104BX4170SafetySafetyFDA Consumer UpdateThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices andRadiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that any healthproblems are associated with using wireless phones. There is noproof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wirelessphones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in themicrowave range while being used. They also emit very low levelsof RF when in the standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF canproduce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RFthat does not produce heating effects causes no known adversehealth effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have notfound any biological effects. Some studies have suggested thatsome biological effects may occur, but such findings have not beenconfirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchershave had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determiningthe reasons for inconsistent results.2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wirelessphones?Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before theycan be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However,the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones areshown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require themanufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the healthhazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones so that the hazardno longer exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatoryactions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take anumber of steps, including the following:*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 104
105BX4170●Support needed research into possible biological effects of RFof the type emitted by wireless phones;●Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposureto the user that is not necessary for device function; and●Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the bestpossible information on possible effects of wireless phone useon human health.The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federalagencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety toensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The followingagencies belong to this working group:●National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health●Environmental Protection Agency●Occupational Safety and Health Administration●National Telecommunications and Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates in some interagencyworking group activities, as well.The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones withthe Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that aresold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelinesthat limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other healthagencies for safety questions about wireless phones.The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phonenetworks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higherpower than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposuresthat people get from these base stations are typically thousands oftimes lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questionsdiscussed in this document.*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 105
106BX4170SafetySafety3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phoneswith built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS”phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user tomeasurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that weredeveloped with the advice of the FDA and other federal health andsafety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distancesfrom the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because aperson's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distancefrom the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have abase unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typicallyoperate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposuresfar below the FCC safety limits.4. What are the results of the research done already?The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, andmany studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods.Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequencyenergy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones haveyielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in otherlaboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested thatlow levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer inlaboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showedincreased tumor development used animals that had beengenetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals soas to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RFexposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditionsunder which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know withcertainty what the results of such studies mean for human health.Three large epidemiology studies have been published sinceDecember 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 106
107BX4170possible association between the use of wireless phones andprimary 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 harmfulhealth effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none ofthe studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, sincethe average period of phone use in these studies was around threeyears.5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposurefrom wireless phones poses a health risk?A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies ofpeople actually using wireless phones would provide some of thedata that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could becompleted in a few years. However, very large numbers of animalswould be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promotingeffect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that isdirectly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more yearsfollow-up may be needed to provide answers about some healtheffects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between thetime of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumorsdevelop — if they do — may be many, many years. Theinterpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficultiesin measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wirelessphones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle atwhich the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about thepossible health effects of wireless phone RF?The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program andwith groups of investigators around the world to ensure that highpriority animal studies are conducted to address important questionsabout the effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 107
108BX4170SafetySafetyOrganization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Projectsince its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work hasbeen the development of a detailed agenda of research needs thathas driven the establishment of new research programs around theworld. The project has also helped develop a series of publicinformation documents on EMF issues. The FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formalCooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to doresearch on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientificoversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conductedthrough contracts with independent investigators. The initialresearch will include both laboratory studies and studies of wirelessphone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment ofadditional research needs in the context of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.7. How can I find out how much radio frequency energyexposure I can get by using my wireless phone?All phones sold in the United States must comply with FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. The FCC established theseguidelines in consultation with the FDA and the other federal healthand safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wirelesstelephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 wattsper kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safetystandards developed by the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicEngineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protectionand Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration thebody’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energyfrom the wireless phone and is set well below levels known to haveeffects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RFexposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCCwebsite (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ rfsafety) gives directions forlocating the FCC identification number on your phone so you canfind your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 108
109BX41708. What has the FDA done to measure the radio frequencyenergy coming from wireless phones?The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) isdeveloping a technical standard for measuring the radio frequencyenergy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wirelesshandsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists andengineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determiningthe Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human BodyDue to Wireless Communications Devices: ExperimentalTechniques,” sets forth the first consistent test methodology formeasuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wirelessphone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of thehuman head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected togreatly improve the consistency of measurements made at differentlaboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of theamount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or asmall part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) ofmatter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wirelessphone complies with safety guidelines. 9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do notknow that there is — it is probably very small. But if you areconcerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a fewsimple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a personreceives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phonewill reduce RF exposure.If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phoneevery day, you could place more distance between your body andthe source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramaticallywith distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry thewireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phoneconnected to a remote antenna.*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 109
110BX4170SafetySafetyAgain, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phonesare harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure fromthese products, you can use measures like those described above toreduce 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 wirelessphones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take stepsto lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measuresdescribed above would apply to children and teenagers usingwireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use andincreasing the distance between the user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments haveadvised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones atall. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributedleaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. Theynoted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causesbrain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limitwireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was notbased on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.11. What about wireless phone interference with medicalequipment?Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact withsome electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop adetailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI)of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wirelesstelephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsoredby the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical devicemanufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000.This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiacpacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheldwireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 110
111BX4170sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performancerequirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that nointerference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone anda “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard wasapproved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones forpossible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmfulinterference be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing toassess the interference and work to resolve the problem.12.

10 Driver Safety TipsYour wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voicealmost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies thebenefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using yourwireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense andremember the following tips:1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial andredial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to takeadvantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automaticredial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so youcan use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road. 2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-freewireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether youchoose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speakerphone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you. 3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you placeyour wireless phone within easy reach and where you can reach itwithout removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call atan inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you. 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. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you arereading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list whiledriving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is commonsense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you are readingor writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.112BX4170SafetySafety*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 112
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you arenot moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before youbegin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may bestopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you needto 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 bedistracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix;they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheelof a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and ifnecessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert yourattention from the road.8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one ofthe greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family indangerous situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only threenumbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case offire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is afree call on your wireless phone! 9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wirelessphone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” inyour community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or otherserious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other localemergency number, as you would want others to do for you. 10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistancenumber when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while drivingmay require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call foremergency services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend ahand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, abroken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appearsinjured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance orother special non-emergency wireless number.For more information, please call to 888-901-SAFE, or visit our website www.wow-com.com113BX4170*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 113
114BX4170SafetySafetyConsumer Information on SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements forExposure to Radio Waves. Your wireless phone is a radiotransmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines andestablish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on standards that were developed byindependent scientific organizations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantialsafety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unitof measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR areconducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCCwith the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone whileoperating can be well below the maximum value. Because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use onlythe power required to reach the network, in general, the closer youare to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limitestablished by the government-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for eachmodel. *BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:29 PM Page 114
115BX4170The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use atthe ear is 1.27 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described inthis user guide, is 0.894 W/kg (body-worn measurements differamong phone models, depending upon available accessories andFCC requirements). While there may be differences between SARlevels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safe exposure.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this modelphone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance withthe FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this modelphone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the DisplayGrant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCCID BEJBX4170.
