Never store your phone in temperatures less than

phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. Consult manufacturers of any
personal medical devices such as pacemakers and
hearing aides to determine if they are susceptible to
interference from your mobile phone. Turn off your
phone in a medical facility or at a gas station.

IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA Safety Information
(see page 130) before using your phone.

Important Information
This user’s guide provides important information on
the use and operation of your phone. Please read all
the information carefully prior to using the phone for
the best performance and to prevent any damage to
or misuse of the phone. Any unapproved changes or
modifications will void your warranty.

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.

FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

This device and its accessories comply with part 15
of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device and its accessories
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device and its accessories must accept any

Network

Service

The VX4600 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 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.

FCC RF Exposure Information

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

WARNING! Read this information before
operating the phone.

(Optional, if available.)

In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back
of the phone kept 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 3/4 inches (2 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and
the back of the phone, including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components should not be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain 3/4 inches (2 cm)
distance between the user’s body and the back of
the phone and have not been tested for compliance
with FCC RF exposure limits.

12

VX4600

A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must
be maintained between the user / bystander and
the vehicle-mounted external antenna to satisfy
FCC RF exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution

Use only the supplied and approved antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications
could impair call quality, damage the phone,
void your warranty and/or result in violation of
FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
the skin a minor burn may result. Contact your
local dealer for a replacement of antenna.

Safety
TIA Safety Information

Phone Operation

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless
handheld phones.

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Tips on Efficient Operation

Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.

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.

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.

130 VX4600

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 first
responsibility;

●

Use hands-free operation, if available;

to suspect that interference is taking place.

Blasting Areas

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.
132 VX4600

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.

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.
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.

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 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 radiationemitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they
138 VX4600

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:
●
●
●
●

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
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.

VX4600 139

04/1/27

Page 140

Safety
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 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 had been

140 VX4600

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 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.
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 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
142 VX4600

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.
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 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
VX4600 143

04/1/27

Page 144

Safety
(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.
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)
144 VX4600

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.

Safety
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 radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. 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 antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.17 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.914 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
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. 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/fccid after searching on FCC
ID BEJVX4600. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com.

*

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.

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.
