• SCROLL BAR
When you select Menu, a vertical scroll bar appears
on the right side of the screen. This scroll bar has a tab
which moves up or down as you use the scroll keys to
move through the menus.
• ANTENNA
Your phone has an internal antenna. Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting device, do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily when the device is
switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed. Avoiding contact
with the antenna area when operating the phone
optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
• REMOVE AND INSTALL THE BATTERY
This phone can be powered by a 900-mAh NiMH battery (BMC-3) or a 950-mAh Li-Ion battery
(BLC-2). This section tells you how to remove and install the battery. You will need to remove
the battery when replacing it, or to view the phone label (located under the battery).
Remove the battery
If you purchase a new battery or need to access information on the phone label, you may
need to remove the battery. Make sure the phone is turned off for 10 seconds.
Note: Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations
(for example, recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.
1 Hold the phone with the back facing you. At the
bottom corners of the phone, press the battery
cover with your thumb and forefinger.
2 Place the thumb of your other hand in the groove,
approximately 1 inch from the top of the phone.
Apply pressure with the thumb and slide the back
cover toward you to release it; then remove it.
Bottom of
phone
3 Look for the battery latch that runs
along the end of the battery nearest
the top of the phone.
4 Place your thumbs on the corners
of the latch and press away from
the battery.
5 Once the battery is released from
the latch, it will lift slightly so that
it can be removed from the phone.
Warning: Use only your hands to remove the battery. Do not use any objects that
may damage the phone or the battery.
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from your battery:
•With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours before its first use.
Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat this procedure twice for a total of
three charging cycles.
•Battery operation time may be less than the estimated times during the first charges.
This condition is normal.
•If the battery is fully discharged, the scrolling bars may not appear immediately
when charging.
•After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the charging cycle, but the
calls interrupt the charge. When the phone call ends, the charge will resume.
•The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the phone is charged. If
you leave the phone connected to the charger, the battery receives an additional charge.
Note: The battery will accept a “trickle charge” for an additional two hours. See
“Reference Information” on page 47 for more information on batteries.
•Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. See “Hardware and accessories”
on page 45 for charging, talk, and standby times.
• PROLONG BATTERY LIFE
For good operation times with NiMH batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by
leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off. Ignore any messages to recharge your
battery and let the battery completely discharge.
Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
• HEADSET
Your phone is compatible with the HDC-5, HDE-2 and HDB-5 headsets.
To connect the headset:
1 Plug the headset jack into the bottom of your phone.
2 Put the earbud into one ear.
With the headset connected, you can make and answer calls as usual.
The microphone for the headset hangs at the side of your head. Although the microphone may
seem far from your mouth, you can speak at a normal volume.
Note: You can set your phone to answer automatically when the headset is
connected. See “Automatic answer” on page 26.
We recommend that you have the following information available before contacting the
Nokia Customer Care Center or the service provider:
•Your billing address ZIP code
•The phone or accessory in question
•Your phone model number—located on the phone type label
•ESN (electronic serial number)—located on the phone type label
The type label is located under the battery inside the back cover. Do not remove or deface
the label.

