Browser security
Security features may be required
for some services, such as banking
services or shopping on a site. For
such connections you need security
certificates and possibly a security
module which may be available on
your SIM card. For more
information, contact your service
provider.
Security module
The security module can contain
certificates as well as private and
public keys. The security module
may improve the security services
for applications requiring browser
connection, and allows you to use a
digital signature. The certificates
are saved in the security module by
the service provider.

•Change signing PIN. Select the
signing PIN you want to change.
Enter the current PIN code, then
enter the new code twice.
See also ”General information” on
page -1.
Certificates
There are three kinds of certificates:
server certificates, authority
certificates and user certificates.
• The phone uses a server
certificate to improve security in
connection between the phone
and the gateway. The phone
receives the server certificate
from the service provider before
the connection is established and
its validity is checked using the
authority certificates saved in
the phone. Server certificates are
not saved.
The security indicator is
displayed during a connection, if
the data transmission between
the phone and the gateway
(identified by the IP address in
the Edit active service settings -
Bearer settings) is encrypted.
However, the security indicator
does not indicate that the data
transmission between the
gateway and the content server
(place where the requested
resource is saved) is secure. It is
up to the service provider to
secure the data transmission
between the gateway and the
content server.
• Authority certificates are used
by some services, such as
banking services, for checking
the validity of other certificates.
Authority certificates can either
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.
• User certificates are issued to
users by a Certifying Authority.
User certificates are required,
for example, to make a digital
signature and they associate the
user with a specific private key
in a security module.
Important: Note, however,
that even if the use of
certificates makes the risks
involved in remote
connections and software
installation considerably
smaller, they must be used
correctly in order to benefit
from increased security.
The existence of a
certificate does not offer
any protection by itself; the
certificate manager must
contain correct, authentic,
or trusted certificates for
increased security to be
available.
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 65 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM
Menu functions
66
Important: Certificates have a
restricted lifetime. If Expired
certificate or Certificate not valid
yet is shown even if the certificate
should be valid, check that the
current date and time in your phone
are correct.
Important: Before changing these
settings, you must make sure that
you really trust the owner of the
certificate and that the certificate
really belongs to the listed owner.
Digital signature
You can make digital signatures
with your phone (network service).
The signature can be traced back to
you via the private key on the
security module and the user
certificate that was used to perform
the signature. Using the digital
signature can be the same as signing
your name to a paper bill, contract
or other document.
To make a digital signature, select a
link on a page, for example, the title
of the book you want to buy and its
price. The text to sign (possibly
including amount, date, etc.) will be
shown.
Check that the header text is Read
and that the digital signature icon
is shown.
Note: If the digital
signature icon does not
appear, there is a security
breach, and you should not enter
any personal data such as your
signing PIN.
To sign the text, read all of the text
first and then you can select Sign.
Note: The text may not fit
within a single screen.
Therefore, make sure to
scroll through and read all of the
text before signing.
Select the user certificate you want
to use. Key in the signing PIN (see
”General information” on page -1)
and press OK. The digital signature
icon will disappear, and the service
may display a confirmation of your
purchase.
■SIM services

In addition to the functions
available in the phone, your SIM
card may provide additional
services that you can access in
Menu 15. Menu 15 is shown only if

8. Battery information
■Charging and
Discharging
Your phone is powered by a
rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery's full
performance 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
operating time (talk-time and
standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to buy a new
battery.
Use only batteries approved by the
phone manufacturer and recharge
your battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer.
Unplug the charger when not in use.
Do not leave the battery connected
to a charger for longer than a week,
since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused a fully
charged battery will discharge itself
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
which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object (coin,
clip or pen) causes direct
connection of the + and - terminals
of the battery (metal strips on the
battery) 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 15°C and 25°C
(59°F and 77°F). A phone with a
hot or cold battery may temporarily
not work, even when the battery is
fully charged. Batteries'
performance is particularly limited
in temperatures well below
freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Dispose of batteries according to
local regulations (e.g. recycling).
Do not dispose as household waste.

13. IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
■Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while
driving a vehicle. Always secure the
phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passenger seat or where it
can break loose in a collision or sudden
stop.
Remember road safety always comes
first!
■Operating environment
Remember to follow any special
regulations in force in any area and
always switch off your phone whenever
it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Use the phone only in its normal
operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic.
Metallic materials may be attracted to
the phone, and persons with a hearing
aid should not hold the phone to the ear
with the hearing aid. Always secure the
phone in its holder, because metallic
materials may be attracted by the ear
piece. Do not place credit cards or other
magnetic storage media near the phone,
because information stored on them
may be erased.
■Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6
inches) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more
than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is
switched on;
• Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimise the potential
for interference.
• Should switch off the phone
immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to
consult your service provider.
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 76 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
77
English
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including cellular phones,
may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the medical device to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy or if you have any
questions. Switch off your phone in
health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles
(e.g. electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking
systems, electronic speed control
systems, air-bag systems). Check with
the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also
consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility
where posted notices so require.
■Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Switch off your phone 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.
Users are advised to switch off the
phone when at a refuelling point
(service station). Users are reminded of
the need to observe restrictions on the
use of radio equipment in fuel depots
(fuel 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
liquified 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.
■Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service
the phone, or install the phone in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service
may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty which may apply to the
unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone
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 phone, its parts or
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag,
remember that an air bag inflates with
great force. Do not place objects,
including both 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.
Using your phone while in the air is prohibited. Switch off your phone before
boarding an aircraft. 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, or legal action or both.
■Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your phone
before boarding an aircraft. 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: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions can not be
guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless
phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain
network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If 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.
2. Press as many times as needed (e.g. to exit a call, to exit a menu, etc.) to clear
the display and ready the phone for calls.
3. Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911, or other official
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the 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 and your local cellular service
provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone may be the only means of

■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
highest SAR value for this model
phone as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the ear is 0.61 W/kg
and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.94
W/kg. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models,
depending upon available
accessories and FCC
requirements). 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
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 80 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM

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
QTLRH-6.
For body worn operation, this phone
has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and
that positions the handset a minimum
of 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) from the body. Use
of other accessories 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 equirements and the
network band. For SAR information in
other regions please look under
product information at
www.nokia.com. For body worn
operation, this phone has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with the Nokia
accessories supplied or designated for
this product. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.

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
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 83 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
84
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 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
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 84 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM

English
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.

English
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 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,

English
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://
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 90 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM

English
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
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,
3108_Dufu_fcc_1.1.fm Page 91 Friday, October 24, 2003 2:20 AM
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
92
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
(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.
