Exposure to Radio FrequencySignalYour wireless handheld portablephone is a low power radiotransmitter and receiver. When ON,it receives and sends out RadioFrequency (RF) signals.In August, 1996, the FederalCommunications Commissions(FCC) adopted RF exposureguidelines with safety levels forhandheld wireless phones. Thoseguidelines are consistent with thesafety standards previously set byboth U.S. and internationalstandards bodies:ANSI C95.1 (1992) *NCRP Report 86 (1986)ICNIRP (1996)* American National StandardsInstitute; National Council onRadiation Protection andMeasurements; InternationalCommission on  Non-IonizingRadiation Protection Those standards were based oncomprehensive and periodicevaluations of the relevantscientific literature. For example,over 120 scientists, engineers, andphysicians from universities,government health agencies, andindustry reviewed the availablebody of research to develop theANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phonecomplies with the FCCguidelines (and thosestandards).Antenna CareUse only the supplied or anapproved replacement antenna.Unauthorized antennas,modifications, or attachments coulddamage the phone and may violateFCC regulations.Phone OperationNORMAL POSITION: Hold thephone as you would any othertelephone with the antenna pointedup and over your shoulder.88 VX7100
Tips on Efficient OperationFor your phone to operate mostefficiently:Don’t touch the antennaunnecessarily when the phone is inuse. Contact with the antennaaffects call quality and may causethe phone to operate at a higherpower level than otherwise needed.DrivingCheck the laws and regulations onthe use of wireless phones in theareas where you drive and alwaysobey them. Also, if using yourphone while driving, please observethe following:●Give full attention to driving --driving safely is your firstresponsibility;●Use hands-free operation, ifavailable;●Pull off the road and park beforemaking or answering a call ifdriving conditions or the lawrequire it.Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipmentis shielded from RF signals.However, certain electronicequipment may not be shieldedagainst the RF signals from yourwireless phone.PacemakersThe Health Industry ManufacturersAssociation recommends that aminimum separation of six (6)inches be maintained between ahandheld wireless phone and apacemaker to avoid potentialinterference with the pacemaker.These recommendations areconsistent with the independentresearch by and recommendationsof Wireless Technology Research.Persons with pacemakers:●Should ALWAYS keep the phonemore than six (6) inches fromtheir pacemaker when the phoneis turned ON;●Should not carry the phone in abreast pocket;●Should use the ear opposite thepacemaker to minimize thepotential for interference;●Should turn the phone OFFimmediately if there is anyreason to suspect thatinterference is taking place.VX7100    89

CCaauuttiioonn:: AAvvooiidd ppootteennttiiaallhheeaarriinngg lloossss..Prolonged exposure to loud sounds(including music) is the mostcommon cause of preventablehearing loss. Some scientificresearch suggests that usingportable audio devices, such asportable music players and cellulartelephones, at high volume settingsfor long durations may lead topermanent noise induced hearingloss. This includes the use ofheadphones (including headsets,earbuds and Bluetooth®or otherwireless devices). Exposure to veryloud sound has also beenassociated in some studies withtinnitus (a ringing in the ear),hypersensitivity to sound anddistorted hearing. Individualsusceptibility to noise-inducedhearing loss and other potentialhearing problems varies.The amount of sound produced bya portable audio device variesdepending on the nature of thesound, the device, the devicesettings and the headphones. Youshould follow some commonsenserecommendations when using anyportable audio device:●Set the volume in a quietenvironment and select thelowest volume at which you canhear adequately.●When using headphones, turnthe volume down if you cannothear the people speaking nearyou or if the person sitting nextto you can hear what you arelistening to.●Do not turn the volume up toblock out noisy surroundings. Ifyou choose to listen to yourportable device in a noisyenvironment, use noise-cancelling headphones to blockout background environmentalnoise.●Limit the amount of time youlisten. As the volume increases,less time is required before yourhearing could be affected.●Avoid using headphones afterexposure to extremely loudnoises, such as rock concerts,that might cause temporaryhearing loss. Temporary hearingloss might cause unsafe volumesto sound normal.●Do not listen at any volume thatcauses you discomfort. If youexperience ringing in your ears,VX7100    95

FFDDAA CCoonnssuummeerrUUppddaatteeThe U.S. Food and DrugAdministration’s Centerfor Devices andRadiological Health ConsumerUpdate on Mobile Phones:1. Do wireless phones pose ahealth hazard?The available scientific evidencedoes not show that any healthproblems are associated with usingwireless phones. There is no proof,however, that wireless phones areabsolutely safe. Wireless phonesemit low levels of Radio Frequency(RF) energy in the microwave rangewhile being used. They also emitvery low levels of RF when instandby mode. Whereas high levelsof RF can produce health effects(by heating tissue), exposure to lowlevel RF that does not produceheating effects causes no knownadverse health effects. Manystudies of low level RF exposureshave not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies havesuggested that some biologicaleffects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmedby additional research. In somecases, other researchers have haddifficulty in reproducing