7 Safety and Warranty
This chapter addresses the safety guidelines and precautions to
follow when operating your phone. Before operating your phone,
please be aware of all the safety details. This chapter contains
the terms and conditions of services and the warranty for your
phone. Please review them thoroughly.
7.1 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD
PHONES
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
HANDHELDPORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
16
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the availablebody of research
to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
1* : American National Standards Institute.
2* : National Council on Radiation protection and measurements.
3* : International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection.
ANTENNA SAFETY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair
call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC
regulations. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is
illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws
17
and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first
responsibility.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if
driving conditions so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed
dialing, and auto answer
modes. An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.Most
modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must
be restricted in certain situations.
18
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss
19
alternatives).
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
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
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
20
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your
phone OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain
prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative
before using your phone aboard an aircraft. Always follow the
instructions of the airline representative whenever using your phone
aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne
electronic equipment.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
21

7.2 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
22
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The
design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
7.5 FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION CENTER FOR
DEVICES AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH CONSUMER UPDATE
ON WIRELESS PHONES
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
23
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
24
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 inter-agency
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.
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.
25
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 predisposed to
develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies
26
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 neu-roma, 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
27
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 & 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
28
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

8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy
coming from wireless phones ?
29
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical 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.
30
• 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.
31
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency 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
(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 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.

7.6 AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSS
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (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 noise-induced 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 other potential
hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings
and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense
recommendations when using any portable audio device:
33
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.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less
time is required before your 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.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone 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.
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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.42
40
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.737 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 this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: U46-CDM2030.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use
with an accessory that contains no metal and the 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. If you do
no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum
of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
