Section 14: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using
your phone. These safety precautions should be followed to safely
use your phone.
Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.
These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of
two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation
Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the
biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram
Health and Safety Information 69
Page 74
(W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety
limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection to the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
SAR tests 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 new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone
are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains
no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from
the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
70
Page 75
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this
model phone as reported to the FCC are:
•
Head:
1.00 W/Kg.
•
Body-worn
: 0.56 W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed
online at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea
. To find information that pertains to
a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find
the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone,
follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for
typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional product
specific SAR information can also be obtained at
www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.
Warning Regarding Display
The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and could
break if your handset is dropped or if it receives significant impact.

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series
of Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency
(RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the
following information:
72
Page 77
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 radio frequency 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 socalled "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 well within the FCC's
compliance limits.
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 radio frequency 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 and Safety Information 73
Page 78
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.
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
radio frequency 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.
74
Page 79
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 primary subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
Health and Safety Information 75
Page 80
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 radio frequency
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 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 phones RF exposures.
76
Page 81
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.
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 ten 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 dayto-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.
Health and Safety Information 77
Page 82
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 radio frequency 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 Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,
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.
78
Page 83
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency 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 radio frequency 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.
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 radio frequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and
Health and Safety Information 79
Page 84
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.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF
energy in the head because the phone, which is the 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.
80
Page 85
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that
claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic
accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these
products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike "hand-free"
kits, these so-called "shields" may interfere with proper operation of
the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February
2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies
that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from
radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims.
According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to
substantiate their claim.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. 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
Health and Safety Information 81
Page 86
(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 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
compatible 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.

Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by
voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user
must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using
your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to
place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless
phone with one of the many hands free accessories available
today.
Health and Safety Information 83
Page 88
3.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to
access your wireless phone without removing your eyes from
the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let
your voice mail answer it for you.
4. 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, ice and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through your address
book takes attention away from your primary responsibility,
driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make
a call while moving, 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. Make people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or
medical emergencies.
84
Page 89
9.
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you
see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary. 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 number.

Responsible Listening
Caution!:
Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds
over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played
louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
Health and Safety Information 85
Page 90
(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 noiseinduced 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 potential
hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound produced
by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the
sound, the device settings, and the headphones that are used. As a
result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for
everyone or for every combination of sound, settings and equipment.
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. By blocking
86
Page 91
background environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should allow
you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is
required before you 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.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and
always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or
when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read
its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised
that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety
of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the
antenna pointing over your shoulder if you are using an external
antenna).
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency
(RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult the
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained
between a handheld 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:
Health and Safety Information 89
Page 94
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their
implantable medical device when the phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•
Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the
potential for interference;
•
Should turn the 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.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception
of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988
(HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with
hearing-aids.
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune
90
Page 95
than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label
located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use
a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing
device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings
: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings
: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher
ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values
are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for
normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.
Health and Safety Information 91
Page 96
M3 + M2 = 5
T3 + T2 = 5
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and
the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two
values equal M5. This is synonymous for T ratings. This should
provide the hearing aid user with "normal usage" while using their
hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. "Normal usage" in this
context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal
operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T
mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T
marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in
Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information. Switch your phone off 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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices require you
to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling point
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
Health and Safety Information 93
Page 98
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), 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.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed
functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for
essential communications (medical emergencies, for example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched
on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency
calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when
certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present location (for
example, 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.
94
Page 99
3.
Press the key.
If certain features are in use (call barring, for example), you may first
need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your phone
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an
accident; do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.
Restricting Children's access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it
because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone
or make calls that increase your phone bill.
FCC Notice and Cautions
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop
using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