thosestudies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.2. What is the FDA's roleconcerning the safety of wirelessphones?Under the law, the FDA does notreview the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products suchas wireless phones before they canbe sold, as it does with new drugsor medical devices. However, theagency has authority to take actionif wireless phones are shown toemit Radio Frequency (RF) energyat a level that is hazardous to theuser. In such a case, the FDA couldrequire the manufacturers ofwireless phones to notify users ofthe health hazard and to repair,replace, or recall the phones sothat the hazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific datadoes not justify FDA regulatoryactions, the FDA has urged thewireless phone industry to take anumber of steps, including thefollowing:●Support needed research intopossible biological effects of RFof the type emitted by wirelessphones;VX7100    97
Safety●Design wireless phones in a waythat minimizes any RF exposureto the user that is not necessaryfor device function; and●Cooperate in providing users ofwireless phones with the bestpossible information on possibleeffects of wireless phone use onhuman health.The FDA belongs to an interagencyworking group of the federalagencies that have responsibilityfor different aspects of RF safety toensure coordinated efforts at thefederal level. The followingagencies belong to this workinggroup:●National Institute forOccupational Safety and Health●Environmental ProtectionAgency●Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration●National Telecommunicationsand Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Healthparticipates in some interagencyworking group activities, as well.The FDA shares regulatoryresponsibilities for wireless phoneswith the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC). All phones thatare sold in the United States mustcomply with FCC safety guidelinesthat limit RF exposure. The FCCrelies on the FDA and other healthagencies for safety questions aboutwireless phones.The FCC also regulates the basestations that the wireless phonenetworks rely upon. While thesebase stations operate at higherpower than do the wireless phonesthemselves, the RF exposures thatpeople get from these base stationsare typically thousands of timeslower than those they can get fromwireless phones. Base stations arethus not the subject of the safetyquestions discussed in thisdocument.3. What kinds of phones are thesubject of this update?The term “wireless phone” refershere to handheld wireless phoneswith built-in antennas, often called“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones.These types of wireless phones canexpose the user to measurableRadio Frequency (RF) energybecause of the short distancebetween the phone and the user’shead. These RF exposures are limited byFCC safety guidelines that were98 VX7100
developed with the advice of theFDA and other federal health andsafety agencies. When the phone islocated at greater distances fromthe user, the exposure to RF isdrastically lower because aperson's RF exposure decreasesrapidly with increasing distancefrom the source. The so-called“cordless phones,” which have abase unit connected to thetelephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lower powerlevels, and thus produce RFexposures far below the FCC safetylimits.4. What are the results of theresearch done already?The research done thus far hasproduced conflicting results, andmany studies have suffered fromflaws in their research methods.Animal experiments investigatingthe effects of Radio Frequency (RF)energy exposures characteristic ofwireless phones have yieldedconflicting results that often cannotbe repeated in other laboratories. Afew animal studies, however, havesuggested that low levels of RFcould accelerate the developmentof cancer in laboratory animals.However, many of the studies thatshowed increased tumordevelopment used animals that hadbeen genetically engineered ortreated with cancer-causingchemicals so as to be pre-disposedto develop cancer in the absence ofRF exposure. Other studies exposedthe animals to RF for up to 22 hoursper day. These conditions are notsimilar to the conditions underwhich people use wireless phones,so we do not know with certaintywhat the results of such studiesmean for human health. Three largeepidemiology studies have beenpublished since December 2000.Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possibleassociation between the use ofwireless phones and primary braincancer, glioma, meningioma, oracoustic neuroma, tumors of thebrain or salivary gland, leukemia, orother cancers. None of the studiesdemonstrated the existence of anyharmful health effects fromwireless phone RF exposures.However, none of the studies cananswer questions about long-termexposures, since the averageperiod of phone use in thesestudies was around three years.VX7100    99
