TIA Safety InformationProvided herein is the complete TIA SafetyInformation for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusionof the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, andOther Medical Devices is required in the ownerísmanual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remainingTIA language is encouraged when appropriate.Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF)signals.In August, 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelineswith safety levels for handheld wireless phones.Those guidelines are consistent with the safetystandards previously set by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:ANSI C95.1 (1992) * NCRP Report 86 (1986)ICNIRP (1996)Those standards were based on comprehensive andperiodic evaluations of the relevant scientificliterature. For example, over 120 scientists,engineers, and physicians from universities,government health agencies, and industry reviewedthe available body of research to develop the ANSIStandard (C95.1).*American National Standards Institute;NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection andMeasurements;International Commission on Non-Ionizing RadiationProtectionThe design of your phone complies with the FCCguidelines (and those standards).Antenna Care Use only the supplied or an approved replacementantenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, orattachments could damage the phone and mayviolate FCC regulations.Phone Operation NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you wouldany other telephone with the antenna pointed upand over your shoulder.SAFETY GUIDELINES72SAFETY GUIDELINES
Tips on Efficient Operation For your phone to operate most efficiently:]Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when thephone is in use. Contact with the antenna affectscall quality and may cause the phone to operate ata higher power level than otherwise needed.Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of wirelessphones in the areas where you drive. Always obeythem. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:]Give full attention to driving-driving safely is yourfirst responsibility;]Use hands-free operation, if available;]Pull off the road and park before making oranswering a call if driving conditions so require.Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded fromRF signals. However, certain electronic equipmentmay not be shielded against the RF signals from yourwireless phone.Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Associationrecommends that a minimum separation of six (6’)inches be maintained between a handheld wirelessphone and a pacemaker to avoid potentialinterference with the pacemaker. Theserecommendations are consistent with theindependent research by and recommendations ofWireless Technology Research.Persons with pacemakers: ]Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than sixinches from their pacemaker when the phone isturned ON; ]Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.]Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker tominimize the potential for interference. ]If you have any reason to suspect thatinterference is taking place, turn your phone OFFimmediately.73SAFETY GUIDELINES

SAFETY GUIDELINES78FDA Consumer UpdateThe U.S. Food and Drug Administrationís Center forDevices and Radiological Health Consumer Updateon Mobile Phones.1.Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show thatany health problems are associated with usingwireless phones. There is no proof, however, thatwireless phones are absolutely safe. Wirelessphones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used. Theyalso emit very low levels of RF when in the standbymode. Whereas high levels of RF can producehealth effects (by heating tissue), exposure to lowlevel RF that does not produce heating effectscauses no known adverse health effects. Manystudies of low level RF exposures have not foundany biological effects. Some studies have suggestedthat some biological effects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmed by additionalresearch. In some cases, other researchers have haddifficulty in reproducing those studies, or indetermining the reasons for inconsistent results.2.What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety ofwireless phones? Under the law, the FDA does not review the safetyof radiation-emitting consumer products such aswireless phones before they can be sold, as it doeswith new drugs or medical devices. However, theagency has authority to take action if wirelessphones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In sucha case, the FDA could require the manufacturers ofwireless phones to notify users of the health hazardand to repair, replace, or recall the phones so thatthe hazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justifyFDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged thewireless phone industry to take a number of steps,including the following: ]Support needed research into possible biologicaleffects of RF of the type emitted by wirelessphones; ]Design wireless phones in a way that minimizesany RF exposure to the user that is not necessaryfor device function; andSAFETY GUIDELINES
79]Cooperate in providing users of wireless phoneswith the best possible information on possibleeffects of wireless phone use on human health. The FDA belongs to an interagency working group ofthe federal agencies that have responsibility fordifferent aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinatedefforts at the federal level. The following agenciesbelong to this working group:]National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth]Environmental Protection Agency]Occupational Safety and Health Administration]National Telecommunications and InformationAdministration The National Institutes of Health participates insome interagency working group activities, as well.The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities forwireless phones with the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC). All phones that are sold in theUnited States must comply with FCC safetyguidelines that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agenciesfor safety questions about wireless phones.The FCC also regulates the base stations that thewireless phone networks rely upon. While these basestations operate at higher power than do the wirelessphones themselves, the RF exposures that people getfrom these base stations are typically thousands oftimes lower than those they can get from wirelessphones. Base stations are thus not the subject of thesafety questions discussed in this document.3.What kinds of phones are the subject of thisupdate?The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here to handheldwireless phones with built-in antennas, often called‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones. These types ofwireless phones can expose the user to measurableradiofrequency energy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone and the user’s head.These RF exposures are limited by FCC safetyguidelines that were developed with the advice ofthe FDA and other federal health and safetyagencies. When the phone is located at greaterdistances from the user, the exposure