This resultsin a 10-fold capacity increase when compared withanalog mode. In addition, features such as soft /softer handoff, hard Handoff, and dynamic RF powercontrol technologies combine to reduce callinterruptions.The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist ofMSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base StationController), BTS (Base Station TransmissionSystem), and MS (Mobile Station). The followingtable lists some major CDMA standards.* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system andANSI J-STD-0081xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers inthe wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twiceas long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission isalso possible.

SAFETY68SAFETYTIA(Telecommunications IndustryAssociation) Safety InformationThe following is the complete TIA Safety Informationfor wireless handheld phones.Exposure to Radio Frequency SignalYour wireless handheld portable phone is a low powerradio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, itreceives and also sends out Radio Frequency (RF)signals. In August, 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelineswith safety levels for handheld wireless phones.Those guidelines are consistent with the safetystandards previously set by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:●ANSI C95.1 (1992) * ●NCRP Report 86 (1986) ●ICNIRP (1996)●Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.Those standards were based on comprehensive andperiodic evaluations of the relevant scientificliterature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers,and physicians from universities, government healthagencies, and industry reviewed the available body ofresearch to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phone complies with the FCCguidelines, IC Regulations (and those standards).Antenna CareUse only the supplied or an approved replacementantenna. Unauthoriaed antennas, modifications, orattachments could damage the phone and mayviolate FCC regulations.Phone OperationNORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you wouldany other telephone with the antenna pointed upand over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient OperationFor your phone to operate most efficiently:Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when thephone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects callquality and may cause the phone to operate at ahigher power level than otherwise needed.DrivingCheck the laws and regulations on the use of wirelessphones in the areas where you drive and always obeythem. Also, if using your phone while driving, pleaseobserve the following:●Give full attention to driving -- driving safely isyour first responsibility;●Use hands-free operation, if available;●Pull off the road and park before making or answeringa call if driving conditions or the law so require.Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded fromRF signals. However, certain electronic equipmentmay not be shielded against the RF signals from yourwireless phone.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Associationrecommends that a minimum separation of six inchesbe maintained between a handheld wireless phoneand a pacemaker to avoid potential interference withthe pacemaker. These recommendations areconsistent with the independent research by andrecommendations of Wireless Technology Research.Persons with Pacemakers:●Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than sixinches from their pacemaker when the phone isturned ON;●Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;●Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker tominimize the potential for interference;●Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there isany reason to suspect that interference is takingplace.69SAFETY
SAFETY70SAFETYHearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with somehearing aids. In the event of such interference, youmay want to consult your service provider (or call thecustomer service line to discuss alternatives.)Optional for each phone manufacturer.Other Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consultthe manufacturer of your device to determine if it isadequately shielded from external RF energy. Yourphysician may be able to assist you in obtaining thisinformation.Health Care FacilitiesTurn your phone OFF in health care facilities whenany regulations posted in these areas instruct you todo so. Hospitals or health care facilities may useequipment that could be sensitive to external RFenergy.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed orinadequately shielded electronic systems in motorvehicles. Check with the manufacturer or itsrepresentative regarding your vehicle. You should alsoconsult the manufacturer of any equipment that hasbeen added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesTurn your phone OFF in any facility where postednotices so require.AircraftFCC and Transport Canada regulations prohibit usingyour phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phonebefore boarding an aircraft.Blasting AreasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turnyour phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areasposted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs andinstructions.
Potentially Explosive AtmosphereTurn your phone OFF when in any area with apotentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signsand instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause anexplosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or evendeath.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere areoften, but not always marked clearly. Potential areasmay include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer orstorage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleumgas (such as propane or butane); areas where the aircontains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust,or metal powders); and any other area where youwould normally be advised to turn off your vehicleengine.For Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagAn air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT placeobjects, including either installed or portable wirelessequipment, in the area over the air bag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipmentis improperly installed and the air bag inflates, seriousinjury could result.Charger and Adapter Safety●The charger and adapter are intended for indooruse only.●Do not expose the battery charger or adapter todirect sunlight or use it in places with highhumidity, such as a bathroom.Battery Information and Care●Please dispose of your battery properly or take itto your local wireless carrier for recycling.●Do not dispose of your battery by fire or withhazardous or flammable materials..●Never use an unapproved battery since this coulddamage the phone and/or battery and couldcause the battery to explode.●The battery does not need to be fully dischargedbefore recharging.●Use only LG-approved chargers specific to yourphone model since they are designed to maximizebattery life.●Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.71SAFETY

Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show thatany health problems are associated with usingwireless phones. There is no proof, however, thatwireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phonesemit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in themicrowave range while being used. They also emitvery low levels of RF when in the Main Menu Screen.Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF thatdoes not produce heating effects causes no knownadverse health effects. Many studies of low level RFexposures have not found any biological effects.Some studies have suggested that some biologicaleffects may occur, but such findings have not beenconfirmed by additional research. In some cases,other researchers have had difficulty in reproducingthose studies, or in determining the reasons forinconsistent results.SAFETY74SAFETY
