USING THIS GUIDE
Your G320 phone operates on the GSM network which provide s fraud protection, short
message service (SMS), integrated voice mail, superior voice quality and clear, static-free
sound. One of the most important GSM advantages is the remova ble SIM (su bscriber identity
module) card, which holds your personal information such as phone numbers, missed calls,
voice mail notifications and text messages.
Your phone uses a built-in micro browser to reach the Internet and other services such as
e-mail. This micro browser uses the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) specification, which
standarizes the way that wireless devices can access the Internet and many services. WAP uses
WML (Wireless Markup Language), a language that translates Web pages into a format that
can be viewed on wireless devices. Whil e on line, your phone can also v i ew pictures, jump to
other links, and enter information into a Web page or service.
When available, your phone will use GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology.
GPRS is the fastest way yet to transmit data over mobile phone networks. With GPRS, the
information is split into separate but related "packets" before being transmitted and
reassembled at the receiving end. Packet switching means that GPRS radio resources are used
only when users are actually sending or receiving data. No dial-up modem connection is
necessary. This is why GPRS users are sometimes referred to be as being "always connected."
Certain features included in this guide called Network Services are supplied by wireless service
providers. You must order a subscription to the services from your home service provider to be
able to use them. Please ask your service provider for details of Network Services.

SAFETY INFORMATION
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: 1) Th is de vice
may not cause harmful interference, and
2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence that may cause undesired op era tio n.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Mitsubishi Wireless
Communications, Inc. could void your
authority from the FCC to operate the
equipment.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO
FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radi o transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio f requency (RF)
signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guideline s with safety lev els for
hand-held wireless phon es. These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
*ANSI C95.1 (199 2)
*NCRP Report 86 (1986)
*ICNIRP (1996)
*American National Standards Institute;
National Council o n Radiation Prot ection and
Measurements; Inte rnational Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Those standards were ba sed on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, eng ineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available bod y of res earch to develo p
the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your p hone complies with
the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
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 ma nufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communica-
tions 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 meas urement
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 operatin g positions spe cified by
the FCC with the phon e tra nsm it tin g at it s
highest certified power level in all te sted
frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the hig hes t c ert if ie d po we r
level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to opera te at multiple
power levels so as t o use only t he 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 governmentadopted 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 highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use at the
ear is ____ and when worn on the body, as
describ ed in th is us er g uid e, is __ _. (B odyworn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there
may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones a nd at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement
for safe exposure.
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
13
phone is on file with th e FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID BGB MT289.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://
www.phonefacts.net.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial mar gin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Your phone has been tested and meets
the limits for radio frequency (RF)
exposure set by the FCC for normal
handheld use next to t he ear or worn o n
the body using a Mitsubishi brand belt
clip accessory specified for this phone,
and used as intend ed. Operation of the
phone in other situ ations such as in shirt
pockets or non-Mitsubishi br and bel t clip s
or holsters have not been tested. Therefore operation of the phone in non-tested
situations may not meet the lim its for RF
exposure set by the FCC and must be
avoided.
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phon e an d may violate
FCC regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Hold the phone as you would any othe r
telephone with the antenna poin ted up
and over your shoulder.
For your phone to operate most efficiently, extend the antenna f ully (if appli cable) and do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when t he phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher powe r leve l than otherwise needed.
DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of wireless telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also,
if using your phone while driving, please:
• Giv e full attention to driving - driving
14
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 you r wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry M anufacturers Asso-
ciation recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) i nches 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 p ace-
maker to minimize the potential for
interference
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediate l y
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 pro vider (or call the c ustomer
service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufact urer of your
device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be ab le to help you obtain
this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulati ons pos ted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facil ities may be using e quip-
ment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may af fect improper ly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicle s. Che ck with the
manufacturer or its represen tative reg arding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipme nt that
has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any fac ility w here
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 in terfering with blasting oper ations, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” o r in areas posted “Turn
off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE AREAS
Turn your phone OFF when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could ca use an explosi on or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death. Areas with a p otentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They in clude fueling areas
such as gasoline stations; be low 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 othe r area where you
would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH
AIR BAGS
An air bag inflates with great force. DO
NOT place objects, including both installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Dev ices
and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on
Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the
safety of mobile phones, including cellular
phones and PCS phones. The following
summarizes what is known--and what
remains unknown--about whether these
products can pose a hazard to health, and
what can be done to minimize any potential risk.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (i.e., radio frequency
radiation) in the microwave range while
being used. They als o emit v ery low lev els
of radio frequency energy (RF), considered
non-significant, when in the stand-by
mode. It is well known that high levels of
RF can produce biological damage
through heating effects (this is how you r
microwave oven is able to cook food).
However, it is not known whether, to what
extent, or through what mechanism,
lower levels of RF might cause adverse
health effects as well. Although some
research has been done to address these
questions, no cle ar picture of t he biological effects of this type of radiation has
emerged to date. Thus, the available
science does not allow us to conclude that
mobile phones are a bsolutely safe, or that
they are unsafe. However, the available
scientific evidenc e does not
any adverse health effects associated with
the use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in
question?
Questions have been raised about handheld mobile phones, the kind that have a
built-in antenna that is positioned close to
the user’s head dur ing normal telephone
conversation. These types of mobile
phones are of concern because of the
short distance between the phone’s
antenna--the primary source of the RF-and the person’s head. The exposure to RF
from mobile phones in which the antenna
demonstrate
15
is located at greater distances from the
user (on the outside of a car, for example)
is drastically lower than that from handheld phones, because a person’s RF
exposure decreases rapidly with distance
from the source. The safety of so-called
”cordless phones,” which have a base unit
connected to the telephone wiring in a
house and which operate at far lower
power levels and frequencies, has not
been questioned.
