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 ener gy.

The exposure limit set by the FCC for wire les s m o bile 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 (W/kg).

The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg ). T he FCC exposure limit incorpor ates a sub stantial m argin o f 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 freq uen c y 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 powe r 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 certifie d to th e 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. The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are:

GSM1900 Head: 0.331 W/Kg, Body-worn: 0.281 W/ Kg.For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines whenused with a Samsung accessory designated for this product or when u sed with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions ma y r esu lt in vio latio n o f FCC RF exposure guidelines.SAR info rmation on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line at www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID number , A3LSGHE740. 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 S A R for a particular phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/ sar.

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Ques tio n s a n d A n sw e rs for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure

from wireless phones. The F D A p ub lic atio n inclu d e s the following information:

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 t ypes of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable ra dio frequency energy (RF) because of the short dist an ce between the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Fe de ral Communications Commission safety guideline s that w ere de velope d with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is locat ed at g re a te r distances from the user, the expo su r e to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called °×cordless ph ones,°± which h ave a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well with in th e FC C 's compliance limits.

Health and safety information

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 wir ele ss phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit ve ry low le ve ls 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 d oe s no t 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 resu lts .

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 phon es are show n to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level th at is hazardous to the user. In such a case , FD A could require the manufacturers of wi re les s p h on e s to no tify 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 possib le effects of wireless phone use on human health.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have re spo n sib ility fo r differ en t 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 FD A and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless pho n e

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 ty p ica lly th o u sa n d s of ti m e s lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discus sed in this document.

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 r adio frequ en cy en ergy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, howeve r, have suggested that low lev e ls 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. Oth er studies exposed the

Health and safety information

animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the co ndition s under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the result s of su c h stud ie s 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 g land, leukemia, or oth er cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phones RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about lo ng-te rm ex posur es, sinc e 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 stud ies 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. Epidemiologica l studie s 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 b etween 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 epid e m io log ic al stu die s 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.

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 To xicology 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 freque ncy en ergy (RF).F DA has been a leading participant in the W o rld H ealth Organization international Electro magnetic Field s (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 in clu de b ot h 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.

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 v ery sm all. 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 exp o su r e a pe rs on re ce iv es, 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 dramatic ally 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.

Health and safety information

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 reduc e your RF exposure from wireless phone use.

What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not s how a dang er to users of wireless phones, including children and teenage rs. 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 increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF expo sure.Some groups spon sored 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 ca use s brain tumors or other ill effects. Their re co mmendation 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. Handsfree kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfo rt. These system s reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF em is sio n s, w ill 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 w he t he r t hey are u s ed against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in com p liance with t he safety limit.

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 redu c e r isk s . So m e p ro duc t s t ha t claim to shield the user from RF absorptio n use s p ecial phone cases, while others involv e not hin g m ore th an a metallic accessory attached to the ph on e. St ud ies have shown that these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike °×hand -fre e° ± k its , th e se so -called °×shields°± may interfere w ith p rop e r o pe r at ion o f 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 me th o d to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test met h od is n ow 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 st and ard 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 fo r pos sib le interactions with other medical d evice s . Shou ld harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and