to RF isdrastically lower because a person’s RF exposureSAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES80decreases rapidly with increasing distance from thesource. The so-called ‘cordless phones,’ which havea base unit connected to the telephone wiring in ahouse, typically operate at far lower power levels,and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCCsafety limits.4.What are the results of the research donealready? The research done thus far has producedconflicting results, and many studies have sufferedfrom flaws in their research methods. Animalexperiments investigating the effects ofradiofrequency energy (RF) exposurescharacteristic of wireless phones have yieldedconflicting results that often cannot be repeated inother laboratories. A few animal studies, however,have suggested that low levels of RF couldaccelerate the development of cancer in laboratoryanimals. However, many of the studies that showedincreased tumor development used animals thathad been genetically engineered or treated withcancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposedto develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to22 hours per day. These conditions are not similarto the conditions under which people use wirelessphones, so we don’t know with certainty what theresults of such studies mean for human health.Three large epidemiology studies have beenpublished since December 2000. Between them,the studies investigated any possible associationbetween the use of wireless phones and primarybrain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acousticneuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studiesdemonstrated the existence of any harmful healtheffects from wireless phone RF exposures. However,none of the studies can answer questions aboutlong-term exposures, since the average period ofphone use in these studies was around three years.5.What research is needed to decide whether RFexposure from wireless phones poses a healthrisk? A combination of laboratory studies andepidemiological studies of people actually usingwireless phones would provide some of the datathat are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studiescould be completed in a few years. However, verySAFETY GUIDELINES
81large numbers of animals would be needed toprovide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effectif one exists. Epidemiological studies can providedata that is directly applicable to humanpopulations, but 10 or more years follow-up maybe needed to provide answers about some healtheffects, such as cancer. This is because the intervalbetween the time of exposure to a cancer-causingagent and the time tumors develop- if they do-may be many, many years. The interpretation ofepidemiological studies is hampered by difficultiesin measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-dayuse of wireless phones. Many factors affect thismeasurement, such as the angle at which the phoneis held, or which model of phone is used.6.What is the FDA doing to find out more aboutthe possible health effects of wireless phoneRF? The FDA is working with the U.S. NationalToxicology Program and with groups ofinvestigators around the world to ensure that highpriority animal studies are conducted to addressimportant questions about the effects of exposureto radiofrequency energy (RF).The FDA has been a leading participant in theWorld Health Organization InternationalElectromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since itsinception in 1996. An influential result of this workhas been the development of a detailed agenda ofresearch needs that has driven the establishment ofnew research programs around the world. Theproject has also helped develop a series of publicinformation documents on EMF issues. The FDAand the Cellular Telecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formal CooperativeResearch and Development Agreement (CRADA) todo research on wireless phone safety. The FDAprovides the scientific oversight, obtaining inputfrom experts in government, industry, and academicorganizations. CTIA-funded research is conductedthrough contracts with independent investigators.The initial research will include both laboratorystudies and studies of wireless phone users. TheCRADA will also include a broad assessment ofadditional research needs in the context of thelatest research developments around the world.SAFETY GUIDELINES
827.How can I find out how much radio frequencyenergy exposure I can get by using my wirelessphone? All phones sold in the United States must complywith Federal Communications Commission (FCC)guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF)exposures. The FCC established these guidelines inconsultation with the FDA and the other federalhealth and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RFexposure from wireless telephones is set at aSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts perkilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistentwith the safety standards developed by theInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering(IEEE) and the National Council on RadiationProtection and Measurement. The exposure limittakes into consideration the body’s ability toremove heat from the tissues that absorb energyfrom the wireless phone and is set well below levelsknown to have effects. Manufacturers of wirelessphones must report the RF exposure level for eachmodel of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCCidentification number on your phone so you canfind your phone’s RF exposure level in the onlinelisting.8.What has the FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless phones? The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE) is developing a technical standard formeasuring the radio frequency energy (RF)exposure from wireless phones and other wirelesshandsets with the participation and leadership ofFDA scientists and engineers. The standard,‘Recommended Practice for Determining theSpatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in theHuman Body Due to Wireless CommunicationsDevices: Experimental Techniques,’ sets forth thefirst consistent test methodology for measuring therate at which RF is deposited in the heads ofwireless phone users. The test method uses atissue-simulating model of the human head.Standardized SAR test methodology is expected togreatly improve the consistency of measurementsmade at different laboratories on the same phone.SAR is the measurement of the amount of energyabsorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or asmall part of the body. It is measured in watts/kgSAFETY GUIDELINES
