Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (l.6cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separa- tion distance of 0.6 inches (l.6cm) must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories containing metallic components shall not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.6 inch (l.6cm) separation distance between the user's body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov 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 hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and interna- tional standards bodies: ANSIC95. I (1992)' NCRP Report 86 (1986) ICIMIRP( 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 avail- able body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a handsfree kit with your phone (such as an earpiece or headset) to avoid potential exposure to RF energy.

Acer Acton Mobile Phone -- 7 When you encounter problems while using your mobile phone, please refer to the following table to solve the problem. If problem persists, please contact your dealer immediately for service. Poor signal recep- tion Echo or noise The standby time becomes short Unable to power on You are using your mobile phone in a location (e.g. in the basement or building) where signal is weak. You are using your mobile phone in a peak-demand time (e.g. the rush hour). You are too far from the base station of your net- work service provider. Due to the quality of the network trunk of your net- work service provider. Poor local telephone line q ua I ity. The standby time can depend on the system set- tings of your network ser- vice provider. The battery may be at the end of its service life. If the phone can not get connected to a network, it will continue searching for the signal from the base station, which consumes battery capacity. The battery is drained. Move to a location where sig- nal can be better received. Make your call later. You can ask your network ser- vice provider for a service range map. Hang up the phone and then dial again. You can be switched to a better-quality network trunk or line. If you are in a location where the signal is weak, turn off your phone temporarily. Use a new battery. Change your location or turn off your phone temporarily. Recharge the battery.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards). Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations. NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently: Extend your antenna fully. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than other- wise needed. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless tele- 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 Use hands-free operation, if available; Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if responsibility; driving conditions so require. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Pacemakers
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The follow- ing summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown-- about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This informa- tion may be used to respond to questions. Why the concern? Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radio frequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radio frequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological dam- age through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile phones. What kinds of phones are in question? Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone's antenna--the primary source of the RF-- and the person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person's RF expo- sure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called "cordless phones,'' which have a base unit con- nected to the telephone wiring in a house and which operate at
Acer Acton Mobile Phone -\ Your phone is a delicate electronic device and should be used and handled carefully in compliance with the instructions below. Failure to observe these instructions may void your product war- ra nty. Do not use your phone in dusty and humid areas. Your phone is extremely vulnerable to liquid and sand grains can scratch the surface of your phone. Do not store your phone in extremely hot or cold areas. Heat can cause damage to both the outer case and com- ponents inside the phone. In an extremely cold area, moisture can form inside the phone after you turn on your phone and it can damage the components inside. Do not drop, shake or knock your phone. This will cause damage to the components and circuits of the phone. Do not use strong detergents, thinners or other corrosive liquid to clean your phone. Instead, use a clean, lint-free and slightly dampened cloth. When you do so, keep water from getting inside the phone. Keep your phone, batteries and accessories away from reach of small children. Use only supplied or approved replacement antenna and accessories. Unapproved antenna and accessories can cause damage to your phone and your health. Follow the safety instructions as set forth at the beginning of this manual.
Posted Facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices require you to do so. FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. 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. Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explo- sive 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 gaso- line 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 vehi- cle engine. For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

these resu1ts.l When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, how- ever, an association was found between mobile phone use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Insti- tute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormali- ties, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up research is necessary? FDA is currently working with government, industry, and aca- demic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these indus- try-funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Associa tion (CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research recommenda- tions and scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such recommendations. Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature: Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they per-
You can store three emergency numbers in the emergency num- ber list. When the phone is locked, only numbers that match the numbers in the emergency number list can be dialed. To add an emergency number: Press “Select” soft key and the screen shows the emer- gency number stored in the memory. If the memory is empty, “Empty” will be displayed. Press A or V on the scroll key to scroll the location of the emergency number (1, 2 or 3), then press “Select“ soft key to start entering the number. When completed, press “Select” soft key. To add more emergency numbers, repeat the steps above.
far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been ques- tioned. How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful? Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the develop- ment of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice geneti- cally altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day. For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit additional study: In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was found between mobile phone use and acous- tic neuroma. There was also no association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted that the aver- age length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less than three years.

appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as well as the follow- up research to be sponsored by industry, will begin to generate this type of information. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of mobile phones? Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emit- ting consumer products such as mobile phones before market- ing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile 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 regula- tory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone indus- try to take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has recommended that the industry: support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by mobile phones; design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device func- tion ; and cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health. At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are: Environmental Protection Agency Federal Communications Commission National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Occupational Health and Safety Administration

formed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in the subjects' ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change noted among more than 20 variables compared? In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched con- trols, there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased like- lihood was too small to be statistically significant! In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA con- tinues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones. What is known about cases of human cancer that have been reported in users of hand-held mobile phones? Some people who have used mobile phones have been diag- nosed with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. popula- tion at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about I million per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any individual's cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones among peo- ple with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among

National Telecommunications and Information Administra- tion The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group. In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk, what can concerned individuals do? 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 people are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on conven- tional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations when other types of phones are not available. People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could switch to: a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the ve hicle, a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built into a separate package, or a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofre- quency energy from these products, taking the simple precau- tions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