Safety5. What research is needed todecide whether RF exposure fromwireless phones poses a healthrisk?A combination of laboratory studiesand epidemiological studies ofpeople actually using wirelessphones would provide some of thedata that are needed. Lifetimeanimal exposure studies could becompleted in a few years. However,very large numbers of animalswould be needed to provide reliableproof of a cancer promoting effect,if one exists. Epidemiologicalstudies can provide data that isdirectly applicable to humanpopulations, but ten or more yearsfollow-up may be needed to provideanswers about some health effects,such as cancer. This is because theinterval between the time ofexposure to a cancer-causingagent and the time tumors develop— if they do — may be many, manyyears. The interpretation ofepidemiological studies ishampered by difficulties inmeasuring actual RF exposureduring day-to-day use of wirelessphones. Many factors affect thismeasurement, such as the angle atwhich the phone is held, or whichmodel of phone is used.6. What is the FDA doing to find outmore about the possible healtheffects of wireless phone RF?The FDA is working with the U.S.National Toxicology Program andwith groups of investigators aroundthe world to ensure that highpriority animal studies areconducted to address importantquestions about the effects ofexposure to Radio Frequency (RF)energy. The FDA has been a leadingparticipant in the World HealthOrganization International ElectroMagnetic Fields (EMF) Projectsince its inception in 1996. Aninfluential result of this work hasbeen the development of a detailedagenda of research needs that hasdriven the establishment of newresearch programs around theworld. The project has also helpeddevelop a series of publicinformation documents on EMFissues. The FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formalCooperative Research AndDevelopment Agreement (CRADA)to do research on wireless phonesafety. The FDA provides thescientific oversight, obtaining input100 VX7100
from experts in government,industry, and academicorganizations. CTIA-fundedresearch is conducted throughcontracts with independentinvestigators. The initial researchwill include both laboratory studiesand studies of wireless phoneusers. The CRADA will also includea broad assessment of additionalresearch needs in the context ofthe latest research developmentsaround the world.7. How can I find out how muchRadio Frequency energy exposure Ican get by using my wirelessphone?All phones sold in the United Statesmust comply with FederalCommunications Commission (FCC)guidelines that limit RadioFrequency (RF) energy exposures.The FCC established theseguidelines in consultation with theFDA and the other federal healthand safety agencies. The FCC limitfor RF exposure from wirelessphones is set at a SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 wattsper kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCClimit is consistent with the safetystandards developed by theInstitute of Electrical and ElectronicEngineering (IEEE) and the NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection andMeasurement. The exposure limittakes into consideration the body’sability to remove heat from thetissues that absorb energy from thewireless phone and is set wellbelow levels known to have effects.Manufacturers of wireless phonesmust report the RF exposure levelfor each model of phone to the FCC.The FCC website(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)gives directions for locating the FCCidentification number on yourphone so you can find your phone’sRF exposure level in the onlinelisting.8. What has the FDA done tomeasure the Radio Frequencyenergy coming from wirelessphones?The Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers (IEEE) isdeveloping a technical standard formeasuring the Radio Frequency(RF) energy exposure from wirelessphones and other wirelesshandsets with the participation andleadership of FDA scientists andengineers. The standard,“Recommended Practice forDetermining the Spatial-PeakVX7100    101
SafetySpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) inthe Human Body Due to WirelessCommunications Devices:Experimental Techniques”, setsforth the first consistent testmethodology for measuring the rateat which RF is deposited in theheads of wireless phone users. Thetest method uses a tissue-simulating model of the humanhead. Standardized SAR testmethodology is expected to greatlyimprove the consistency ofmeasurements made at differentlaboratories on the same phone.SAR is the measurement of theamount of energy absorbed intissue, either by the whole body ora small part of the body. It ismeasured in watts/kg (ormilliwatts/g) of matter. Thismeasurement is used to determinewhether a wireless phone complieswith safety guidelines. 9. What steps can I take to reducemy exposure to Radio Frequencyenergy from my wireless phone?If there is a risk from theseproducts — and at this point we donot know that there is — it isprobably very small. But if you areconcerned about avoiding evenpotential risks, you can take a fewsimple steps to minimize yourexposure to Radio Frequency (RF)energy. Since time is a key factor inhow much exposure a personreceives, reducing the amount oftime spent using a wireless phonewill reduce RF exposure. If youmust conduct extendedconversations by wireless phoneevery day, you could place moredistance between your body andthe source of the RF, since theexposure level drops offdramatically with distance. Forexample, you could use a headsetand carry the wireless phone awayfrom your body or use a wirelessphone connected to a remoteantenna. Again, the scientific datadoes not demonstrate that wirelessphones are harmful. But if you areconcerned about the RF exposurefrom these products, you can usemeasures like those describedabove to reduce your RF exposurefrom wireless phone use.10. What about children usingwireless phones?The scientific evidence does notshow a danger to users of wirelessphones, including children andteenagers. If you want to take stepsto lower exposure to Radio102 VX7100
