168 AppendixMaintenanceMaintaining the smartphone in optimal condition helps give it a very long service life.There are several ways to make sure the phone remains in top condition.Use a CaseA form-fitting, shock-absorbing case helps to protect the phone from more than just the occasional scratch or nick. A case can protect against shock from drops, impacts or neglect.Avoid WaterWater is devastating to all electronic devices. Avoid exposure to water and high humidity. If the phone is immersed in water, ensure that it is turned off. Do not reactivate the phone until it is completely dry. The best idea is to have it serviced. The DisplayThe touchscreen is a very sensitive, durable but also carefully engineered interactive surface. Scratches, excessive pressure and impacts damage the screen’s ability to sense contact and to display.Do not use excessive force when touching the screen and do not subject it to impacts.Avoid Drops and ShocksThis smartphone is a highly complex, precision-made electronic device. Impacts, drops and shocks can damage or even destroy the phone. The touchscreen is especially vulnerable to impacts.Appendix
Appendix 169Avoid DustParticulate matter like dust tends to corrupt and damage most electronic devices. Keep the phone away from dust and fine particles.Only Use Safe SoftwareCustomizing the phone is fun and can be very useful. However, some applications and procedures designed to alter the phone’s operating system or bypass the phone’s security measures can damage the phone. At the very least, data can be rendered irretrievable.Avoid using dangerous procedures or installing applications from unverified sources.CleaningKeep the phone clean to avoid organic substance buildup or residues. To clean the touchscreen, use a damp, soft cloth.Do not use any abrasive cleaners, and do not pour water directly onto the phone. The touchscreen and lens surfaces may be scratched. Avoid contacting them with any abrasive substance.Many cleaning products damage plastic, metal and glass components. These cleaners can include benzine, paint thinners or alcohol-based compounds. Be careful when choosing a cleaning product for use with this smartphone.ConnectorsThe connector is designed to fit snugly into the socket in the phone. Do not exert pressure or torsion on the connector. This connection is vital for the use of the phone, and if it is damaged, the phone may not be chargeable and it may be impossible to transfer data to and from a computer.The BatteryDo not subject the battery to abuse, pressure, shocks, moisture or fire. The battery is a chemical power storage device. It also has a significant electronic component. If it is shorted, it can cause fires. If pierced, its chemical components may cause injury.
170 AppendixDispose of spent or damaged batteries safely, in accordance with local regulations.Inserting and Removing CardsThis device is precision-designed to be compact and versatile. As a result, all of its moving parts are designed to take up as little space as possible. Do not use force to remove or insert memory cards into the phone, as this can damage both the card and the card socket.Backup DataBack up contacts, media files and email messages regularly, or keep them on a remote service, such as Google. if the phone is reset, is lost, or is stolen, all of the data and apps on the smartphone are lost. Backups help restore data which would otherwise be irretrievable.Charge IndoorsBe cautious when charging the phone outdoors. If left for a prolonged period outdoors, the phone may suffer from changes in humidity, from inclement weather or from unsanitary conditions.Only Use the Provided ChargersDo not use third-party chargers and charging cables or those meant for other devices. Doing this could damage the smartphone and void the warranty.Avoid Electric ShocksDo not subject the smartphone to electrical shocks or high levels of random static electricity. As an electrical device, this smartphone may be damaged by sudden surges in electrical power from either charging or from the environment.If the phone suffers from electrical damage, it may not be reparable.
Appendix 171Avoid HeatDo not leave the smartphone in very hot or sunny areas. The smartphone can withstand a wide temperature range, but excessive amounts of time sitting on the dashboard of a car in the sunlight, on a radiator or in a very hot environment can damage the electronic and physical components.Avoid ColdCold temperatures drain the battery more quickly than moderate or warm temperatures. To avoid stressing the battery’s energy-retention ability and shortening its life, avoid leaving the phone in sub-zero temperatures for prolonged periods of time.Do Not DisassembleDo not take this smartphone apart. While it may be possible to reassemble it, the parts and components of this smartphone are very delicate and are encased in the protective shell to keep them safe. Disassembling the phone can easily damage the phone’s internal components.Avoid Strong Electromagnetic FieldsDevices with strong electromagnetic fields or areas with strong natural electromagnetism may interfere with the phone’s ability to connect to networks and may also interfere with the phone’s regular operation.TroubleshootingShort Battery LifeThis happens when the phone is in an area with weak network coverage. Move to an area with better signal coverage so the phone does not need to expend as much energy to maintain reception. Also, refer to “Maximizing Battery Life” on page 172.
172 AppendixThe Smartphone Will Not Turn OnMake sure the battery is charged. Once plugged in, the battery must charge for a short time before the phone can be turned on.Dropped CallsMany issues can interrupt network signals, such as large metallic or concrete objects, being underground or moving too quickly between network nodes.The phone’s reception and data transfer abilities are tied to the strength of the local network. Between network nodes, it is possible for the phone to lose coverage. Also, though the phone dynamically shifts from one node to the next as it travels, it is possible for nodes to be too far apart or to fail.The simplest solution is to move to an area with better coverage. If signals continue to drop while traveling, staying in one place often helps.The phone has a very sensitive antenna, but in areas with poor signal strength, try holding the phone away from any large objects, including the human body. If necessary, use a hands-free device. Lifting it up sometimes helps when inside buildings.The object is always to create a clear path for network signals.Maximizing Battery LifeOver time, the battery will slowly lose its ability to hold a charge. This is a natural limitation of current battery technology. If the battery no longer maintains a charge, have the battery replaced.The more charging cycles the battery goes through, the more quickly its ability to hold a charge will diminish. That said, even if it remains unused, over time, the chemical power storage capacity of the battery will decrease. Simply not using the battery is not a good strategy. Avoid buying multiple spare batteries at the same time, as their ability to hold a charge begins to decrease immediately after manufacture.Under normal circumstances and use, the battery should be useful for years and thousands of charging cycles.
Appendix 173Power Saving StrategiesSeveral techniques exist to maintain power between charges.• Signal Strength: Use the phone in an area with good wireless coverage. Poor coverage forces the phone to use more power seeking out and identifying network signals.• Deactivating Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi service drains significant amounts of power. Use Wi-Fi while the phone is charging or restrict Wi-Fi usage to times when the connection needs to remain active.• Dimming the Screen: Lower the brightness level of the screen to conserve power. The screen eats up a large amount of power under normal circumstances.• Close Unused Apps: Applications that are not in current use may drain power by occupying the processor. Close them.• Deactivating Bluetooth: Using Bluetooth drains power, even when not paired with another device. Only keep Bluetooth active when it is required.Power Saving SettingsMany of these features are available under the Power saver menu in Settings.• Use Low Vibration: Making the phone vibrate less and lowering the sound volume for notifications reduces power usage slightly.• Use Silent Mode: Deactivating notifications makes a minor reduction in power usage.• Power saver: Activate the power saver function to make sure the phone turns off when not in use.• Screen Timeout: To conserve power, have the screen turn off in as short a time as possible.• Disable GPS: The GPS service drains power. Disable it when not needed.• Disable Background Data: Constantly refreshing background data drains power. Turn this off to converse power.• Auto Screen Brightness Adjustment: Activate this feature to have the phone automatically dim the screen whenever possible.
174 AppendixUpdating the SoftwareMany important software updates become available from time to time. These updates may improve the phone’s performance or deal with any outstanding issues.The latest software can be directly transmitted to the smartphone via wireless networks.Go to Settings > About phone > Software update. In Starter mode: Settings > System > About phone > Software updateThis page shows the current software version. Tap Status to see the smartphone’s current software operating state and the date of the last update. Tap Check New to check out the latest software and download it to your phone.App ManagementGo to Settings > Apps to individually manage the apps running on the smartphone.In Starter mode: Settings > System > AppsThis menu is more than a simple task-manager. Each app has options that modify how it functions. NoteInterfering with running applications may cause them to crash or may even cause the smartphone to crash. To get the smartphone working again, it might have to be restarted. Apps have both processes and services. The process is the main app functionality or the program itself. The services that run in the background provide the process with valuable and often critical information. Shutting down a service often corrupts or stops a process. For example, the Clock app requires an update service that keeps the clock accurate.

