number in contacts. Any spoken word, such as a name, can be a voice tag. You can 
assign voice tags to up to 25 contacts.
Notes about voice tags
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record them and make calls in a 
quiet environment.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use longer, unique names, for example, 
“John Smith, work.”
• When recording a voice tag or making a call using a voice tag, hold the phone 
in the normal position at your ear.
Note:  Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during 
an emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialing in all 
circumstances.

 •CONNECTIVITY
You can connect the phone to a compatible device using an IR or Bluetooth 
connection. You can also define the settings for (E)GPRS dial-up connections. You 
can connect the phone to a compatible PC using IR, Bluetooth, or a data cable; and 
use the phone as a modem to enable GPRS connectivity from the PC.
For more information, see the Nokia PC Suite online help. Nokia PC Suite and all 
related software can be downloaded from the U.S. Mobile Phone products section 
of www.nokia.com.
Bluetooth connectivity
Bluetooth connectivity enables cost-free wireless connections between electronic 
devices within a maximum range of 30 feet. A Bluetooth connection can be used 
to send and receive images, texts, gallery files, voice recordings, video clips, notes, 
business cards, and calendar notes. It can also be used to connect wirelessly to 
products that use Bluetooth wireless technology, such as computers. You can 
synchronize your phone and your PC using a Bluetooth connection.
Since devices with Bluetooth connectivity communicate using radio waves, your 
phone and the other device do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. 
The two devices only need to be within a maximum of 30 feet (10 meters) of each 
other, although the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions 
such as walls or from other electronic devices. 
The Bluetooth application consumes the battery and reduces the operating time of 
the phone. Take this into account when performing other operations with your 
phone.
There may be restrictions on using devices with Bluetooth connectivity. Check with 
your local authorities.
The Nokia 6230 supports Bluetooth specification 1.1 and the following profiles:
• SIM access profile (SAP)
• Object push profile (OPP)
• File transfer profile (FTP)
• Dial-up networking profile (DUN)
• Headset profile (HSP)
• Hands-free profile (HFP)
• Service discovery profile (SDP)
• Generic access profile (GAP)
• Serial port profile (SPP)

Settings (Menu 4)
• Generic access exchange profile (GOEP)
For compatibility between your phone and another device with Bluetooth 
connectivity, consult the device documentation and your Nokia dealer. 
PAIRING
You can set up a permanent association (pairing) between your phone and another 
device with Bluetooth connectivity. Some devices may require pairing before data 
transfer can take place.
To pair with a device, you and the owner of the other device must agree on a 
passcode of 1–16 numeric characters. The first time you try to connect the devices, 
you must each enter the same passcode. Once the devices are paired, you will not 
need to use the passcode again, so there is no need to remember it.
Paired devices are placed in your paired device list. You can view the list even when

Warning: Do not point the IR beam at anyone's eye or allow it to interfere 
with other IR devices. This device is a Class 1 laser product.
SEND AND RECEIVE DATA 
1Ensure that the IR ports of the sending and receiving devices are pointing at 
each other and that there are no obstructions between the devices.
The preferable distance between the two devices in an IR connection is from 
3 inches to 3 feet.
2Activate IR in your phone by selecting Settings > Connectivity > Infrared 
from the menus. 
3The user of the other device should activate IR as well.
If data transfer is not started within two minutes after the activation of the IR port, 
the connection is cancelled and must be restarted.
CONNECTION INDICATOR
• When   is shown continuously, the IR connection is activated and your 
phone is ready to send or receive data using its IR port.
• When   blinks, your phone is trying to connect to the other device or a 
connection has been lost.
GPRS, EDGE, CSD, HSCSD
With your phone you can use general packet radio service (GPRS), high-speed 
circuit switched data (HSCSD), and circuit switched data (CSD). The use of HSCSD 
services consumes the battery faster than normal voice or data calls. You may need 
to connect the phone to a charger during HSCSD data transfer.
With GPRS, you can stay connected to the mobile Internet and allow faster 
downloads without completing a dial-up connection. Applications using GPRS include 
MMS, SMS messaging, browsing sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application 
downloading, and the PC dial-up. Your phone can support three simultaneous GPRS 
connections.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM 
evolution) is similar to GPRS but the connection is much faster.
To use the EDGE service, subscribe to it from your service provider and save the 
GPRS settings for the functions that you want to use over the EDGE network. For 
information on pricing, availability, and data transfer speed, contact your service 
provider.
When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EDGE instead of 
GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot choose between EDGE and 
GPRS, but for some applications, such as browsing mobile Internet pages, you may 
be able to select either GPRS or CSD.

