General information ...................

Protection against theft

Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial number) shown on
the packaging label and in the product’s memory. We recommend that
you note the number the first time you use your telephone by entering *
# 0 6 # and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by the police or
your operator if your telephone is stolen. This number allows your mobile
telephone to be blocked preventing a third person from using it, even with
a different SIM card.

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your T-Mobile® 665. The manu­facturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or
use contrary to the instructions contained herein.

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:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Repor t 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientic
literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C951).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

ANTENNA SAFETY

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modications,
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 rst. Check the laws 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rstresponsibility.

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.

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

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
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

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE

WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING

CAUTIONS

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 bod-

59 60

ies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

BODY-WORN OPERATION

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 2 cm.
from the body. To maintain compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar ac­cessories that maintain a 2 cm separation distance between the user’s Body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov

SAR INFORMATION

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (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 scientic organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientic 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
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are
conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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 certied 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when
tested is 0.787 W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.871 W/Kg for use close to the body. While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
FCC ID: RAD 155
The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a 2 cm
separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain
no metallic components.
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 le with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on JYCBLADE.
Additional information on Specic Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecom­munications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/
kg (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.

HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
PCD’S COMMITMENT

PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benets of digital wireless
technologies. We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices for our customers
who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4

WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?

The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to
enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications
devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth
in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI stand­ards with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interfer­ence making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone,
and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode
thus reducing unwanted background noise.

HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID
COMPATIBLE?

The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has
an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for induc­tive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technolo­gies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that
have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to tr y the different features of
this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to
determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider about its return and
exchange policies and for information on hearing aid compatibility.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR
DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?

You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with
your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent
to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and
whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

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 scientic 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 idle 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
ndings have not been conrmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had
difculty 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 scientic 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 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. 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 conicting results, and many studies have suffered from
aws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conicting 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 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

63 64

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 difculties 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 nd 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 inuential 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 sci­entic 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.

7. How can I nd 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 Specic 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.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index, select
Cell Phones > Research)) gives directions for locating the FCC identication number on your
phone so you can nd 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 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 Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) in the
Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the
rst 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 scientic 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 scientic 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 leaets 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 scientic evidence that any health hazard exists.

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 debrillators from wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The nal 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 debrillators 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 species
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

65 66

the problem.

AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSS

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable
hearing loss. Some scientic 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:

•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
