Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.DRIVING SAFETYTalking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes rst. Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your rst responsibility.• Use hands-free operation, if available.• Pull o the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.An airbag inates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inates, serious injury could result. WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage.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).OTHER 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.
134 135 02030405060701VEHICLESRF signals may aect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.

136 137 02030405060701SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSUREWARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USINGCAUTIONSIn 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.BODY-WORN OPERATIONThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 2 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 2 cm 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, please visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov.SAR INFORMATIONTHIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’SREQUIREMENTS 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 radiofrequency (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 scientic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic 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 Specic 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 certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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 certied 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 0.915 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
138 139 02030405060701guide, is 0.628 W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements dier among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be dierences 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 20mm separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain no metallic components.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this model phone is on le with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on JYCTOW.Additional information on Specic Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular 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 (HAC) FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICESPCD’S COMMITMENTPCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benets 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 M4WHAT 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 eectively 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 C63.19. 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 “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.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
140 141 02030405060701hearing 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.FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HEARING AIDS AND DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE• FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility and Volume Control – http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro/hearing.html• Hearing Loss Association of America – http://www.hearingloss.org/learn/cellphonetech.asp• CTIA – http://www.accesswireless.org/hearingaid/• Gallaudet University, RERC – http://tap.gallaudet.edu/voice FDA CONSUMER UPDATEU.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION  CENTER FOR DEVICES AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH CONSUMER UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientic 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 idle mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health eects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating eects causes no known adverse health eects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological eects. Some studies have suggested that some biological eects may occur, but such ndings have not been conrmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had diculty 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 scientic 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 eects 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 eects of wireless phone use on human health.FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for dierent aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated eorts 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
142 143 02030405060701• 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 aretypically 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 conicting results, and many studies have suered from aws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the eects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conicting 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 eects 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 eect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
144 145 02030405060701that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health eects, 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 diculties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors aect 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 nd out more about the possible health eects 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 eects 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 inuential 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 scientic 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 nd 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 Specic 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 eects. 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 identication number on your phone so you can nd 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 Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the rst 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
146 147 02030405060701greatly improve the consistency of measurements made at dierent 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 o 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 scientic 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 scientic 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 leaets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill eects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientic 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 debrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The nal draft, a joint eort 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 debrillators 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 species 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.

Where can I nd additional information?For additional information, please refer to the following resources:• FDA web page on wireless phones(http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htm)• Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection(http://www.icnirp.de)• World Health Organization (WHO) International EMF Project(http://www.who.int/peh-emf/en/)• National Radiological Protection Board (UK)(http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/)AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSSProlonged exposure to loud sounds is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientic research suggests that using portable audio devices, and cellular 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 aected.• 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 mued speech or experience any temporary hearing diculty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
