Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standardpreviously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. Thedesign of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and theseinternational standards.Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized anten-nas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damagethe phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antennacomes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Pleasecontact your local dealer for replacement antenna.DisclaimerCopyrightFCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATIONWarning! Read this information before using yourphone
Body-worn OperationThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations with   theback of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5cm) from the body. To complywith FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distanceof 0.6 inches (1.5cm) must be maintained between the user's body andthe back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended orretracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories con-taining metallic components shall not be used. Body-worn accessoriesthat cannot maintain 0.6 inch (1.5cm) separation distance between theuser’s body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested fortypical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposurelimits and should be avoided.For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC web-site at www.fcc.govYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radiotransmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sendsout radio frequency (RF) signals.In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wire-less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standardspreviously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:ANSIC95.1 (1992)'NCRP Report 86 (1986)ICIMIRP(1996)Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-tions of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scien-tists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government healthagencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research todevelop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). Nevertheless, we recommendthat you use a handsfree kit with your phone (such as an earpiece orheadset) to avoid potential exposure to RF energy.Exposure to radio frequency signals
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (andthose standards).Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unautho-rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage thephone and may violate FCC regulations.NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other tele-phone with the antenna pointedup and over your shoulder.TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate mostefficiently:• 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 thephone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones inthe areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using yourphone while driving, please:• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibil-ity;• Use hands-free operation, if available;• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if drivingconditions so require.Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. How-ever, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RFsignals from your wireless phone.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that aminimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a hand-Antenna carePhone operationDrivingElectronic devices

These recommendations are consistent with theindependent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technol-ogy Research.Persons with pacemakers:• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from theirpacemaker when the phone is turned ON;• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the poten-tial for interference.• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,turn your phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. Inthe event of such interference, you may want to consult your serviceprovider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.Other Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac-turer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded fromexternal RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtain-ing this information.Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulationsposted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health carefacilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to externalRF energy.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shieldedelectronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer orits representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult themanufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesTurn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices require youto do so.
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. SwitchOFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFFwhen 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 explosiveatmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areascould cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or evendeath.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but notalways clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline sta-tions; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facili-ties; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane orbutane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such asgrain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you wouldnormally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.For Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagAn air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, includingboth 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 baginflates, serious injury could result.AircraftBlasting areasPotentially explosive atmospheresFDA Consumer Update on Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones,including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizeswhat is known--and what remains unknown--about whether theseproducts can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to mini-mize any potential risk. This information may be used to respond toquestions.Why the concern?Mobile phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. Theyalso emit very low levels of radio frequency energy (RF), considerednon-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that highlevels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects(this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, itis not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism,lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Althoughsome research has been done to address these questions, no clearpicture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emergedto date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude thatmobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However,the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adversehealth 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 kindthat have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's headduring normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phonesare of concern because of the short distance between the phone'santenna--the primary source of the RF--and the person's head. Theexposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located atgreater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example)is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a per-son's RF exposure 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 farlower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phonesmight 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 studiesthat have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their researchmethods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF expo-sures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results.A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RFcould accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. Inone study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developingone type of cancer developed more than twice as many such cancerswhen they were exposed to RF energy compared to controls. Thereis much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtainedfrom animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it isuncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice tohumans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumordevelopment used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RFvirtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day.For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industryhas supported research into the safety of mobile phones. Thisresearch has resulted in two findings in particular that merit additionalstudy:In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for anassociation between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type ofbrain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nervesheath). No statistically significant association was found betweenmobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no asso-ciation between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types oftypes of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted thatthe average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was lessthan three years. When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, anassociation was found between mobile phone use and one raretype of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible withmultiple comparisons of the same sample that this associationoccurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with howoften the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact,the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phoneuse. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased expo-sure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer
Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability ofthese results.1 Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests toassess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on geneticmaterial. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities,including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strandbreaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of bloodcells called lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect ofthe RF except for the micronucleus assay, which detects structuraleffects on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showedchanges after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but onlyafter 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the testcells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay isknown to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused theabnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on theresponse of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, fol-low-up research is necessary.2 FDA is currently working with government, industry, and aca-demic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular Tele-communications and Internet Association (CTIA) in particular isexpected to lead to FDA providing research recommendationsand scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based onsuch recommendations.Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in theliterature:Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobilephone signals under laboratory conditions while they performedcognitive function tests. There were no changes in the subjects'ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatialmemory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in onevisual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phonesignals. This was the only change noted among more than 20 vari-ables compared.3 In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls,there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated withmobile 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 asmall number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small tobe statistically significant.4 In summary, we do not have enough information at this point toassure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident healthproblems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues towork with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, toassure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answersto the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.What is known about cases of human cancer that have beenreported in users of hand-held mobile phones?Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed withbrain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of canceralso occurs among people who have not used mobile phones. In fact,brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about 6 newcases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 millionusers of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 mil-lion per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expectedeach year among those 80 million people, whether or not they usedtheir phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any individual'scancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have hap-pened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particu-lar form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phonesthan among the rest of the population. One way to answer that ques-tion is to compare the usage of mobile phones among people withbrain cancer with the use of mobile phones among appropriatelymatched people without brain cancer. This is called a case-controlstudy. The current case-control study of brain cancers by the NationalCancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored byindustry, 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-emittingconsumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as itdoes with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency hasauthority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiationat a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA couldrequire the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the
health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that thehazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific data does not justify FDA regulatoryactions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to takea number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has recom-mended 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 function ; and • cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possi-ble 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 ofthe federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects ofmobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federallevel. These agencies are:• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health • Environmental Protection Agency • Federal Communications Commission • Occupational Health and Safety Administration • National Telecommunications and Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk, whatcan concerned individuals do?If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do notknow that there is--it is probably very small. But if people are con-cerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps theycan take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how muchexposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periodsof time on their hand-held mobile phones could consider holdinglengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations when othertypes of phones are not available.People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars everyday could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distancebetween their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they couldswitch to:• a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle, • 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 does not demonstrate that mobile phonesare harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequencyenergy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlinedabove can reduce any possible risk.Where can I find additional information?For additional information, see the following websites:Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program(select "Information on Human Exposure to RF Fields from Cellularand PCS Radio Transmitters"): http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety World Health Organization (WHO) International Commission onNon-Ionizing Radiation Protection (select Qs & As): http://www.who.int/emf United Kingdom, National Radiological Protection Board: http://www.nrpb.org.uk 1.