• GAME SETTINGS
You can turn game sounds and lights on or off.
1 From the menus, select Games > Settings.
2 Select either Game sounds or Game lights.
3 Select either On or Off.
When you are not using a charger, disconnect it from the power source.
When the battery is running out of power and your phone only has a few minutes of talk
time remaining, a warning tone sounds and the Battery low message appears briefly. When
no more talk time is left, a warning tone is sounded and the phone switches itself off.
Battery talk and standby times are estimates only and depend on signal strength, network
conditions, features used, battery age and condition (including the effect of charging habits),
temperatures to which the battery is exposed, use in digital mode, and many other factors.
Please note that the amount of time a phone is used for calls will affect its standby time.
Likewise, the amount of time that the phone is turned on and in standby mode will affect
its talk time.
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is
achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the talk
and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia
approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated
for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave
the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a
fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Temperature extremes can affect the
ability of your battery to charge.
To prolong the battery life of NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by
leaving your device switched on until it turns itself off. Do not attempt to discharge the
battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen,
for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A device with a hot or cold battery may
not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements:
•Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
•When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.
•Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and are
operating properly.
•Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified personnel only.
• ENHANCEMENTS, BATTERIES, AND CHARGERS
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended
for use when supplied with power from ACP-7U, ACP-8U, ACP-12U, and LCH-9 chargers.
Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by Nokia for use with this
particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty,
and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of
small children.
• CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with
care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage and enjoy your
device for many years.
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet,
remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
•Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
•Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
•Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit
boards and fine mechanics.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
•Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
•Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the device and may violate regulations
governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any enhancement.
If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility for service.
• ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your
device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the
device only in its normal operating positions. To maintain compliance with radio frequency
exposure guidelines only use accessories approved by Nokia for use with this device. When
the device is on and being worn on the body, always use an approved carrying case.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your phone in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 in (15.3 cm) be
maintained between a 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. To minimize the potential for
interference, persons with pacemakers should
•Always keep the device more than 6 in (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the device
is switched on
•Not carry the device in a breast pocket
•Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your
device immediately.
HEARING AID
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs,
consult your service provider.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems. For more information, check with
the manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted
and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials
in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped
with an air bag, remember that an air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects,
including 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.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey
all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refuelling
points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone services
to the offender, legal action, or both.
Important: Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio signals,
wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditi ons cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely
on any wireless phone for essential communications like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1 If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
2 Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the phone
for calls.
3 Key in the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers
vary by location.
4 Press the Talk key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can
make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider. When making an
emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Your wireless
phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident. Do not end
the call until given permission to do so.
NOKIA PHONE MODELS MEET 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 the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications 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 measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC 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.
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 government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR values as
reported to the FCC are as follows:
When tested for use at
the ear
Nokia 1220 phone1.19 W/kg1.06 W/kg
Nokia 1221 phone1.19 W.kg1.06 W/kg
Nokia 1260 phone1.23 W/kg1.02 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for these phone models with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information
on these model phones is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID LJPNKC-1X for the Nokia
1220 and Nokia 1221 phones or LJPNKW-1X for the Nokia 1260 phone.
When worn on the body, as
described in this user guide
Reference Information
For body-worn operation, these Nokia phone models have been tested and meet the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum of 7/8-inch (2.2 cm) from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
*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 margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions please look under
product information at www.nokia.com

A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination of
convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the wireless
phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--almost anywhere,
anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with
the police. Each year, Americans make billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the
numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless phone
user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A wireless phone
can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times while driving a
motor vehicle--whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution
and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense---keep your head up, keep your
eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires
obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed limit. It means using
seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a call to
wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when behind the wheel of
a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives, protecting
us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others in need.
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.
Wireless Phone "Safety Tips"
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which should be easy
to remember.
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. Carefully
read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most
phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone
keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone accessories
are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your
wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available
to you.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your wireless phone
within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road.
If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer
it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person
you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic
or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is
heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address
book or business card, or writing a "to do" list while driving a car, you are not watching
where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
60
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip--dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful
or emotional conversations and driving do not mix--they are distracting and even
dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with
aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools
you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations--with your
phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergency.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9 Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you
a perfect opportunity to be a "Good Samaritan" in your community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 91-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are
not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you still can use your
wireless phone to lend a h and. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless
number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard to
everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association
and the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to inform wireless phone
users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens. As we approach a new
century, more and more of us will take advantage of the benefits of wireless telephones. And,
as we take to the roads, we all have a responsibility to drive safely.
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does
not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low
level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies,
or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such
as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless 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, FDA has urged
the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
•Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;
•Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not
necessary for device function; and
•Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on
possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal
level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Safety and Health Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities,
as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC
safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for
safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless
phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are
typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base
stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
64
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas,
often called cell mobile or PCS phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user
to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone
and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission
safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and
safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure
to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing
distance from the source. The so-called cordless phones; which have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered
from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory
animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals
that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be
pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the
animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions
under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results
of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them,
the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or
salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence
of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the
studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone
use in these studies was around three years.
5.What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure
studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would
be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more
years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the
time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during
day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle
at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.

6.What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators
around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address
important questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this
work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the
establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless
phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,
& Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts
to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can get by
using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies. The
FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the
wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of
phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from
wireless phones?
The Institute of Electri cal and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technica l standard
for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,
sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited
in the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small
part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is
used to determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from
my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is
probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time
is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent
using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place
more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless
phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you
are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless
phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the
user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For
example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energ y (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devi ces.
For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are
safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference
occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a accompanied hearing aid at the same
time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
