Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.

RF Operational Characteristics

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 849 MHz in analog and digital mode and 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz in digital mode.

When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power levels at which your phone transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a range from 0.04 watts to 0.49 watts in analog mode and 0.0 watts to

0.57 watts in digital mode.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):

• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J

PRELIMINARY

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

Page 12

Safety and General Information

• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999

• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999

To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:

Portable Phone Operation and EME Exposure

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.

PRELIMINARY

Page 13

Safety and General Information

Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into the

microphone.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the phone in a Motorola-supplied or approved

clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, and are not holding the phone in the normal use position at the ear, ensure the phone and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.

Data Operation

When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at

least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body.

Approved Accessories

For a list of approved Motorola accessories, visit our website at

Safety and General Information

Electromagnetic Interference/ Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise conﬁgured for electromagnetic compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conﬂicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug Administration.

PRELIMINARY

Page 15

Safety and General Information

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.

• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

• turn OFF the phone immediately if you have 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 hearing aid manufacturer 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 RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Safety and General

Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using your phone while driving, please:

PRELIMINARY

Page 16

Safety and General Information

• give full attention to driving and to the road.

• use hands-free operation, if available.

• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inﬂate with great force. If a portable phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inﬂates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless the phone is a model speciﬁcally identiﬁed as being “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, 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. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

PRELIMINARY

Page 17

Safety and General Information

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use any portable phone that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your

skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Basic Features

• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods of time may require a longer charge time.

• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when charging.

• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your Personal Communicator with you when you leave your vehicle.

• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.

• Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging time, then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

• The more you talk on the Personal Communicator or use its features (like sending text messages), the less standby time your battery has.

The rechargeable batteries that power this product must be disposed of properly and may need to be

recycled. Refer to your battery’s label for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for proper disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a ﬁre because they may explode.

Speciﬁc Absorption Rate Data

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 limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for the United States and by Health Canada for Canada. 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 or 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 and by Health Canada is 1.6

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating

W/kg. positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.

PRELIMINARY

Page 93

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 in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certiﬁed to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.27 W/kg2, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.24 W/kg.2 (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and regulatory requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure.

The FCC and Industry Canada have granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as being in compliance with the FCC and Health Canada RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on ﬁle with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices 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. This information may be used to respond to questions.

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 also emit very low levels 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 your 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 clear picture of the 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 absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientiﬁc evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use

PRELIMINARY

of mobile phones.

FDA Update

Page 96

What kinds of phones are in question?

Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's head during 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 is located at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held 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 evidence is there that 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 scientiﬁc evidence 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 characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conﬂicting results. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of

PRELIMINARY

cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones.

Page 97

First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously—up to 22 hours per day.

For the past ﬁve years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two ﬁndings in particular that merit additional study:

In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor 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 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

PRELIMINARY

decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the

Page 98

National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.

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 micronucleus 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. It is possible 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 Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is expected 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

PRELIMINARY

literature:

Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they

Page 99

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.

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 was used.

Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be statistically signiﬁcant.

In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken 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 diagnosed 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 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible 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 the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National Cancer 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 review the safety of radiationemitting consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new 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 that the hazard no longer

exists.

Although the existing scientiﬁc data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone
