Are wireless devices safe? Scientic research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency (“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it states that, while research is ongoing, “available scientic evidence—including World Health Organization [“WHO”] ndings [in the Interphone study] released May 17, 2010—shows no increased health risk due to radiofrequency (RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by cell phones.” The FDA also cites a separate National Cancer Institute program nding that, despite the dramatic increase in cell phone use, occurrences of brain cancer did notincrease between 1987 and 2005. You can access the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm212273.htm. You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. The FCC has its own website publication stating that “[t]here is no scientic evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) states that concerns about the potential health eects of using cellular phones—“and specically the suggestion that
9using a cell phone may increase a person’s risk of developing brain cancer—are not supported by a growing body of research on the subject.” You can access NCI’s review of the research at http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_Bulletin_092308/page7. The WHO’s Interphone study is the largest study of cell phone use and brain tumors ever undertaken. WHO summarized its conclusions concerning Interphone as follows: “Overall, no increase in risk of glioma or meningioma was observed with use of mobile phones. There were suggestions of an increased risk of glioma at the highest exposure levels, but biases and error prevent a causal interpretation. The possible eects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones require further investigation.” The WHO’s comments on Interphone are available at: http://www.iarc.fr/en/mediacentre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf. WHO’s publication of Interphone is available at http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/ije/press_releases/freepdf/dyq079.pdf; see also, Interphone Appendix 1 (http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/data/dyq079/DC1/1), and Appendix 2 (http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/data/dyq079/DC1/2).2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless devices? Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless devices before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless devices 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 devices to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the devices so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientic data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless device industry to take a number of steps, including thefollowing: • Support needed research into possible biological eects of RF of the type emitted by wireless devices. • Design wireless devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function.• Cooperate in providing users of wireless devices with the best possible
10information on possible eects of wireless device use on human health. FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for dierent aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated eorts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group: • National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health • Environmental Protection Agency • Federal Communications Commission • Occupational Safety and Health Administration • National Telecommunications and Information Administration The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless devices with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All devices 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 devices.FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless device networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless devices themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless devices. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document. 3. What kinds of devices are the subject of this update? The term “wireless device” refers here to hand-held wireless devices with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” devices. These types of wireless devices can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the device 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 device 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 devices," which have a base unit
11connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance 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 suered from aws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the eects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless devices 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 pre-disposed 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 devices, 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 devices and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health eects from wireless device RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of device use in these studies was around three years. 5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless devices poses a health risk? A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless devices 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 eect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
12that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health eects, 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 hampered by diculties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless devices. Many factors aect this measurement, such as the angle at which the device is held, or which model of device is used. 6. What is FDA doing to nd out more about the possible health eects of wireless device 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 eects 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 device 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 device 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 wire-less device? All devices sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
13Commission (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 device and is set well below levels known to have eects. Manufacturers of wireless devices must report the RF exposure level for each model of device to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identication number on your device so you can nd your device’s RF exposure level in the online listing. 8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless devices ? The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless devices 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 device 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 dierent laboratories on the same device. 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 device complies with safety guidelines. 9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless device? If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that
14there 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 device will reduce RF exposure. • If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless device every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops o dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless device away from your body or use a wireless device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientic data do not demonstrate that wireless devices 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 device use. 10. What about children using wireless devices? The scientic evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless devices, 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 devices. Reducing the time of wireless device 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 devices 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill eects. Their recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientic evidence that any health hazard exists. 11. What about wireless device interference with medical equipment?Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless devices can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to
15measure 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 eort 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 device EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless devices 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 devices so that that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” device 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 devices 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.12. Where can I nd additional information?For additional information, please refer to the following resources: • FDA web page on wireless devices (http://www.fda.gov/cellphones) • Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (http://www.icnirp.de) • World Health Organization (WHO) International EMF Project (http://www.who.int/emf) • National Radiological Protection Board (UK) (http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/)
16AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSSProlonged 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 hearing could be aected. • 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 mued speech or experience any temporary hearing diculty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Verizon Wireless provides PSAPs that have upgraded their equipment with what's known as Enhanced 911 or E911 service, which, through your GPS-capable device, automatically provides call takers with the telephone number and information on the estimated location of the 911 caller to assist them in dispatching emergency assistance. The most advanced form of E911 service is referred to as Phase 2.What is a GPS-capable device, and why is it so important for E911? Verizon Wireless’ Phase 2 E911 location technology is built into the device; GPS-capable devices rely on signals from the Federal Government's Global Positioning System satellites to help estimate location when you make a 911 call. Verizon Wireless' location-based technology provides the most accurate capability over varied terrain, and is generally capable of estimates within 50 to 150 meters in most cases.GPS-capable devices have an embedded chipset that will help provide location information to a PSAP when a caller dials 911. The device itself is not a stand-alone GPS device, and does not support or initiate any kind of individual tracking capability. The location-determining capability becomes functional after dialing 911 when the network is prompted to determine the handset's location. Since the Home Phone Connect Adaptor is designed for an indoor environment, please be prepared to provide your location inside the premises to a PSAP. The GPS chipset embedded in this device will work best if the device is located near a window or other opening.
20Where is E911 available? Verizon Wireless’ Enhanced 911 service works only where PSAPs have upgraded their equipment/systems to be able to read and use the Enhanced 911 location data. If interested, customers should contact their local or state elected ocials to nd out if the PSAP serving their town/city has updated their systems to use the Enhanced 911 information or when wireless E911 service will be available in their area. What happens when I dial 911? Upon dialing 911, calls are routed and answered according to guidelines set by local public safety ocials in your area. For example, some PSAPs answer emergency calls centrally for their entire state, others for their county or town. Most transfer calls or dispatch a responder nearest the emergency.Verizon Wireless provides enhanced location information to emergency call takers but it cannot guarantee your precise location. Wireless phones and other wireless devices are radios and can react to the environment. Rain, snow, fog, falling leaves, water, mountains, canyons and buildings may aect service. And in some places Public Safety call takers still rely only on the caller's descriptions to locate and dispatch help to people in emergency situations.Note: Please note that a power service outage may prevent all Service, including the completion of a 911 call if your home phone relies on external power. The Home Phone Connect device is equipped with battery backup (refer to Section 3 for details). A power failure or disruption may require you to reset or recongure the Device and other equipment prior to utilizing the Service or any 911 emergency response service.Neither Verizon Wireless nor any of its aliates shall be liable for any service outage and/or inability to access emergency service personnel, nor shall Verizon Wireless or any of its aliates be responsible for the acts or omissions of emergency response center personnel.
