Inclusion of the textcovering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and OtherMedical Devices is required in the ownerís manual forCTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA languageis encouraged when appropriate.Exposure to Radio Frequency SignalYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, itreceives 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. Thoseguidelines are consistent with the safety standardspreviously set by both U.S. and international standardsbodies: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 healthagencies, and industry reviewed the available body ofresearch to develop the ANSI Standard (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 CareUse only the supplied or an approved replacementantenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, orattachments could damage the phone and may violateFCC regulations.Phone OperationNORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would anyother telephone with the antenna pointed up and overyour shoulder.
69Safety GuidelinesTips on Efficient OperationFor 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 at ahigher power level than otherwise needed.DrivingCheck 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 DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from RFsignals. However, certain electronic equipment maynot be shielded against the RF signals from yourwireless phone.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Associationrecommends that a minimum separation of six (6’)inches be maintained between a handheld wirelessphone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interferencewith the pacemaker. These recommendations areconsistent with the independent research by andrecommendations of Wireless 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 that interferenceis taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with somehearing aids. In the event of such interference, youmay want to consult your service provider.

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. They alsoemit very low levels of RF when in the standby mode.Whereas high levels of RF can produce healtheffects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RFthat does not produce heating effects causes noknown adverse health effects. Many studies of lowlevel RF exposures have not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies have suggested that somebiological effects may occur, but such findings havenot been confirmed by additional research. In somecases, other researchers have had difficulty inreproducing those studies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.2.What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety ofwireless phones?Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety ofradiation-emitting consumer products such aswireless phones before they can be sold, as it does
74Safety Guidelineswith 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 such acase, 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 wireless phones;]Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes anyRF exposure to the user that is not necessary fordevice function; and]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 InformationAdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates in someinteragency working group activities, as well.The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wirelessphones with the Federal Communications Commission(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United Statesmust comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RFexposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other healthagencies for 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.
75Safety Guidelines3.What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?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 exposuredecreases 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 done already?The research done thus far has produced conflictingresults, and many studies have suffered from flaws intheir research methods. Animal experimentsinvestigating the effects of radiofrequency energy(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phoneshave yielded conflicting results that often cannot berepeated in other 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 that hadbeen genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed todevelop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Otherstudies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hoursper day. These conditions are not similar to theconditions under which people use wireless phones,so we don’t know with certainty what the results ofsuch studies mean for human health. Three largeepidemiology studies have been published sinceDecember 2000. Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possible association between theuse of wireless phones and primary brain cancer,glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors ofthe brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or othercancers. None of the studies demonstrated theexistence of any harmful health effects from wirelessphone RF exposures. However, none of the studiescan answer questions about long-term exposures,
76Safety Guidelinessince the average period of phone use in thesestudies was around three years.5.What research is needed to decide whether RFexposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?A combination of laboratory studies andepidemiological studies of people actually usingwireless phones would provide some of the data thatare needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies couldbe completed in a few years. However, very largenumbers of animals would be needed to providereliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if oneexists. Epidemiological studies can provide data thatis directly applicable to human populations, but 10 ormore years follow-up may be needed to provideanswers about some health effects, such as cancer.This is because the interval between the time ofexposure to a cancer-causing agent and the timetumors develop - if they do - may be many, manyyears. The interpretation of epidemiological studiesis hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RFexposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.Many factors affect this measurement, such as theangle at which the phone is held, or which model ofphone is used.6.What is the FDA doing to find out more about thepossible health effects of wireless phone RF?The FDA is working with the U.S. National ToxicologyProgram and with groups of investigators around theworld to ensure that high priority animal studies areconducted to address important questions about theeffects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).The FDA has been a leading participant in the WorldHealth Organization International ElectromagneticFields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. Aninfluential result of this work has been thedevelopment of a detailed agenda of research needsthat has driven the establishment of new researchprograms around the world. The project has alsohelped develop a series of public informationdocuments on EMF issues. The FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)have a formal Cooperative Research andDevelopment Agreement (CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. The FDA provides thescientific oversight, obtaining input from experts ingovernment, industry, and academic organizations.CTIA-funded research is conducted throughcontracts with independent investigators. The initialresearch will include both laboratory studies and