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety ofwireless phones?Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety ofradiation-emitting consumer products such as wirelessphones before they can be sold, as it does with newdrugs or medical devices. However, the agency hasauthority to take action if wireless phones are shownto emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA couldrequire the manufacturers of wireless phones tonotify users of the health hazard and to repair,replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard nolonger exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justifyFDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged thewireless phone industry to take a number of steps,including the following:●Support needed research into possible biologicaleffects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;●Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes anyRF exposure to the user that is not necessary fordevice function; and●Cooperate in providing users of wireless phoneswith the best possible information on possibleeffects of wireless phone use on human health.The FDA belongs to an interagency working group ofthe federal agencies that have responsibility fordifferent aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinatedefforts at the federal level. The following agenciesbelong to this working group:●National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth●Environmental Protection Agency●Occupational Safety and Health Administration●National Telecommunications and InformationAdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates insome interagency working group activities, as well. The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wirelessphones with the Federal Communications Commission(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United Statesmust comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RFexposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agenciesfor safety questions about wireless phones.75SAFETY
The FCC also regulates the base stations that thewireless phone networks rely upon. While these basestations operate at higher power than do the wirelessphones themselves, the RF exposures that people getfrom these base stations are typically thousands oftimes lower than those they can get from wirelessphones. Base stations are thus not the subject of thesafety questions discussed in this document.3.  What kinds of phones are the subject of thisupdate?The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheldwireless phones with built-in antennas, often called“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types ofwireless phones can expose the user to measurableradiofrequency energy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone and the user’s head.These RF exposures are limited by FCC safetyguidelines that were developed with the advice of theFDA and other federal health and safety agencies.When the phone is located at greater distances fromthe user, the exposure to RF is drastically lowerbecause a person's RF exposure decreases rapidlywith increasing distance from the source. Thesocalled “cordless phones,” which have a base unitconnected to the telephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lower power levels, and thusproduce RF exposures far below the FCC safetylimits.4.  What are the results of the research donealready?The research done thus far has produced conflictingresults, and many studies have suffered from flaws intheir research methods. Animal experimentsinvestigating the effects of radiofrequency energy(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones haveyielded conflicting results that often cannot berepeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,however, have suggested that low levels of RF couldaccelerate the development of cancer in laboratoryanimals. However, many of the studies that showedincreased tumor development used animals that hadbeen genetically engineered or treated withancercausing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed todevelop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Otherstudies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hoursper day. These conditions are not similar to theconditions under which people use wireless phones,so we don’t know with certainty what the results ofSAFETY76SAFETY
such studies mean for human health. Three largeepidemiology studies have been published sinceDecember 2000. Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possible association between theuse of wireless phones and primary brain cancer,glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors ofthe brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or othercancers. None of the studies demonstrated theexistence of any harmful health effects from wirelessphone RF exposures. However, none of the studiescan answer questions about long-term exposures,since the average period of phone use in thesestudies was around three years.5.  What research is needed to decide whether RFexposure from wireless phones poses a healthrisk?A combination of laboratory studies andepidemiological studies of people actually usingwireless phones would provide some of the data thatare needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies couldbe completed in a few years. However, very largenumbers of animals would be needed to providereliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if oneexists. Epidemiological studies can provide data thatis directly applicable to human populations, but 10or more years follow-up may be needed to provideanswers about some health effects, such as cancer.This is because the interval between the time ofexposure to a cancer-causing agent and the timetumors develop — if they do — may be many, manyyears. The interpretation of epidemiological studies ishampered by difficulties in measuring actual RFexposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.Many factors affect this measurement, such as theangle at which the phone is held, or which model ofphone is used.6.  What is the FDA doing to find out more aboutthe possible health effects of wireless phone RF?The FDA is working with the U.S. National ToxicologyProgram and with groups of investigators around theworld to ensure that high priority animal studies areconducted to address important questions about theeffects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).The FDA has been a leading participant in the WorldHealth Organization International ElectromagneticFields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. Aninfluential result of this work has been thedevelopment of a detailed agenda of research needs77SAFETY
that has driven the establishment of new researchprograms around the world. The project has alsohelped develop a series of public informationdocuments on EMF issues. The FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)have a formal Cooperative Research andDevelopment Agreement (CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientificoversight, obtaining input from experts ingovernment, industry, and academic organizations.CTIA-funded research is conducted throughcontracts with independent investigators. The initialresearch will include both laboratory studies andstudies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will alsoinclude a broad assessment of additional researchneeds in the context of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.7.  How can I find out how much radio frequencyenergy exposure I can get by using my wirelessphone?All phones sold in the United States must complywith Federal Communications Commission (FCC)guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF)exposures. The FCC established these guidelines inconsultation with the FDA and the other federalhealth and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RFexposure from wireless telephones is set at a SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with thesafety standards developed by the Institute ofElectrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and theNational Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement. The exposure limit takes intoconsideration the body’s ability to remove heat fromthe tissues that absorb energy from the wirelessphone and is set well below levels known to haveeffects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must reportthe RF exposure level for each model of phone to theFCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCCidentification number on your phone so you can findyour phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.SAFETY78SAFETY
