Technical Details
The PD820 is a single-band phone that operates on
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies:
cellular services at 800 MHz.
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to
keep communication from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific
area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when
compared with analog mode. In addition, features such as
soft / softer handoff, hard Handoff, and dynamic RF
power control technologies combine to reduce call
interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile
Station). The following table lists some major CDMA
standards.

Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones.
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 Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held 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).
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.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
70
PD820_eng.qxd
04/5/21
7:10 PM
Page 71
PD820
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.
American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive and always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please observe
the following:
• 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 or the law 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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 in 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.
71
PD820_eng.qxd
04/5/21
7:10 PM
Page 72
PD820
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
• 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.] Optional for each phone
manufacturer.
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.
72
PD820_eng.qxd
04/5/21
7:10 PM
Page 73
PD820
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a “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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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.

F D A 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
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.
74
PD820_eng.qxd
04/5/21
7:10 PM
Page 75
PD820
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 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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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
75
PD820_eng.qxd
04/5/21
7:10 PM
Page 76
PD820
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 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
76
PD820_eng.qxd
04/5/21
7:10 PM
Page 77
PD820
had been genetically engineered or treated with cancercausing 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.
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
77

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 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 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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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 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
79

PD820
heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a
tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at different
laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement
of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the
whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in
watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is
used to determine whether a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radio frequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products — 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 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 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 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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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 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.