77Safety Guidelinesstudies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will alsoinclude a broad assessment of additional researchneeds in the context of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.7.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 consistent withthe safety standards developed by the Institute ofElectrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and theNational Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement. The exposure limit takes intoconsideration the body’s ability to remove heat fromthe tissues that absorb energy from the wirelessphone and is set well below levels known to haveeffects. Manufacturers of wireless phones mustreport the RF exposure level for each model of phoneto the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCCidentification number on your phone so you can findyour phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.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) exposurefrom wireless phones and other wireless handsetswith the participation and leadership of FDAscientists and engineers. The standard,‘Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the HumanBody Due to Wireless Communications Devices:Experimental Techniques,’ sets forth the firstconsistent test methodology for measuring the rateat which RF is deposited in the heads of wirelessphone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. StandardizedSAR test methodology is expected to greatly improvethe consistency of measurements made at differentlaboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
78Safety Guidelinesmeasurement of the amount of energy absorbed intissue, either by the whole body or a small part of thebody. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) ofmatter. This measurement is used to determinewhether a wireless phone complies with safetyguidelines.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 radiofrequency energy(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposurea person receives, reducing the amount of time spentusing a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. Ifyou must conduct extended conversations bywireless phone every day, you could place moredistance between your body and the source of theRF, since the exposure level drops off dramaticallywith distance. For example, you could use a headsetand carry the wireless phone away from your body oruse a wireless phone connected to a remoteantenna. Again, the scientific data do notdemonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But ifyou are concerned about the RF exposure from theseproducts, you can use measures like those describedabove to reduce your RF exposure from wirelessphone 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 noted thatno 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 not based
79Safety Guidelineson scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.11.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 joint effortby the FDA, medical device manufacturers, andmany other groups, was completed in late 2000. Thisstandard will allow manufacturers to ensure thatcardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe fromwireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearingaids for interference from handheld wireless phonesand helped develop a voluntary standard sponsoredby the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicEngineers (IEEE). This standard specifies testmethods and performance requirements for hearingaids and wireless phones so that no interferenceoccurs when a person uses a ‘compatible’ phoneand a ‘compatible’ hearing aid at the same time. Thisstandard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDAcontinues to monitor the use of wireless phones forpossible interactions with other medical devices.Should harmful interference be found to occur, theFDA will conduct testing to assess the interferenceand work to resolve the problem.12.Where can I find additional information?For additional information, please refer to thefollowing resources:FDA web page on wireless phones(http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/phones/index.html)Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RFSafety Program(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)International Commission on Non-lonizing RadiationProtection(http://www.icnirp.de)World Health Organization (WHO) International EMFProject (http://www.who.int/emf)National Radiological Protection Board (UK)(http://www.nrpb.org.uk/)
80Safety Guidelines10 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 of acar, practice good common sense and remember thefollowing 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 attention offthe 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 phone ora speaker phone accessory, take advantage of thesedevices 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, letyour 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 can behazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, yourfirst responsibility is to pay attention to the road.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 and notpaying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, placecalls when you are not moving or before pulling intotraffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin yourtrip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you
81Safety Guidelinesmay be 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; theyare distracting and even dangerous when you arebehind 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 in dangeroussituations — with your phone at your side, help isonly three numbers away. Dial 911 or other localemergency number in the case of fire, trafficaccident, road hazard or medical emergency.Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!9. Use your wireless phone to help others inemergencies. Your wireless phone provides you aperfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in yourcommunity. If you see an auto accident, crime inprogress 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 encounter whiledriving may require attention, but are not urgentenough to merit a call for emergency services. Butyou can still use your wireless phone to lend ahand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing noserious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minortraffic accident where no one appears injured or avehicle you know to be stolen, call roadsideassistance or other special non-emergencywireless number.For more information, please call to 888-901-SAFE, orvisit our website www.wow-com.com