How much ev idence is there th a t
hand-held mobile phones might be
harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to
know for sure, either way; however,
research efforts are on-going.
The existing scien tific evidenc e is conflicting and many of the studies that have
been done to date have suffered from
flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of RF
exposures characteri stic of mobile pho nes
have yielded conflicting results. A few
animal studies, however, have suggested
that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory ani mals. In one study, mice genetically
altered to be predisposed to developing
one type of cancer developed more than
twice as many such cancers when they
were exposed to RF energ y compared to
controls. There is much uncertainty
among scientists about whether results
obtained from an im al studies apply to the
use of mobile phones. Fi rst, it is unc ertai n
how to apply the res ults obtained in rats
and mice to humans. Second, many of the
studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had
already been tre ated with cancer-caus ing
chemicals, and o ther studies expo sed the
animals to the RF virtually continuously-up to 22 hours per day.
For the p as t fiv e yea r s i n th e U ni t ed St a te s,
the mobile phone industry has supported
research into the safety of mobile phones.
This research h as resulted in two f indings
in particular that merit additional study:
1. In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for
an association between mobile phone use and either glioma
(a type of br ai n c ance r ) o r aco us ti c ne uro ma ( a b en ig n t um or
of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association
was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma.
There was also no association between mobile phone use and
gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were considered
16
together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile
phone exposure in this study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an association was found between mobile phone use and
one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is
possible with multiple comparisons of the same sample that
this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not
increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the
length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with
cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most c ancer causing
agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study
of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to
bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.
2. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic
material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA
strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material
of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests showed
any effect of the RF except for the micronucle us assay, which
detects structural effects on the genetic material. The cells in
this assay showed changes after exposure to simulated cell
phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure. I t is p o ssible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this long
resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to
heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to
occur. The data already in the literature on the response of the
micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up
research is necessary.
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and academic groups to
ensure the proper follow-up to these
industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the C ellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in
particular is expecte d to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded
research based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been
reported recently in the literature:
1. Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile
phone signals under laboratory conditions while they
performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in
the subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in
their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices
more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to
simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change
noted among more than 20 variables compared.
2. In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched
controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors
associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in
certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the
side of the head where the mobile phone wa s used. Because
this occurred in only a small number of c ases, the increased
likelihood was too small to be statistically signif icant.
In summary, we do not have enough
information at this point to assure the
2

public that there are, or are not , any low
incident health problems associated with
use of mobile phones. FD A continues to
work with all parties, including other
federal agencies and industry, to assure
that research is u n dert a ken to provide the
necessary answers to the outstanding
questions about the safety of mobile
phones.
What is known about cases of
human cancer that have been
reported in users of hand-held
mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile
phones have been diag nosed with brain
cancer. But it is important to understand
that this type of cancer also occurs among
people who have not used mobile phones.
In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S.
population at a rate of about 6 new cases
per 100,000 people each year. At that
rate, assuming 8 0 million users of mobile
phones (a number increasing at a rat e of
about 1 million per mon th), about 4800
cases of brain cancer would be expected
each year among th ose 80 mill ion peop le,
whether or not they used their phones.
Thus it is not possi ble to tell whether any
individual’s cancer arose because of the
phone, or whether it would have
happened anyway.
A key question is whether the risk of
getting a particular form of cancer is
greater among people who use mobile
phones than among the rest of th e po pulation. One way to answer that question is
to compare the usag e of mobile phones
among people with brain cance r with the
use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain
cancer. This is called a case-con trol study.
The current case-control study of brain
cancers by the National Ca ncer Institute,
as well as the follow-up research to be
sponsored by industry, will begin to
generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the
safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not r eview the
safety of radiation-emitting consumer
products such as mobile phones before
marketing, as it does with ne w drugs or
medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if mobile phones
are shown to emit radiation at a level that
is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the manufacturers of
mobile phones to notify users of the
health hazard and to repair, replace or
recall the phones so tha t the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do
not justify FDA regulatory actions a t this
time, FDA has urged the mobile phone
industry to take a number of steps to
assure public safety. The agency has recommended that the industry:
support needed research into possible
biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by mobile phones
design mobile phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exp osure to the user
that is not necessary for device function
cooperate in providing mobile phone
users with the best possible information
on what is known about possible
effects of mobile phone use on huma n
health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to
ensure a coordinated effort at the federal
level. These agencies are:
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Health and Safety Admin-
istration
National Telecommunications and Infor-
mation Administration
The National Institutes of Health also
participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive
information about any possible risk,
what can concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these pr oducts--and
at this point we do not know that there is-
-it is probably very small. But if peop le are
concerned about avoi ding even potential
risks, there are simple steps they can take
to do so. For example, time is a key factor
in how much exp osure a perso n receives.
Those persons who spend long period s of
time on their hand-held mobile phones
could consider holdi ng lengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter
17
conversations or for situations when other
types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their c ars daily could s witch
to a type of mobile phone that places
more distanc e between their bodies a nd
the source of th e RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance.
For example, they could switch to a
mobile phone in which the antenna is
located outside the vehicle,
hand-held phone with a built-in
antenna connected to a different
antenna mounted on the outside of
the car or built into a separate
package, or
headset with a remote antenna to a
mobile phone carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not
demonstrate that mobile phones are
harmful. But if you are concerned about
the radio frequency energy from these
products, taking the precautions out lined
above can reduce any possib le risk.
