Important Safety Precautions
Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal.
Further detailed information is given in this user guide.
WARNING! Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.
1. Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the
phone and/or battery and could cause the battery to explode.
2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause
the battery to explode.
3. Do not dispose of your battery by re or with hazardous or
flammable materials.
4. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the
hands-free kit near to the air bag. If wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be
seriously injured.
5. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
6. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For
example: aircraft)
7. 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.

Important Safety Precautions
8. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.
9. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This could
cause a re.
10. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may
harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
11. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone
may generate sparks.
12. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling,
or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a
re or electric shock.
13. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not
allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric
shock or re.
14. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage
your phone.
15. Do not disassemble the phone.
16. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it
may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or
re.
17. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your
body during a call.
2 VN170
18. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth
or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause
a re.
19. Store the battery out of reach of children.
20. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as
rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.)
This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in
serious injury or death.
21. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms
to avoid electric shock or re.
22. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by other
suppliers.
23. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its
accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in
accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
24. Your service provider programs one or more emergency
phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any
circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s
preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed
due to network, environmental, or interference issues.
25. Use and store your tablet in temperatures between 0°C/32°F
and 45°C/113°F, if possible. Exposing your tablet to extremely
low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction,
or even explosion.

Technical Details
The VN170 is an all digital
phone that operates on both
Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA) frequencies: Cellular
services at 800 MHz and Personal
Communication Services (PCS) at
1.9 GHz.
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 specic 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 Ofce), BSC (Base
Station Controller), BTS (Base
Station Transmission System), and
MS (Mobile Station).
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS95A system and ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as
many subscribers in the wireless
section as IS-95. Its battery life is
twice as long as IS-95.
The table on the following page
lists some major CDMA standards.

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
88
VN170
evaluations of the relevant
scientic 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,
modications, 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.
Tips on Efcient Operation
For your phone to operate most
efciently:
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:
† Give full attention to driving
-- driving safely is your rst
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
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.
Persons with pacemakers:
† Should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six (6) 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).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
VN170 89
Safety
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.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air. Switch
90
VN170
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 twoway 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 re
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 liqueed 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
† Only use the battery for the
system for which it is specied.
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.
† Only use the battery with
a charging system that has
been qualied with the system
per this standard. Use of an
unqualied battery or charger

VN170
Caution:
Avoid potential hearing
loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud
sounds (including music) is
the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some
scientic 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 BluetoothÂŽ
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.
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:
† Set the volume in a quiet
environment and select the
lowest volume at which you can
hear adequately.
† 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.
† 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 noisecancelling headphones to block
out background environmental
noise.
† Limit the amount of time you
listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
† 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.
† Do not listen at any volume
that causes you discomfort.
If you experience ringing in

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 scientic 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
96
VN170
effects may occur, but such
ndings have not been conrmed
by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had
difculty 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 radiationemitting 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 scientic
data does 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 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.
† National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
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.
† Environmental Protection
Agency
3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?
† Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
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
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:

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 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,
98
VN170
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 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 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.
which the phone is held, or which
model of phone is used.
5. What research is needed to
decide whether RF exposure
from wireless phones poses a
health risk?
6. What is the FDA doing to nd
out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone
RF?
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 difculties
in measuring actual RF exposure
during day-to-day use of wireless
phones. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle at
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
VN170 99
Safety
Development Agreement (CRADA)
to do research on wireless phone
safety. The FDA provides the
scientic 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.
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.
7. How can I nd out how
much Radio Frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?
html) gives directions for locating
the FCC identication number on
your phone so you can nd your
phone’s RF exposure level in the
online listing.
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 Specic
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
100 VN170
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
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques”, sets
forth the rst 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 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 scientic 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 scientic evidence does
not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children
VN170 101
Safety
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
precautionary; it was not based on
scientic 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
102 VN170
reason, the FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure
Electro Magnetic Interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and debrillators from
wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association
for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI). The nal
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
debrillators 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 species
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 benets of
wireless phones, one that every
user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is
your rst 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 handsfree 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
VN170 103
Safety
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 trafc or
hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy
trafc. As a driver, your rst
responsibility is to pay attention
to the road.
5. Don’t take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an address
book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while
driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going.
It is common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation
because you are reading or
writing and not paying attention
104 VN170
to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the
trafc; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or
before pulling into trafc. 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 re, trafc 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 trafc signal,
a minor trafc accident where
no one appears injured or a
vehicle you know to be stolen,
call roadside assistance or
other special non-emergency
wireless number.
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
(Specic 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
VN170 105
Safety
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 scientic and engineering
experts drawn from industry,
government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientic
literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certied
power level, the actual SAR level
of the phone while operating can
be well below the maximum value.
Because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels
to use only the power required to
reach the network, in general, the
closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the
power output.
The exposure Limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the
Specic 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

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 modied 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 nd phones that
may be compatible with their
108 VN170
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 to generate less
interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled.
M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4
meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. T4 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 nd 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 above example, 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 dened 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.
