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.
conducted. The FCC issued its own website
publication stating that âthere 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.âThis publication is available

Are wireless phones safe?
What does âSARâ mean?
Consumer Information About
Radio Frequency Emissions
Scientific research on the subject of
wireless phones and radio frequency (âRFâ)
energy has been conducted worldwide for
many years, and continues. In the United
States, the Food and Drug Administration
(âFDAâ) and the Federal Communications
Commission (âFCCâ) set policies and
procedures for wireless phones. The FDA
issued a website publication on health issues
related to cell phone usage where it states,
âThe scientific community at large âŚbelieves
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 âcâin the subject index,
select Cell Phones > Research). You can
also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 4636332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000,
the FDA entered into a cooperative research
and development agreement through
which additional scientific research is being
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 âSAR.â 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 FCCâs OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_
Technology/Doc uments/bulletins or visit
the Cellular Telecommunications 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 âhands-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.âAlso, 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 manufacturerâs instructions for the
safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any
special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that âthe
scientific evidence does not show a danger
to users of wireless communication devices,
including children.âThe FDA/FCC website
further states that âsome groups sponsored
by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using
wireless phones at allâ. For example, the
Stewart Report from the United Kingdom
[âUKâ] 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 UKâs]
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 UKâs leaflet is
available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search
âmobileâ), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton,
Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom.
Copies of the UKâs annual reports on mobile
phones and RF are available online at www.
iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/
radiation/ (search âmobileâ). Parents who
wish to reduce their childrenâs RF exposure
may choose to restrict their childrenâs wireless
phone use.

TIA Safety Information
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
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
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
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Donât 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:
â˘ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more
than six (6) inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
â˘ Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket;
â˘ Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;
â˘ 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 âblasting
areaâ or in areas posted: âTurn off two-way
radioâ. 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
Administrationâs 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 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 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 FDAâs 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:
â˘ Support needed research into possible
biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless phones;
â˘ Design wireless phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function;
and
â˘ 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:
â˘ National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health
â˘ Environmental Protection Agency
â˘ Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
â˘ 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 âwireless phoneâ refers here to
handheld wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called âcellâ, âmobileâ, or
âPCSâ 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
userâs 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 personâs RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the
source. The so-called âcordless phones,â
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, 166 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
followup 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 cancercausing agent and
the time tumors develop â if they do â 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. CTIAfunded 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 bodyâs 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 phoneâs 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,
âRecommended Practice for Determining
the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniquesâ, 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 â and
at this point we do not know that there
is â 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
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 âcompatibleâ phone and a
âcompatibleâ 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:
â˘ Give full attention to driving -- driving
safely is your first responsibility;
â˘ Use hands-free operation, if available;
â˘ Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions or
the law require it.
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model phone meets the Governmentâs
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.
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 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 userâs manual, is X.XX W/kg. 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
ZNFLG305C.
ZNFL305C.
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.
Part 15.105 statement

guarantees. Results will vary depending on the userâs hearing device and hearing loss.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to
