Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable
telephone is a lowpower radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also 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)
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).
* American National Standards
Institute;National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
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.
Safety Guidelines
35
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:
]Do not 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also,
if using your phone while driving, please:
]Give full attention to driving - driving
safely is your first responsibility;
]Use hands-free operation, if available;
]Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
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 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.
Safety Guidelines
36
]If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are
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. Turn your phone
OFF before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF when in
a ‘blasting areas 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
37
Safety Guidelines
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
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
Safety Guidelines
40
radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the 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
radiofrequency energy (RF) 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
41
Safety Guidelines
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 (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
]Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
]National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are
sold in the United States must comply
with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA
and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these base
stations operate at higher power than
do the wireless phones themselves, the
RF exposures that people get from
these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those
they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject
of the safety questions discussed in
this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?
The term ‘wireless phone’refers here to
handheld wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or
‘PCS’phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to
measurable radiofrequency energy
(RF) 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
Safety Guidelines
42
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 radiofrequency energy (RF)
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 don’t 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.
43
Safety Guidelines
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
10 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 radiofrequency
energy (RF). The FDA has been a
leading participant in the World Health
Organization International
Electromagnetic 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
Safety Guidelines
44
Development Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety.
The FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded
research is conducted through
contracts with independent
investigators. The initial research will
include both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the
world.
7. How can I find out how much radio
frequency energy exposure I can get
by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States
must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radio frequency
energy (RF) 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 telephones 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
45
Safety Guidelines
measuring the radio frequency energy
(RF) 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 tissuesimulating 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 radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency energy
(RF). 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 do
not demonstrate that wireless phones
are harmful. But if you are concerned
about the RF exposure from these
Safety Guidelines
46
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 radiofrequency energy
(RF), 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 energy (RF) from
wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this
reason, the FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic 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
47
Safety Guidelines
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.

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
Safety Guidelines
48
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. Position your wireless phone within
easy reach. 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. Do not 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. Don’t 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 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
49
Safety Guidelines
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 is 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.

Consumer Information on
SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of
the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. Because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The highest SAR
value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.17 W/kg and when
51
Safety Guidelines
worn on the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 1.09 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phones
models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.) While
there may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID BEJLG300G.
Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.wow-com.com
* 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.