Frequency (RF) energy, themeasures described above wouldapply to children and teenagersusing wireless phones. Reducingthe time of wireless phone use andincreasing the distance betweenthe user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by othernational governments have advisedthat children be discouraged fromusing wireless phones at all. Forexample, the government in theUnited Kingdom distributed leafletscontaining such a recommendationin December 2000. They noted thatno evidence exists that using awireless phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wirelessphone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based onscientific evidence that any healthhazard exists.11. What about wireless phoneinterference with medicalequipment?Radio Frequency (RF) energy fromwireless phones can interact withsome electronic devices. For thisreason, the FDA helped develop adetailed test method to measureElectro Magnetic Interference(EMI) of implanted cardiacpacemakers and defibrillators fromwireless telephones. This testmethod is now part of a standardsponsored by the Association forthe Advancement of MedicalInstrumentation (AAMI). The finaldraft, a joint effort by the FDA,medical device manufacturers, andmany other groups, was completedin late 2000. This standard will allowmanufacturers to ensure thatcardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators are safe from wirelessphone EMI.The FDA has tested hearing aids forinterference from handheldwireless phones and helpeddevelop a voluntary standardsponsored by the Institute ofElectrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE). This standard specifies testmethods and performancerequirements for hearing aids andwireless phones so that nointerference occurs when a personuses a “compatible” phone and a“compatible” hearing aid at thesame time. This standard wasapproved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA continues to monitor theuse of wireless phones for possibleinteractions with other medicaldevices. Should harmfulVX7100    103
Safetyinterference be found to occur, theFDA will conduct testing to assessthe interference and work toresolve the problem.12.

When usingyour wireless phone behind thewheel of a car, practice goodcommon sense and remember thefollowing tips:1. Get to know your wireless phoneand its features such as speeddial and redial. Carefully readyour instruction manual andlearn to take advantage ofvaluable features most phonesoffer, including automatic redialand memory. Also, work tomemorize the phone keypad soyou can use the speed dialfunction without taking yourattention off the road. 2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free wireless phone accessoriesare readily available today.Whether you choose an installedmounted device for your104 VX7100
wireless phone or a speakerphone accessory, takeadvantage of these devices ifavailable to you. 3. Make sure you place yourwireless phone within easyreach and where you can reachit without removing your eyesfrom the road. If you get anincoming call at an inconvenienttime, if possible, let yourvoicemail answer it for you. 4. Suspend conversations duringhazardous driving conditions orsituations. Let the person you arespeaking with know you aredriving; if necessary, suspendthe call in heavy traffic orhazardous weather conditions.Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can behazardous, but so is heavytraffic. As a driver, your firstresponsibility is to pay attentionto the road.5.  Don’t take notes or look upphone numbers while driving. Ifyou are reading an address bookor business card, or writing a“to-do” list while driving a car,you are not watching where youare going. It is common sense.Do not get caught in adangerous situation because youare reading or writing and notpaying attention to the road ornearby vehicles.6. Dial sensibly and assess thetraffic; if possible, place callswhen you are not moving orbefore pulling into traffic. Try toplan your calls before you beginyour trip or attempt to coincideyour calls with times you may bestopped at a stop sign, red light,or otherwise stationary. But ifyou need to dial while driving,follow this simple tip -- dial only afew numbers, check the roadand your mirrors, then continue. 7. Do not engage in stressful oremotional conversations thatmay be distracting. Stressful oremotional conversations anddriving do not mix; they aredistracting and even dangerouswhen you are behind the wheelof a car. Make people you aretalking with aware you aredriving and if necessary,suspend conversations whichhave the potential to divert yourattention from the road.8. Use your wireless phone to callfor help. Your wireless phone isone of the greatest tools you canown to protect yourself and yourVX7100    105
Safetyfamily in dangerous situations --with your phone at your side,help is only three numbers away.Dial 911 or other localemergency number in the caseof fire, traffic accident, roadhazard, or medical emergency.Remember, it’s a free call on yourwireless phone! 9. Use your wireless phone to helpothers in emergencies. Yourwireless phone provides you aperfect opportunity to be a“Good Samaritan” in yourcommunity. If you see an autoaccident, crime in progress orother serious emergency wherelives are in danger, call 911 orother local emergency number,as you would want others to dofor you. 10. Call roadside assistance or aspecial wireless non-emergencyassistance number whennecessary. Certain situations youencounter while driving mayrequire attention, but are noturgent enough to merit a call foremergency services. But youcan still  use your wirelessphone to lend a hand. If you seea broken-down vehicle posingno serious hazard, a brokentraffic signal, a minor trafficaccident where no one appearsinjured or a vehicle you know tobe stolen, call roadsideassistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.The above tips are meant asgeneral guidelines. Before decidingto use your mobile device whileoperating a vehicle, it isrecommended that you consultyour applicable jurisdiction’s locallaws or other regulations regardingsuch use. Such laws or otherregulations may prohibit orotherwise restrict the manner inwhich a driver may use his or herphone while operating a vehicle. 106 VX7100
