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 0.59 inches
(1.5 cm) from the body. 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, including
the antenna, whether extended or retracted.
17
For Your Safety
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components
should not be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain 0.59
inches (1.5 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.
18
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”)
19
For Your Safety
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
20
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) INFOFDA. 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/oet/rfsafety 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.
21
For Your Safety
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
22
phone to the body while in use, and the
use of hands-free devices. 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 X.XX W/kg
and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is X.XX 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/ea/fccid/ after
searching on FCC ID
23
For Your Safety
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
24
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.
25
For Your Safety
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.

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
29
For Your Safety
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).
30
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.
Tips on Efficient Operation
Pacemakers
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.
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.
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.
31
For Your Safety
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.
32
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.
33
For Your Safety
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.
34
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

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
35
For Your Safety
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 idle 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
36
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 does 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
37
For Your Safety
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.
38
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
39
For Your Safety
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
40
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
41
For Your Safety
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.
42
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.
43
For Your Safety
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/
44
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
45
For Your Safety
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
46
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
47
For Your Safety
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.
48
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
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 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.
