Shared memory
The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, text and
multimedia messages, instant messaging, voice tags, images, ringing tones,
video clips, sound clips, camera, calendar, to-do notes, notes, and Java™ games
and applications. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory

memory features before continuing. Some of the features may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory shared
with other features.
Refer to the appropriate area of this User Guide for information on how to
manage the features and data in your device.

Connectivity
You can connect the phone to a compatible device or PC using an IR connection
or a data cable. You can also use the phone as a wireless modem to enable GPRS
mobile link from a compatible PC.
For information on using a data communication application, refer to the
documentation provided with the application.
For more information on Nokia PC Suite applications, see the Nokia PC Suite
online help. Nokia PC Suite and all related software can be downloaded from
www.nokia.com/us.
Infrared
You can send or receive data such as business cards, graphics, images, sound
clips, videos, and calendar notes to or from a compatible phone or data device
(such as a computer) using the IR port of your phone.
For better performance during an IR connection, place the phone on a stationary
surface. Do not move the phone while the IR connection is active. The preferable
distance between the two devices in an IR connection is from 3 inches to 3 feet.
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.

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, remote synchronization, Java
application downloading, and the PC dial-up. Your phone can support three
simultaneous GPRS connections.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS, or EDGE) is similar to GPRS but the connection is 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.
The phone can support three simultaneous GPRS connections.
DEFINE GPRS CONNECTION
Depending on your service, you may be able to define when the phone connects
to the GPRS or EDGE network.
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS Connection and one
of the following:
When neededThe phone registers and connects to the GPRS or EDGE network
only if you use a function that needs the GPRS service. The connection closes
when you exit the application. Establishing a connection may take longer than
when Always online is selected.
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.
When you start an application using GPRS, the connection between the phone
and the network is established. When you exit the application, the connection
ends, but the phone is still registered to the network.
GPRS MODEM SETTINGS
When you use your Nokia phone as a wireless modem, you can enable a GPRS
mobile link 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.

16 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.
Enhancements
A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements:
Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement,
grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and
are operating properly.
Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified
personnel only.

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 device.
Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean any lenses (such as camera, proximity
sensor, and light sensor lenses).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device and
may violate regulations governing radio devices.

Additional safety information
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off 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 or when positioned at least 5/8 inch (1.5 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 5/8 inch (1.5 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 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.
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 in (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
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your device immediately.

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.

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 End 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 Call.
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.

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 and guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the public,
regardless of age and health and to account for any variations in measurements.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. 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 when tested
according to international testing procedures for use at the ear for device type
RM-47 is 0.22 W/kg and for device type RM-48 is 0.00 W/kg. Your phone’s
device type is listed on the label located under the battery.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements
and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result
in different SAR values. Additional SAR information may be provided under
product information at www.nokia.com.
USA and Canada: The SAR limit of USA (FCC) and Canada (IC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over one gram of tissue. Device types RM-47 and RM-48 have also been tested
against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during
product certification for device type RM-47 when used at the ear is 0.43 W/kg
and when properly worn on the body is 0.11 W/kg. The highest SAR value reported
under this standard during product certification for device type RM-48 when
used at the ear is 0.00 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.00 W/kg.

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.

Appendix A Message from the CTIA
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 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
6170.ENv1_9235535.book Page 100 Monday, November 15, 2004 3:06 PM
FCC DRAFT
101
Appendix B Message from the FDA
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, 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
6170.ENv1_9235535.book Page 101 Monday, November 15, 2004 3:06 PM
FCC DRAFT
102
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 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 (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.
