FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before

operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) of the United States, with

its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326,

adopted an updated safety standard for

human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)

electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC

regulated transmitters. Those guidelines

are consistent with the safety standard

previously set by both U.S. and international

standards bodies. The design of this phone

complies with the FCC guidelines and these

international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with

the back of the phone kept 0.39 inches

(1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with

FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum

separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0

cm) must be maintained between the

user’s body and the back of the phone,

including the antenna, whether extended

or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,

and similar accessories containing metallic

components may not be used. Avoid the

use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39

inches (1.0 cm) distance between the user’s

body and the back of the phone and have

not been tested for compliance with FCC RF

exposure limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements,

keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the user /

bystander and vehicle-mounted external

antenna. For more information about RF

exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.

gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of

unauthorized antennas (or modifications

to the antenna) could impair call quality,

damage the phone, void your warranty and/

or violate FCC regulations.

Don't use the phone with a damaged

antenna. A damaged antenna could cause a

minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for

a replacement antenna.

Consumer Information About

Radio Frequency Emissions

Your wireless phone, which contains a

radio transmitter and receiver, emits

radio frequency energy during use.

The following consumer information

addresses commonly asked questions

about the health effects of wireless

phones.

Are wireless phones safe?

Scientific 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, “The scientific

community at large … believes that the

weight of scientific evidence does not

show an association between exposure to

radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and

adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific

community does recommend conducting

additional research to address gaps in

knowledge. That research is being conducted

around the world and FDA continues to

monitor developments in this field. You

can access the joint FDA/FCC website at

http://www.fda.gov (under “c”in the subject

index, select Cell Phones > Research). You

can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888)

463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000,

the FDA entered into a cooperative research

and development agreement through

which additional scientific research is being

conducted. The FCC issued its own website

publication stating that “there is no scientific

evidence that proves that wireless phone

usage can lead to cancer or a variety of 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.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and

other agencies, established RF exposure

safety guidelines for wireless phones in

the United States. Before a wireless phone

model is available for sale to the public, it

must be tested by the manufacturer and

certified to the FCC that it does not exceed

limits established by the FCC. One of these

limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption

Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate

of absorption of RF energy in the body.

Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone

transmitting at its highest power level in

all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the

FCC has required that the SAR of handheld

wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per

kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.

Although the SAR is determined at the

highest power level, the actual SAR value of

a wireless phone while operating can be less

than the reported SAR value. This is because

the SAR value may vary from call to call,

depending on factors such as proximity to

a cell site, the proximity of the phone to the

body while in use, and the use of hands-free

devices. For more information about SARs,

see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at

http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_

Technology/Documents/bulletins or visit

the Cellular Telecom munications Industry

Association website at http://www.ctia.org/

consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You

may also wish to contact the manufacturer of

your phone.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there

are several simple steps you can take to

minimize your RF exposure. You can, of

course, reduce your talk time. You can place

more distance between your body and the

source of the RF, as the exposure level drops

off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC

website states that “hands-free kits can be

used with wireless phones for convenience

and comfort. These systems reduce the

absorption of RF energy in the head because

the phone, which is the source of the RF

emissions, will not be placed against the

head. On the other hand, if the phone is

mounted against the waist or other part of

the body during use, then that part of the

body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless

phones marketed in the U.S. are required

to meet safety requirements regardless of

whether they are used against the head or

against the body. Either configuration should

result in compliance with the safety limit.”

Also, if you use your wireless phone while in

a car, you can use a phone with an antenna

on the outside of the vehicle. You should

also read and follow your wireless phone

manufacturer’s instructions for the safe

operation of your phone.

Do wireless phones pose any special risks

to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the

scientific evidence does not show a danger

to users of wireless communication devices,

including children.” The FDA/FCC website

further states that “some groups sponsored

by other national governments have advised

that children be discouraged from using

wireless phones at all”. For example, the

Stewart Report from the United Kingdom

[“UK”] made such a recommendation in

December 2000. In this report a group of

independent experts noted that no evidence

exists that using a cell phone causes

brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s]

recommendation to limit cell phone use by

children was strictly precautionary; it was

not based on scientific evidence that any

health hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet

is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search

“mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton,

Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom.

Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile

phones and RF are available online at www.

iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/

radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish

to reduce their children’s RF exposure may

choose to restrict their children’s wireless

phone use.

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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the

Federal Communications Commission

of the U.S. Government. These limits are

part of comprehensive guidelines and

establish permitted levels of RF energy for

the general population. The guidelines are

based on standards that were developed by

independent scientific organizations through

periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific

studies. The standards include a substantial

safety margin designed to assure the safety

of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile

phones employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.

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.

The highest SAR value for this model phone

when tested for use at the ear is 0.00 W/kg

and when worn on the body, as described

in this user guide, is 0.00 W/kg (body-worn

measurements differ among phone models,

depending upon available accessories and

FCC requirements). While there may be

differences between SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, they all

meet the government requirement for safe

exposure.

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. 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 ZNFXXXX Additional information

on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be

found 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 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 to 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 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.

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 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’s

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 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.

When you're talking over the cell phone, it's

recommended you'd turn the BT (Bluetooth)

or WLAN mode off for HAC.

This phone has been tested and rated for use

with hearing aids for some of the wireless

technologies that it uses. However, there

may be some newer wireless technologies

used in this phone that have not been

tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is

important to try the different features of this

phone thoroughly and in different locations,

using your hearing aid or cochlear implant,

to determine if you hear any interfering

noise. Consult your service provider or the

manufacturer of this phone for information

on hearing aid compatibility. If you have

questions about return or exchange policies,

consult your service provider or phone

retailer.

Caution:

Avoid potential hearing loss.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds

(including music) is the most common cause

of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific

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 affected.

● 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 muffled speech or

experience any temporary hearing

difficulty after listening to your portable

audio device, discontinue use and consult

your doctor.

Wi-Fi Caution

This device is capable of operating in

802.11a/n mode. For 802.11a/n devices

operating in the frequency range of 5.15

– 5.25 GHz, they are restricted for indoor

operations to reduce any potential harmful

interference for Mobile Satellite Services

(MSS) in the US. WIFI Access Points that are

capable of allowing your device to operate

in 802.11a/n mode(5.15 – 5.25 GHz band) are

optimized for indoor use only.

If your WIFI network is capable of operating

in this mode, please restrict your WIFI use

indoors to not violate federal regulations to

protect Mobile Satellite Services.

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

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.

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.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is

shielded from RF signals. However, certain

electronic equipment may not 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;

● 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 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 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. 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.

Part 15.19 statement

This device complies with part15 of FCC

rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful

interference.

(2) This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

Part 15.21 statement

Changes or modifications that are not

expressly approved by the manufacturer

could void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found

to comply with the limits for a class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there

is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If you

experience interference with reception (e.g.,

television), determine if this equipment is

causing the harmful interference by turning

the equipment off and then back on to see

if the interference is affected. If necessary, try

correcting the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on

a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.

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 (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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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?

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 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

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 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

does 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 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 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
