2. Set up your phone
■ Antenna
Your device has two antennas:
• The fixed antenna is active unless the extendable antenna
is fully extended.
In the Nokia 6255i and 6256i phone, the GPS antenna is also
internal and is activated when placing emergency calls or
when On is selected from the Location info sharing menu. For
more information on location info sharing, see Location info
sharing, 69.

device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the device is switched on. Contact with the

If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive messages
to compatible phones that are also subscribed to a message service. You can also send
and receive picture messages, multimedia messages, and e-mail if supported by your
service provider. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and
names from your contact list. See Text entry, 24 for more information.
When composing text messages, picture messages, or multimedia messages, check the
number of characters allowed in the top right corner of the message. Using special
(Unicode) characters takes up more space. If there are special characters in your
message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly. Before the message
is sent, the phone will tell you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for
one message.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display Message sent. This is an
indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message center
number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the
message has been received at the intended destination. For more details about
messaging services, check with your service provider.
Important: E-mail messages or multimedia message objects may contain
viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Do not open any
attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of the sender.

■ Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, and a picture. Or a multimedia message
can contain a video clip. Your phone supports multimedia messages that are up to 300
KB. If the maximum size is exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message.
Depending upon your network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet
address where you can go to view the multimedia message. Pictures are scaled to fit the
display area of the phone. Your phone has a multimedia message viewer for playing
messages and a multimedia inbox for storing saved messages. Once you save the
multimedia message, you can use the image as a screen saver or the sound as a ringing
tone.
Important: Multimedia message objects may contain viruses or otherwise be
harmful to your device or PC. Do not open any attachment if you are not sure of
the trustworthiness of the sender.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content from
being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your service provider
or network operator. For availability and a subscription to the multimedia
messaging service, contact your service provider or network operator. Only
compatible devices can receive and display multimedia messages.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
• Sound: SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic ringing tones
• Video: clips in H.263 format with SubQCIF image size and AMR audio
Note: If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements
may be replaced with the text Object format not supported.
You cannot receive multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, games or other
applications running, or an active browsing session. Because delivery of multimedia
messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential
communications.

Mobile Web (Menu 9)
12. Mobile Web (Menu 9)
Minibrowser is a network service. See Network Services, 6 for more information.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the
mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, then you can
view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and much
more. The web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia. Nokia
does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you should take
the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any internet site.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and
the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. The
service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content
server.
■ Mobile internet access
Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.
It is likely that your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser
to go to this page when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your service
provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone. Normally
this is done by your wireless provider once you have subscribed to the feature. Contact
your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.
■ Sign on to the mobile internet
At the start screen, select Menu > Mobile Web > Minibrowser > Connect.
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.

13. Connectivity (Menu 10)
You can connect the phone to a compatible device using an IR or
Bluetooth connection. You can also connect the phone to a compatible PC using IR,
Bluetooth, or a data cable; and use the phone as a modem to enable 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.
These devices are compliant with Bluetooth specification 1.1 supporting the following
profiles:
• Object push profile (OPP)
• File transfer profile (FTP)
• Dial-up networking profile (DUN)
• Generic object exchange profile (GOEP)
91
Copyright © Nokia 2004
• Headset profile (HSP)
• Hands-free profile (HFP)
• Service discovery profile (SDP)
• Generic access profile (GAP)
• Serial port profile (SPP)
To ensure interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth technology, use
Nokia approved enhancements for this model. Check with the manufacturers of other
devices to determine their compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations. Check with
your local authorities or service provider.
Features using Bluetooth technology, or allowing such features to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power and
reduces the battery life.
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
Bluetooth is not active or when the devices in the list are not available for connection.
To view the paired device list:
1. From the start screen, select Menu > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Paired devices.
2. Scroll to the desired device, and select Options and one of the following
Assign short name—Give a nickname to the selected device (visible to you only).

Important: Note 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. 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 device are correct. Before changing any certificate settings, you
must make sure that you really trust the owner of the certificate and that

16. Reference information
This section provides information about your phone’s batteries, enhancements,
chargers, safety guidelines and technical information. Be aware that the information in
this section is subject to change as batteries, chargers, and enhancements change.
■ Battery information
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.

remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit
boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit
boards and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the

your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use
the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets RF exposure
guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear of when
positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip, or
holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position
the device at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to
the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until
such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed.
■ Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless 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 device 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.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 in (15.3 cm) be
maintained between a 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. To minimize the
potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should
• Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when
the device is switched on
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.

HEARING AIDs
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your service provider.
■ Vehicles
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:
1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
2. Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the device
for calls.
3. Key in the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers
vary by location.
4. Press the Call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you
can make an emergency call. If the device is in an offline or flight mode you must
change the profile to activate the phone function 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 device 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 mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy adopted by the
governments of the USA through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Canada through Industry Canada (IC). These limits 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
104
Copyright © Nokia 2004
Additional safety information
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 guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public to account for
any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be well below the
maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach
the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close
you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this device type when tested for
use at the ear is 1.27W/kg, and when properly work on the body is 0.78W/kg. SAR
information on file with the FCC can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID QMNRM-19. SAR values reported in
other countries may vary depending on differences in reporting and testing
requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under
product information at www.nokia.com.

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.
113
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 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
114
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 nonemergency 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.For more
information, please call 1-888-901-SAFE.

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
117
• 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
118
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
119
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
120
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
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
121
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
122
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.