Appendix 179Safety Information for Wireless Handheld PhonesRead this information before using your handheld portable mobile telephone.Exposure to Radio Frequency SignalsYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:* ANSI C951 (1992)** NCRP Report 86 (1986) *** ICNIRP (1996) Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).* American National Standards Institute.** National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.*** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

Appendix 181Protect Your HearingListening to a headset at high volumes can damage your hearing. Use only the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your conversation or music.Electronic DevicesYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (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:• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
182 AppendixOther Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesTurn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.Other Safety GuidelinesAircraftFCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.

184 AppendixSafety Information for FCC RF Exposure Read this information before using.CautionsIn August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.In the United States, 5180–5240 MHz band is restricted to indoor-use only. Outdoor operation on this band is a strict violation of the FCC rules and can cause harmful interference to commercial radar communications. For outdoor operation, channels in 5180–5240 MHz band must not be used. If using automatic channel assignment, add channels in this band to the Automatic channel exclusion list.Body-Worn operationThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1cm. from the body. To maintain compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1cm separation distance between the user’s Body and the back of the phone, including the antenna.The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov.
Appendix 185SAR informationThis model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.03 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.76 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 for safe exposure.The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a 1cm separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain no metallic components.
186 AppendixThe FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on JYCPREMIAV.Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Mobile Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org.* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.Hearing Aid Compatibility for Wireless Telecommunication DevicesPCD’s commitmentPCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital wireless technologies.We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices for our customers who wear hearing aids.This phone has a HAC rating of M4/T3.What is Hearing Aid Compatibility?The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C6319. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a
Appendix 187“T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.How will I know which wireless phones are hearing aid compatible?The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider about its return and exchange policies and for information on hearing aid compatibility.How will I know if my hearing aid will work with a particular digital wireless phone?You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY modes.NoteA TTY is a communication device used by people who are hard of hearing or have a speech impairment. TTY does not work from mobile phone to mobile phone. Use a TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) to connect the TTY device to your phone. Your phone has a 3.5mm jack. Set the phone to Medium volume level for proper operation. If you experience a high number of incorrect characters, adjust the volume as needed to minimize the error rate. For optimal performance, your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device may cause high error rates.
Appendix 189FDA Consumer UpdatesU.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radilogical Health Consumer Update on Wireless Phones1. 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 Home Screen. 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:
190 Appendix• 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 AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates in some inter-agency 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.
Appendix 191These 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 predisposed 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 neu-roma, 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.
192 Appendix5. 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 Mobile 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.
Appendix 1937. 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.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research).) 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.
194 Appendix9. 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. 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.
Appendix 19511. 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 that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. 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.12.

196 AppendixAvoid potential hearing lossProlonged exposure to loud sounds is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, and mobile telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies.The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