8.  What has the FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless phones?The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE) is developing a technical standard formeasuring the radio frequency energy (RF) exposurefrom wireless phones and other wireless handsetswith the participation and leadership of FDAscientists and engineers. The standard,“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the HumanBody Due to Wireless Communications Devices:Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the firstconsistent test methodology for measuring the rateat which RF is deposited in the heads of wirelessphone users. The test method uses a tissuesimulatingmodel of the human head. Standardized SAR testmethodology is expected to greatly improve theconsistency of measurements made at differentlaboratories on the same phone. SAR is themeasurement of the amount of energy absorbed intissue, either by the whole body or a small part ofthe body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g)of matter. This measurement is used to determinewhether a wireless phone complies with safetyguidelines.9.  What steps can I take to reduce my exposure toradio frequency energy from my wirelessphone?If there is a risk from these products — and at thispoint we do not know that there is — it is probablyvery small. But if you are concerned about avoidingeven potential risks, you can take a few simple stepsto minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposurea person receives, reducing the amount of time spentusing a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If youmust conduct extended conversations by wirelessphone every day, you could place more distancebetween your body and the source of the RF, sincethe exposure level drops off dramatically withdistance. For example, you could use a headset andcarry the wireless phone away from your body or usea wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful. But if you are concernedabout the RF exposure from these products, you canuse measures like those described above to reduceyour RF exposure from wireless phone use.79SAFETY
10.  What about children using wireless phones?The scientific evidence does not show a danger tousers of wireless phones, including children andteenagers. If you want to take steps to lowerexposure to radio frequency energy (RF), themeasures described above would apply to childrenand teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing thetime of wireless phone use and increasing thedistance between the user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored byother national governments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from using wireless phonesat all. For example, the government in the UnitedKingdom distributed leaflets containing such arecommendation in December 2000. They notedthat no evidence exists that using a wireless phonecauses brain tumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wireless phone use bychildren was strictly precautionary; it was not basedon scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.11.  What about wireless phone interference withmedical equipment?Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phonescan interact with some electronic devices. For thisreason, the FDA helped develop a detailed testmethod to measure electromagnetic interference(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators from wireless telephones. This testmethod is now part of a standard sponsored by theAssociation for the Advancement of Medicalinstrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effortby the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and manyother groups, was completed in late 2000. Thisstandard will allow manufacturers to ensure thatcardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe fromwireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aidsfor interference from handheld wireless phones andhelped develop a voluntary standard sponsored bythe Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods andperformance requirements for hearing aids andwireless phones so that no interference occurs whena person uses a “compatible” phone and a“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. Thisstandard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. TheSAFETY80SAFETY
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phonesfor possible interactions with other medical devices.Should harmful interference be found to occur, theFDA will conduct testing to assess the interferenceand work to resolve the problem.12.  Where can I find additional information?            For additional information, please refer to thefollowing resources:FDA web page on wireless phones(http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/phones/index.html)  Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RFSafety Program (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)International Commission on Non-lonizing RadiationProtection (http://www.icnirp.de)World Health Organization (WHO) International EMFProject(http://www.who.int/emf)National Radiological Protection Board (UK)(http://www.nrpb.org.uk/)Consumer Information on SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)This Model Phone Meets the Government’sRequirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Yourwireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. Itis designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission of the U.S. Government. These limitsare part of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on standardsthat were developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. The standardsinclude a substantial safety margin designed toassure the safety of all persons, regardless of ageand health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR areconducted using standard operating positionsspecified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at81SAFETY
its highest certified power level in all testedfrequency bands. AlthoughSAR is determined at thehighest certified power level, the actual SAR level ofthe phone while operating can be well below themaximum value. Because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels to use only thepower required to reach the network, in general, thecloser you are to a wireless base station antenna,the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCCthat it does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as requiredby the FCC for each model.The highest SAR value for this model phone whentested for use at the ear is 1.16 W/kg and whenworn on the body, as described in this user guide, is0.936 W/kg (body-worn measurements differamong phone models, depending upon availableaccessories and FCC/IC requirements). While theremay be differences between SAR levels of variousphones and at various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safe exposure. TheFCC has granted an Equipment Authorization forthis model phone with all reported SAR levelsevaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFemission guidelines. SAR information on this modelphone is on file with the FCC and can be foundunder the Display Grant section ofhttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching onFCC ID BEJAX490. Additional information onSpecific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found onthe Cellular Telecommunications IndustryAssociation (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com.*   In the United States and Canada, the SAR limitfor mobile phones used by the public is 1.6watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.The standard incorporates a substantial margin ofsafety to give additional protection for the publicand to account for any variations in measurements.SAFETY82SAFETY
