Safety

TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld

phones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and

receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted

RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by

both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation

Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-

Ionizing Radiation Protection

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations

of the relevant scientiﬁc literature. For example, over 120 scientists,

engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,

and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI

Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those

standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modiﬁcations, or attachments could damage the phone and may

violate FCC regulations.

150 Safety

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:

Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact

with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at

a higher power level than otherwise needed.

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:

O Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your ﬁrst responsibility;

O Use hands-free operation, if available;

O Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving

conditions or the law require it.

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.

151

Safety

Persons with pacemakers:

O Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their

pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

O Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

O Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference;

O 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.

152 Safety

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your

phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a

“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs

and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could

cause an explosion or ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always

marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline

stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;

vehicles using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas

where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal

powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn

off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inﬂates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either

installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in

the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly

installed and the air bag inﬂates, serious injury could result.

153

Safety

Safety Information

Please read and observe the following information for safe and proper use

of your phone and to prevent damage. Also, keep the user guide in an

accessible place at all times after reading it.

Violation of the instructions may cause minor or serious damage

to the product.

O Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.

O Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into

the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to ﬁre,

explosion or other hazard.

O Only use the battery for the system for which it is speciﬁed.

O Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualiﬁed with

the system per this standard. Use of an unqualiﬁed battery or charger

are designed to maximize battery life.

O Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

O Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.

O Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance.

The battery can be recharged several hundred times before replacement.

O Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery

life.

O Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions.

O Use of extended backlighting, Browser, and data connectivity kits affect

battery life and talk/ standby times.

O The self-protection function of the battery cuts the power of the phone

when its operation is in an abnormal state. In this case, remove the

battery from the phone, reinstall it, and turn the phone on.

155

Safety

Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards

O Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the

minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.

O Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power

plug pin when it’s dirty.

O When using the power plug, ensure that it’s ﬁrmly connected. If not, it

may cause excessive heat or ﬁre.

O If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle

of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip

or pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when

not in use.

O Don’t short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip

or pen in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of

the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuit of the

terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.

General Notice

O Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause

serious injury.

O Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit

card, phone card, bank book, or subway ticket near your phone. The

magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic

strip.

O Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality

due to heat generated during use.

O When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe

place with the power cord unplugged.

O Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio)

may cause interference to the phone.

O Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged

antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an LG

Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.

156 Safety

O Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off

immediately and remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it

to an LG Authorized Service Center.

O Do not paint your phone.

O The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use,

repair of the phone, or upgrade of the software. Please backup your

important phone numbers. (Ringtones, text messages, voice messages,

pictures, and videos could also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not

liable for damage due to the loss of data.

O When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration so

you don’t disturb others.

O Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to your ear.

O Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution.

Ensure that cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna

unnecessarily.

O Do not use your device for long periods of time while a part of your

body is making direct contact with it. The temperature of the product

may increase during normal operation and this may result in harming or

burning your skin.

Caution:

Avoid potential hearing loss.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common

cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientiﬁc research suggests

that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and

cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to

permanent noise induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones

(including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices).

Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies

with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted

hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other

potential hearing problems varies.

157

Safety

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending

on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the

headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations

when using any portable audio device:

O Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at

which you can hear adequately.

O When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the

people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear

what you are listening to.

O Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose

to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-

cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.

O Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time

is required before your hearing could be affected.

O Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such

as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary

hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

O Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you

experience ringing in your ears, hear mufﬂed speech or experience any

temporary hearing difﬁculty after listening to your portable audio device,

discontinue use and consult your doctor.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices

and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientiﬁc evidence does not show that any health problems

are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that

wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of Radio

Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They also

emit very low levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF

can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that

does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.

Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.

Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such

ﬁndings have not been conﬁrmed by additional research. In some cases, other

researchers have had difﬁculty in reproducing those studies, or in determining

the reasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting

consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold,

as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency

has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a

case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify

users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones so that

the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientiﬁc data does not justify FDA regulatory actions,

the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

O Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the

type emitted by wireless phones;

160 Safety

O Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the

user that is not necessary for device function; and

O 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:

O National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

O Environmental Protection Agency

O Occupational Safety and Health Administration

O 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 Radio

Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the phone

and the user’s head.

161

Safety

These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were

developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety

agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user,

the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure

decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called

“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone

wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus

produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conﬂicting results, and many

studies have suffered from ﬂaws in their research methods. Animal

experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conﬂicting

results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal

studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate

the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the

studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had

been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so

as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.

Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These

conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless

phones, so we do not know with certainty what the results of such studies

mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been

published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated

any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary

brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the

brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies

demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless

phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions

about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these

studies was around three years.

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from

wireless phones poses a health risk?

162 Safety

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people

actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are

needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few

years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect, if one exists. Epidemiological

studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,

but ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about

some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between

the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors

develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of

epidemiological studies is hampered by difﬁculties in measuring actual RF

exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect

this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which

model of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to ﬁnd out more about the possible

health effects of wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with

groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal

studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of

exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization

International Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in

1996. An inﬂuential result of this work has been the development of a

detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new

research programs around the world. The project has also helped develop a

series of public information documents on EMF issues.

The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association

(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement

(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the

scientiﬁc oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,

and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through

contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include

both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA

163

Safety

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 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/

cgb/cellular.html) gives directions for locating the FCC identiﬁcation number

on your phone so you can ﬁnd your phone’s RF exposure level in the online

listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy

coming from wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a

technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure

from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and

leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended

Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Speciﬁc Absorption Rate (SAR) in

the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental

Techniques”, sets forth the ﬁrst consistent test methodology for measuring

the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users.

The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head.

Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the

consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same

164 Safety

phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in

tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured

in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to

determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency

energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that

there is - it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even

potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to

Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a

person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will

reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless

phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the

source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.

For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from

your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the

scientiﬁc data does not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if

you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use

measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless

phone use.

10. What about children using wireless phones?

The scientiﬁc evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless

phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower

exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above

would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the

time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user

and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that

children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example,

the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaﬂets containing

such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence

exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.

Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly

165

Safety

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 “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 valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and

memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the

speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free

wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you

choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker

phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.

3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where

you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get

an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail

answer it for you.

4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations.

Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy trafﬁc or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,

sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy trafﬁc. As a driver,

your ﬁrst responsibility is to pay attention to the road.

5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are

167

Safety

reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while

driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is common

sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are

reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the trafﬁc; if possible, place calls when you are

not moving or before pulling into trafﬁc. Try to plan your calls before you

begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be

stopped at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. But if you need

to dial while driving, follow this simple tip - dial only a few numbers,

check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be

distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix;

they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel

of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if

necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert

your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of

the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in

dangerous situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only three

numbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of

ﬁre, trafﬁc accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s

a free call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless

phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in

your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other

serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local

emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance

number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving

may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for

emergency services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend

a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,

a broken trafﬁc signal, a minor trafﬁc accident where no one appears

injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or

other special non-emergency wireless number.

168 Safety

The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use

your mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that

you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations

regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or

otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use his or her phone

while operating a vehicle.

Consumer Information on SAR

(Speciﬁc Absorption Rate)

This model phone meets the Government’s requirements for exposure

to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for

exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits

are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the

National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the

recommendations were developed by scientiﬁc and engineering experts

drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of

the scientiﬁc literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.

The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement

known as the Speciﬁc Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the

rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts

per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety

limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates

a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to

account for any variations in measurements.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions speciﬁed

by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level

in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest

certiﬁed power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating

can be well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to

operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach

the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station

169

Safety

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.

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of

the phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the back

of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum

separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained between

the user’s body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,

and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.

Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) separation

distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have not

been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF

exposure limits and should be avoided.

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 1.03 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user’s

manual, is 1.24 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 ZNF.

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.

http://www.ctia.org/

*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used

by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.

The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional

protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations

for Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modiﬁed the exception of wireless

phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to

require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent

of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications

services for persons with hearing disabilities.

While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing

aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or

whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they

generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for

wireless phones, to assist hearing device users to ﬁnd phones that may

be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.

Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the

box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s

hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be

vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone

successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way

to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely

171

Safety

to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not

labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or

hearing health professional may help you ﬁnd this rating. Higher ratings

mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.

The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A

sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered

for best use.

In the example to the left, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level

rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the

sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the

hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their

hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this

context is deﬁned as a signal quality that’s acceptable for normal operation.

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark

is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are

recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions

(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC

Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

When you’re talking on a cell phone, it’s recommended that you turn the BT

(Bluetooth) or WLAN mode off for HAC.

According to HAC policy(KDB 285076), we state this handset has not been

rated for hearing aid compatibility with respect to the WiFi capability.