83(or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement isused to determine whether a wireless phonecomplies with safety guidelines. 9.What steps can I take to reduce my exposure toradiofrequency energy from my wireless phone? If there is a risk from these products - and at thispoint we do not know that there is - it is probablyvery small. But if you are concerned about avoidingeven potential risks, you can take a few simple stepsto minimize your exposure to radiofrequencyenergy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how muchexposure a person receives, reducing the amount oftime spent using a wireless phone will reduce RFexposure. If you must conduct extendedconversations by wireless phone every day, youcould place more distance between your body andthe source of the RF, since the exposure level dropsoff dramatically with distance. For example, youcould use a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phoneconnected to a remote antenna.  Again, thescientific data do not demonstrate that wirelessphones are harmful. But if you are concerned aboutthe RF exposure from these products, you can usemeasures like those described above to reduceyour RF exposure from wireless phone use.10.What about children using wireless phones? The scientific evidence does not show a danger tousers of wireless phones, including children andteenagers. If you want to take steps to lowerexposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), themeasures described above would apply to childrenand teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing thetime of wireless phone use and increasing thedistance between the user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored byother national governments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from using wireless phonesat all. For example, the government in the UnitedKingdom distributed leaflets containing such arecommendation in December 2000. They notedthat no evidence exists that using a wireless phonecauses brain tumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wireless phone use bychildren was strictly precautionary; it was notbased on scientific evidence that any health hazardexists.SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES8411.What about wireless phone interference withmedical equipment? Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phonescan interact with some electronic devices. For thisreason, the FDA helped develop a detailed testmethod to measure electromagnetic interference(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators from wireless telephones. This testmethod is now part of a standard sponsored by theAssociation for the Advancement of Medicalinstrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a jointeffort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers,and many other groups, was completed in late2000. This standard will allow manufacturers toensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillatorsare safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA hastested hearing aids for interference from handheldwireless phones and helped develop a voluntarystandard sponsored by the Institute of Electricaland Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standardspecifies test methods and performancerequirements for hearing aids and wireless phonesso that no interference occurs when a person uses a‘compatible’ phone and a ‘compatible’ hearing aidat the same time. This standard was approved bythe IEEE in 2000. The FDA continues to monitorthe use of wireless phones for possible interactionswith other medical devices. Should harmfulinterference be found to occur, the FDA willconduct testing to assess the interference and workto resolve the problem.12.Where can I find additional information?

8510  Driver Safety TipsYour wireless phone gives you the powerful ability tocommunicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. Animportant responsibility accompanies the benefits ofwireless phones, one that every user must uphold.When operating a car, driving is your firstresponsibility.When using your wireless phone behind the wheel ofa car, practice good common sense and rememberthe following tips:1. Get to know your wireless phone and its featuressuch as speed dial and redial. Carefully read yourinstruction manual and learn to take advantage ofvaluable features most phones offer, includingautomatic redial and memory. Also, work tomemorize the phone keypad so you can use thespeed dial function without taking your attentionoff the road.2. When available, use a hands-free device. A numberof hands-free wireless phone accessories arereadily available today. Whether you choose aninstalled mounted device for your wireless phoneor a speaker phone accessory, take advantage ofthese devices if available to you.3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.Make sure you place your wireless phone withineasy reach and where you can reach it withoutremoving your eyes from the road. If you get anincoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,let your voicemail answer it for you.4. Suspend conversations during hazardous drivingconditions or situations. Let the person you arespeaking with know you are driving; if necessary,suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardousweather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice canbe hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,your first responsibility is to pay attention to theroad.5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers whiledriving. If you are reading an address book orbusiness card, or writing a “to-do” list while drivinga car, you are not watching where you are going. Itis common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangeroussituation because you are reading or writing andnot paying attention to the road or nearbyvehicles.6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,place calls when you are not moving or beforepulling into traffic. SAFETY GUIDELINES
86Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip orattempt to coincide your calls with times you maybe stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwisestationary. 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 emotionalconversations that may be distracting. Stressful oremotional conversations and driving do not mix;they are distracting and even dangerous when youare behind the wheel of a car. Make people you aretalking with aware you are driving and if necessary,suspend conversations which have the potential todivert your attention from the road.8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Yourwireless phone is one of the greatest tools you canown to protect yourself and your family indangerous situations — with your phone at yourside, help is only three numbers away. Dial 911 orother local emergency number in the case of fire,traffic accident, road hazard or medicalemergency. Remember, it is a free call on yourwireless phone!9. Use your wireless phone to help others inemergencies. Your wireless phone provides you aperfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” inyour community. If you see an auto accident, crimein progress or other serious emergency where livesare in danger, call 911 or other local emergencynumber, as you would want others to do for you.10. Call roadside assistance or a special wirelessnonemergency assistance number whennecessary. Certain situations you encounterwhile driving may require attention, but are noturgent enough to merit a call for emergencyservices. But you can still use your wirelessphone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-downvehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken trafficsignal, a minor traffic accident where no oneappears injured or a vehicle you know to bestolen, call roadside assistance or other specialnon-emergency wireless number.
