medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON;
•  Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;
•  Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential 
for interference;
•  Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that 
interference is taking place.
•  Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable 
medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your 
health care provider. For additional information, see www.fda.gov/cellphones/.
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 Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). 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:
•  Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can 
   hear adequately.
•  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 noise 
   cancelling 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.

DRIVE RESPONSIBLY
When behind the wheel, safe driving is your responsibility and it should always be your 
first priority. Scientific research on the subject of wireless phone use and driving has been 
conducted worldwide for several years. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA), the available research indicates that using a wireless phone while 
driving degrades a driver’s performance, whether it is a hands-free or hand-held wireless 
phone. NHTSA advises that the “safest course of action is to refrain from using a cell phone 
while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell Phone Use While Driving,” as well as Frequently 
Asked Questions on the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click on “Traffic Safety”  
then on “Drowsy and Distracted Driving”). For your well being and the well being of those 
around you, you should consider turning your phone off and allowing calls to go to Voice 
Mail while you are driving. If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving, several 
jurisdictions have adopted “hands-free” and other restrictions on the use of wireless devices 
while driving. It is your responsibility to know and to comply with the law in your area.
