SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS DEVICE
Read this information before using your wireless device.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Power o your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device
when usage causes danger or interference with electronic devices.
MEDICAL DEVICE
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do
not use your device when using the device is prohibited.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 5.9
inches be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential
interference with the pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device
on the opposite side of the pacemaker.
• Some wireless devices may aect the performance of hearing aids. For any
such problems, consult your service provider.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Power o your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and
comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive
atmospheres include the areas where you would normally be advised to turn o
your vehicle engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or a re, resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not power on your device
at refueling points such as service stations. Comply with restrictions on the use
of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical
plants. In addition, adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are
in progress. Before using the device, watch out for areas that have potentially
explosive atmospheres that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such
locations include areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liqueed
4
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) whether this device can be safely used
in their vicinity.

FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
CELL DEVICE FACTS
CONSUMER INFORMATION ON WIRELESS DEVICES
1. Are wireless devices safe?
Scientic 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 scientic
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 scientic 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 eects of using cellular phones—“and specically the suggestion that
9
using 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 eects 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 scientic data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA
has urged the wireless device industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
• Support needed research into possible biological eects 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
10
information on possible eects of wireless device use on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have
responsibility for dierent aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated eorts 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
11
connected 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 conicting results, and many studies
have suered from aws in their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the eects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of
wireless devices have yielded conicting 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 eects 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 eect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
12
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-
up may be needed to provide answers about some health eects, 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 diculties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless devices. Many factors aect
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 eects 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 eects 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 inuential
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 scientic 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
13
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 Specic 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
eects. 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 identication 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 Specic 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 dierent 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
14
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 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
scientic 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 scientic 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 leaets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using
a wireless device causes brain tumors or other ill eects. Their recommendation to
limit wireless device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based
on scientic 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
15
measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and
debrillators 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 eort 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 debrillators 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 species 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.

16
AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSS
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause
of preventable hearing loss. Some scientic 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 aected.
• 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 mued speech or experience any temporary hearing
diculty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and
consult your doctor.

Emergency Calling
Emergency calls to 911 are routed to designated emergency call takers, often local
or county police, re and rescue departments, known as Public Safety Answering
Points or PSAPs. 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.
20
Where 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 ocials 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 ocials 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 aect 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 recongure
the Device and other equipment prior to utilizing the Service or any 911
emergency response service.
Neither Verizon Wireless nor any of its aliates shall be liable for any service
outage and/or inability to access emergency service personnel, nor shall
Verizon Wireless or any of its aliates be responsible for the acts or omissions of
emergency response center personnel.