CCoonnssuummeerrIInnffoorrmmaattiioonn oonn SSAARR(Specific Absorption Rate)This model phone meets thegovernment's requirements forexposure to radio waves. Yourwireless phone is a radiotransmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured not toexceed the emission limits forexposure to Radio Frequency (RF)energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission of theU.S. Government. These limits arepart of comprehensive guidelinesand establish permitted levels of RFenergy for the general population.The guidelines are based onstandards that were developed byindependent scientificorganizations through periodic andthorough evaluation of scientificstudies. The standards include asubstantial safety margin designedto assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wirelessmobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conductedusing standard operating positionsspecified by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certifiedpower level in all tested frequencybands. Although SAR is determinedat the highest certified power level,the actual SAR level of the phonewhile operating can be well belowthe maximum value. Because thephone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels to use onlythe power required to reach thenetwork, in general, the closer youare to a wireless base stationantenna, the lower the poweroutput.Before a phone model is availablefor sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the limitestablished by the government-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests are performedin positions and locations (e.g., atthe ear and worn on the body) asrequired by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for thismodel phone when tested for use atthe ear is 1.26 W/kg and whenworn on the body, as described inthis user guide, is 0.473 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ amongphone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCCVX7100    107
Safetyrequirements). While there may bedifferences between SAR levels ofvarious phones and at variouspositions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safeexposure.The FCC has granted an EquipmentAuthorization for this model phonewith all reported SAR levelsevaluated as in compliance with theFCC RF emission guidelines. SARinformation on this model phone ison file with the FCC and can befound under the Display Grantsection ofhttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid aftersearching on FCC ID BEJVX7100.Additional information on SpecificAbsorption Rates (SAR) can befound on the CellularTelecommunications IndustryAssociation (CTIA) website athttp://www.ctia.org.* In the United States and Canada,the SAR limit for mobile phonesused by the public is 1.6 watts/kg(W/kg) averaged over one gram oftissue. The standard incorporates asubstantial margin of safety to giveadditional protection for the publicand to account for any variations inmeasurements.FFCCCC HHeeaarriinngg--AAiiddCCoommppaattiibbiilliittyy ((HHAACC))RReegguullaattiioonnss ffoorrWWiirreelleessss DDeevviicceessOn July 10, 2003, the U.S. FederalCommunications Commission (FCC)Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception ofwireless phones under the HearingAid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HACAct) to require digital wirelessphones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is toensure reasonable access totelecommunications services forpersons with hearing disabilities.While some wireless phones areused near some hearing devices(hearing aids and cochlearimplants), users may detect abuzzing, humming, or whining noise.Some hearing devices are moreimmune than others to thisinterference noise, and phones alsovary in the amount of interferencethey generate.The wireless telephone industryhas developed a rating system forwireless phones, to assist hearingdevice users to find phones thatmay be compatible with theirhearing devices. Not all phones108 VX7100
have been rated. Phones that arerated have the rating on their box ora label located on the box.The ratings are not guarantees.Results will vary depending on theuser's hearing device and hearingloss. If your hearing devicehappens to be vulnerable tointerference, you may not be able touse a rated phone successfully.Trying out the phone with yourhearing device is the best way toevaluate it for your personal needs.M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4meet FCC requirements and arelikely to generate less interferenceto hearing devices than phones thatare not labeled. M4 is thebetter/higher of the two ratings.T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4meet FCC requirements and arelikely to generate less interferenceto hearing devices than phones thatare not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.Hearing devices may also be rated.Your hearing device manufactureror hearing health professional mayhelp you find this rating. Higherratings mean that the hearingdevice is relatively immune tointerference noise. The hearing aidand wireless phone rating valuesare then added together. A sum of 5is considered acceptable fornormal use. A sum of 6 isconsidered for best use.In the above example, if a hearingaid meets the M2 level rating andthe wireless phone meets the M3level rating, the sum of the twovalues equal M5. This shouldprovide the hearing aid user with“normal usage” while using theirhearing aid with the particularwireless phone. “Normal usage” inthis context is defined as a signalquality that’s acceptable for normaloperation.The M mark is intended to besynonymous with the U mark. The Tmark is intended to be synonymouswith the UT mark. The M and Tmarks are recommended by theAlliance for TelecommunicationsIndustries Solutions (ATIS).
