Technical Details
Important Information
This user’s guide provides important
information on the use and operation
of your phone. Please read all the
information carefully prior to using the
phone for the best performance and
to prevent any damage to or misuse of
the phone. Any unapproved changes or
modifications will void your warranty.
Technical Details
The LG Converse is an all digital phone
that operates on both Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies:
Cellular services at 800 MHz and
Personal Communication Services (PCS)
at 1.9 GHz.
CDMA technology uses a feature
called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum) that enables the phone
to keep communication from being
crossed and to use one frequency
channel by multiple users in the same
specific area. This results in a 10-fold
capacity increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition, features such
14
as soft / softer handoff, hard handoff, and
dynamic RF power control technologies
combine to reduce call interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks
consist of MSO (Mobile Switching
Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base Station Transmission
System), and MS (Mobile Station).
* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A
system and ANSI J-STD-008
Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95.
High-speed data transmission is also
possible.

Troubleshooting
125
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA
Safety Information for wireless handheld
phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone
is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When ON, it receives and
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 Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International
Safety
126
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.
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 available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of your phone complies
with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone
as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Safety
127
Safety
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Don’t 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 otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of wireless phones in the areas
where you drive and always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving,
please observe the following:
Give full attention to driving -- driving
safely is your first responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving
conditions or the law require it.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not
Safety
128
be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
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:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six (6) inches from their
pacemaker 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 potential for interference;
129
Safety
Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
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 it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may
Safety
130
use 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 in any facility
where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone while in the air. Switch OFF your
phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
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
131
Safety
and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area
with a potentially explosive 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
marked clearly. Potential areas may
include: fueling areas (such as gasoline
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 vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air
Bag
An air bag inflates with great force.
Safety
132
DO NOT place objects, including either
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.

deleted due to careless use, repair of
the phone, or upgrade of the software.
Please backup your important phone
numbers. (Ring tones, text messages,
voice messages, pictures, and
videos could also be deleted.) The
manufacturer is not liable for damage
due to the loss of data.
Safety
140
When you use the phone in public
places, set the ringtone to vibration so
you don't disturb others.
Do not turn your phone on or off when
putting it to your ear.
Use accessories, such as earphones
and headsets, with caution. Ensure
that cables are tucked away safely
and do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
Warning! Important safety
information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if
you use your phone and/or headset at a
high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher
volume of sound that may sound normal
but can be damaging to your hearing. If
you experience ringing in your ears or
muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked. The louder the
Safety 141
volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing
experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use your
phone and/or headset at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block
out noisy surroundings.
Turn the volume down if you can’t
hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a
maximum volume limit on your phone,
see the features guide for your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating a
vehicle is not recommended and is
illegal in some areas. Be careful and
attentive while driving. Stop using
your phone if you find it disruptive or
distracting while operating any type of
vehicle or performing any other activity
that requires your full attention.
Using headsets safely
Use of headsets to listen to music while
Safety
142
operating a vehicle is not recommended
and is illegal in some areas. Be careful
and attentive while driving. Stop using
this device if you find it disruptive or
distracting while operating any type of
vehicle or performing any other activity
that requires your full attention.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s
Center for Devices and Radiological
Health Consumer Update on Mobile
Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the
microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF
when in standby mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects
Safety 143
(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 findings have not
been confirmed by additional research.
In some cases, other researchers have
had difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the reasons
for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning
the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the 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 Radio Frequency (RF)
energy at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, the FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless
Safety
144
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 regulatory actions,
the 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.
The FDA belongs to an interagency
working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure
Safety 145
coordinated efforts at the federal level.
The following agencies belong to this
working group:
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
The 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. The FCC relies on the FDA
and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
Safety
146
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 handheld wireless phones with built-
in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”,
or “PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user
to measurable Radio Frequency (RF)
energy because of the short distance
between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC
safety guidelines that were developed
with the advice of the FDA and other
federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the exposure
Safety 147
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 conflicting results, and many
studies have suffered from flaws
in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of
Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures
characteristic of wireless phones have
yielded conflicting 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
Safety
148
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 phones, so
we do not 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 neuroma,
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
Safety 149
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
ten 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 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 difficulties in measuring
Safety
150
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 the FDA doing to find
out more about the possible health
effects of wireless phone RF?
The 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 Radio Frequency (RF)
energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant
in the World Health Organization
International Electro Magnetic Fields
(EMF) Project since its inception
in 1996. An influential 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.
Safety 151
The project has also helped develop a
series of public information documents
on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research And Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do research
on wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research
is conducted through contracts with
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 find out how much Radio
Frequency energy exposure I can get
by using my wireless phone?
Safety
152
All phones sold in the United
States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit Radio Frequency
(RF) energy exposures. The FCC
established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and the other
federal health and safety agencies. The
FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless
phones is set at a Specific 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.fcc.
gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for
Safety 153
locating the FCC identification number
on your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the online
listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure
the Radio Frequency energy coming
from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring
the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
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 Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human
Body Due to Wireless Communications
Devices: Experimental Techniques”,
sets forth the first 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
Safety
154
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 Radio Frequency 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 Radio Frequency (RF)
energy. Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent
Safety 155
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 scientific 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 scientific 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the
Safety
156
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 leaflets 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
scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from
wireless phones can interact with some
Safety 157
electronic devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This test method
is now part of a standard sponsored by
the Association for the Advancement
of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).
