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.

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s
body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of
the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn
accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation
distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and
have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
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
5
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 radiofrequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from
the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National
Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In
both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific
and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related
to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the
human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The
FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in measurements. 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.
9
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF emission guidelines.
The highest SAR values are:
•
Head: 1.02W/kg
•
Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.23 W/kg
(body 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.
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 ZNFH443.
To find information that pertains to a particular model phone,
this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is usually printed
somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional information
on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found 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.
11
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone
is maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN
components must be disabled during a call.
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.

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.
15
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.

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
23
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.
25
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
27
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.

Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please observe the following:
● Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first
responsibility;
● Use hands-free operation, if available;

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phones
offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial
function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-
free wireless phone accessories are readily available today.
Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your
wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach
and where you can reach it without removing your eyes from
the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous,
but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you
are reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-
do” list while driving a car, you are not watching where you are
going. It is common sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous
situation because you are reading or writing and not paying
attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan
your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to coincide
your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red
29
light, or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while
driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving
do not mix; they are distracting and even dangerous when you
are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with
aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is
one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and
your family in dangerous situations -- with your phone at your
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s a free call on your
wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your
wireless phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a
“Good Samaritan” in your community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number, as
you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency
assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you
encounter while driving may require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you
can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured
or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or
other special non-emergency wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding
to use your mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is
recommended that you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local
laws or other regulations regarding such use. Such laws or other
regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner in which
a driver may use his or her phone while operating a vehicle.

7.11 Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of
consumer goods:
● The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790
et seq],
● The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C
§§2101 et seq], and
● The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade
Commission Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR
Parts 701– 703]. A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a
written promise that the product is free of defects or a written
promise to refund, repair, or replace defective goods. [See 15
USC §2301(6).] Remedies include damages for failing to honor
a written warranty or service contract or for violating disclosure
provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for some labeling and
disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not preempt state
law. [See 15 USC §2311.]
The Consumer Warranty Act does not affect the rights and
obligations of parties under the state Uniform Commercial Code,
except the provisions of the Act prevail over provisions of the
Commercial Code when they confl ict. [CC §1790.3.]
For purposes of small claims actions, this course will focus on rights
and duties under the state laws.