Always online—The phone automatically registers to a GPRS or EDGE network 
when you switch the phone on, if the network is available in your location.
GPRS MODEM SETTINGS
When you use your Nokia phone as a wireless modem, you can enable GPRS 
connectivity from your PC or laptop computer. 
Before you can use GPRS technology, you must save the GPRS settings for each of 
the applications used over GPRS. Some service providers may have already set up 
information for your GPRS dial-up connection. 
In order to use GPRS, you must first subscribe to the network service. Contact your 
service provider for details.

You can also set the GPRS dial-up service settings (access point name) on your PC 
using the Nokia Modem Options software. See the Nokia PC Suite online help for 
more information. If you set the settings on both the phone and the PC, the PC 
settings will be used.
GPRS ICONS
The following icons appear in the upper left corner of the screen to show you the 
status of your GPRS connection. 
Indicates an active GPRS connection, for example, when you are using 
the browser.

 • WALLET
The wallet feature allows you to store personal information like debit and credit 
card information to an encrypted area of phone memory. This information can then 
be used to make secure online purchases. Wallet purchases can also utilize digital 
signatures enabled by a security module in the SIM card (if present) for signing and 
verifying transactions. Online purchases and digital signature capabilities are 
dependent upon your service provider.
You can also store important information in a wallet personal note. Security features 
such as a password and data encryption make it ideal for storing personal 
information such as PIN codes and other sensitive data.
To protect against unauthorized use, wallet requires a code to be entered each time 
it is accessed. 
If you do not use the wallet for 5 minutes, it is automatically closed.

2At the prompt, enter the 4–10 digit code of your choice, and select OK. 
3Enter the same code again for verification, and select OK.
Note: Create a code that is unique, yet easy to remember. This will be your 
key to using wallet features in the future. Also, keep your wallet code in a 
secret place, separate from your phone.
Note: If you enter an incorrect wallet code three times in succession, you 
cannot access wallet for 5 minutes.

Certificates
There are three kinds of certificates—server, authority, and user.
Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If Expired certificate or Certificate not valid 
yet is shown even though the certificate should be valid, check that the current 
date and time settings in your phone are correct. Before changing these settings, 
make sure that you really trust the owner of the certificate and that the certificate 
really belongs to the listed owner.
SERVER CERTIFICATES
The phone uses a server certificate to create a connection with improved security 
between the phone and the content server. The phone receives the server 
certificate from the service provider before the connection is established. The 
validity of the server certificate is checked using the authority certificates saved in 
the phone. Server certificates are not saved.
AUTHORITY CERTIFICATES
Authority certificates are used by some services, such as banking, for checking the 
validity of other certificates. Authority certificates can be saved in the security 
module by the service provider, or they can be downloaded from the network if the 
service supports the use of authority certificates.
To view authority certificates, select Services > Settings > Security settings > 
Authority certificates > Certificate list, scroll to the desired certificate, and select 
View.
USER CERTIFICATES
User certificates are issued to users by a certifying authority. User certificates are 
required to make a digital signature. They associate the user with a specific private 
key in a security module.
To view user certificates, select Services > Settings > Security settings > User 
certificates > Certificate list, scroll to the desired certificate, and select View.

Reference Information
18 Reference Information
 • BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new 
battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. 
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually 
wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy 
a new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only 
with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not 
leave the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If 
left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Temperature 
extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that 
is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a 
metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive 
(+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the 
battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your 
pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the 
connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or 
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try 
to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A device with a hot or 
cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. 
Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local 
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic 
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic 
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag 
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative 
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. 
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty 
that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in 
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable 
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its 
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an 
air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including 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.

Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere 
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas 
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in 
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. 
Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service 
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, 
and distribution areas, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in 
progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always 
clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage 
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and 
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal 
powders.
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. The use of 
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the 
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone 
services to the offender, legal action, or both.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Important:  Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio 
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed 
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be 
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless phone for 
essential communications like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call: 
1If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some 
networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone. 
2Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the 
phone for calls. 
3Key in the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency 
numbers vary by location. 
4Press the Talk key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before 
you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider. When 
making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as 
possible. Your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at the 
scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
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 
1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 
by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all 
tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple 
power levels so as 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. 
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 (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required 
by the FCC for each model.
The following values are the highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to 
the FCC.
When tested for use at the ear:
FCCID # QTKRH-12 is 0.65 W/kg
FCCID # QTKRH-28 is 0.76 W/kg
When worn on the body, as described in this user guide:
FCCID # QTKRH-12 is 1.02 W/kg
FCCID # QTKRH-28 is 1.11 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available 
enhancements and FCC requirements).

Nokia 6230 User Guide 157 Copyright © 2004 Nokia
Reference Information
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at 
various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted 
an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels 
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure 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 QTKRH-12 and FCC ID QTKRH-28.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF 
exposure guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip, or holder that contains no 
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 5/8-inch (1.5 cm) from the 
body. Use of other carry cases, belt clips, or holders may not ensure compliance 
with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are 
not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 5/8-inch 
(1.5 cm) from your body when the phone is switched on.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the 
public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (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. SAR values may vary 
depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR 
information in other regions please look under product information at

Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique 
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. 
Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate 
by voice--almost anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, 
with emergency personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans make 
billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless 
phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A 
wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at 
all times while driving a motor vehicle--whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, 
caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense---keep your 
head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out 
for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within 
the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the 
same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a 
call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when 
behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, 
simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to 
help others in need. 
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.   
Wireless Phone "Safety Tips"
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which 
should be easy to remember. 
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. 
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable 
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work 
to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without 
taking your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone 
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted 
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of 
these devices if available to you.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your 
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing 
your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if 
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let 
the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the 
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice 
6230.ENv1_9310059.book  Page 164  Friday, January 30, 2004  2:33 PM

165
can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is 
to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not 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’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a 
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention 
to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not 
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your 
trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop 
sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, 
follow this simple tip--dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, 
then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. 
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix--they are 
distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make 
people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend 
conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the 
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous 
situations--with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 
9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road 
hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is 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 9-1-1 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 still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down 
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident 
where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside 
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard 
to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry 
Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to 
inform wireless phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and good 
citizens. As we approach a new century, more and more of us will take advantage of 
the benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a 
responsibility to drive safely.
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
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 stand-by 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 FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, 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, 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, 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 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
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group 
activities, as well.
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. FCC relies on FDA 
6230.ENv1_9310059.book  Page 168  Friday, January 30, 2004  2:33 PM

169
Appendix B Message from the FDA 
and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. 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 hand-held 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 
Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with 
the advice of 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 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 FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless 
phone RF?
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 
radiofrequency energy (RF).
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.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a 
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do 
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining 
input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-
funded research is conducted through contracts to 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 radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. 
FCC established these guidelines in consultation with 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.
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from   
wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical 
standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless
6230.ENv1_9310059.book  Page 170  Friday, January 30, 2004  2:33 PM

Appendix B Message from the FDA 
 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 radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency 
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 
radiofrequency 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?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic 
devices. For this reason, 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 
6230.ENv1_9310059.book  Page 171  Friday, January 30, 2004  2:33 PM

172
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by 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. 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 accompanied 
hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with 
other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will 
conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