The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed
in late 2000. This standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe
from wireless phone EMI.
The 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 specifies test
methods and performance requirements
for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a
person uses a “compatible” phone and
Safety
158
a “compatible” hearing aid at the same
time. This standard was approved by the
IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the
use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference be found
to occur, the FDA will conduct testing
to assess the interference and work to
resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your
first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
Safety
160
1. Get to know your wireless phone and
its features such as speed dial and
redial. Carefully read your instruction
manual and learn to take advantage
of valuable features most phones
offer, including automatic redial and
memory. Also, work to memorize the
phone keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free
device. A number of hands-free
wireless phone accessories are
readily available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted device
for your wireless phone or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where
you can reach it without removing
your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail answer
it for you.
Safety 161
4. Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are
speaking with know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and
ice can be hazardous, but so is
heavy traffic. As a driver, your first
responsibility is to pay attention to the
road.
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. If you
are reading an address book or
business card, or writing a “to-do”
list while driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going. It is
common sense. Do not get caught
in a dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic.
Try to plan your calls before you begin
Safety
162
your trip or attempt to coincide your
calls with times you may be stopped
at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to dial
while driving, follow this simple tip --
dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Stressful or emotional
conversations and driving do not
mix; they are distracting and even
dangerous when you are behind the
wheel of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are driving and
if necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for
help. Your wireless phone is one of
the greatest tools you can own to
protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations -- with your
phone at your side, help is only three
numbers away. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of
Safety 163
fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or
medical emergency. Remember, it’s a
free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help
others in emergencies. Your wireless
phone provides you a perfect
opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan”
in your community. If you see an
auto accident, crime in progress or
other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special
wireless non-emergency assistance
number when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter while
driving may require attention, but are
not urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can
still use your wireless phone to lend
a hand. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a
broken traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one appears
injured or a vehicle you know to
Safety
164
be stolen, call roadside assistance
or other special non-emergency
wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use your
mobile device while operating a vehicle,
it is recommended that you consult
your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws
or other regulations regarding such
use. Such laws or other regulations
may prohibit or otherwise restrict the
manner in which a driver may use his or
her phone while operating a vehicle.
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
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
(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These
FCC exposure limits are derived from
Safety 165
the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on
Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In
both cases, the recommendations
were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological effects
of RF energy.
The exposure Limit for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the
rate of absorption of RF energy by the
human body expressed in units of watts
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety
limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/
kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Safety
166
Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although SAR
is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. Because
the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels 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 certified 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.
This device was tested for typical
Safety 167
body-worn operations with the back of
the phone kept 0.59 inches (1.5 cm)
between the user’s body and the back
of the phone. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.59 inches (1.5
cm) must be maintained between the
user s body and the back of the phone.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic
components should not be used. Body-
worn accessories that cannot maintain
0.59 inches (1.5 cm) 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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the
Safety
168
ear is 0.94 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user’s
manual, is 0.78 W/kg. While there
may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID ZNFAN272.
To find information that pertains to a
particular model phone, this site uses
the phone FCC ID number which is
usually printed somewhere on the case
of the phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack
to find the number. Once you have the
FCC ID number for a particular phone,
follow the instructions on the website
and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for a particular phone.
Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
Safety 169
on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) website 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.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket
01-309 modified the exception of
wireless phones under the Hearing Aid
Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act)
to require digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent
of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable
Safety
170
access to telecommunications services
for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used
near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference
noise, and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has
developed a rating system for wireless
phones, to assist hearing device users
find phones that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all
phones have been rated. Phones that
are rated have the rating on their box or
a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results
will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your
hearing device happens to be vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to
use a rated phone successfully. Trying
out the phone with your hearing device
Safety 171
is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4
meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing
devices than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet
FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing
devices than phones that are not
labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find
this rating. Higher ratings mean that
the hearing device is relatively immune
to interference noise. The hearing aid
and wireless phone rating values are
then added together. A sum of 5 is
considered acceptable for normal use. A
sum of 6 is considered for best use.
Safety
172
In the above example, if a hearing aid
meets the M2 level rating and the
wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal
M5. This is synonymous for T ratings.
This should provide the hearing aid user
with “normal usage” while using their
hearing aid with the particular wireless
phone. “Normal usage” in this context
is defined as a signal quality that is
acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be
synonymous with the U mark. The T
mark is intended to be synonymous
with the UT mark. The M and T marks
are recommended by the Alliance
Safety 173
for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks
are referenced in Section 20.19 of
the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and
measurement procedure are described
in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility rating for your phone is
maintained, secondary transmitters such
as Bluetooth must be disabled during
a call. See Page 62 for instructions to
disable this component.
