74Health and Safety InformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission of the U.S.Government. These limits are part of comprehensiveguidelines and establish permitted levels of RFenergy for the general population. The guidelines arebased on the safety standards previously set by bothU.S. and international standards bodies:•  American National Standards Institute (ANSI)IEEE. C95.1-1992•  National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986•  International Commission on Non-IonizingRadiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996•  Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.The standards include a substantial safety marginddesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC is 1.6W/kg *. *In the U.S. 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 ofsafety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations inmeasurements.
7675Health and Safety InformationTests for SAR are conducted using standard operatingpositions specified by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operation can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levelsso as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-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 bythe FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurementsmay differ among phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC requirements). Whilethere may be differences between the SAR levels ofvarious phones and at various positions, they all meetthe government requirement for safe exposure.For body worn operation, to maintain compliance withFCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Samsung-approved accessories. When carrying the phone whileit is on, use the specific Samsung-supplied orapproved carrying case, holster, or other body-wornaccessory.Use of non-Samsung-approved accessories mayviolate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should beavoided.For additional information concerning exposure toradio frequency signals, see the following websites:Federal Communications Commission (FCC)RF Safety program (select “Information on HumanExposure to RF Fields from Cellular and PCS RadioTransmitters”):http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafetyCellular Telecommunications IndustryAssociation (CTIA): http://www.wow-com.comWorld Health Organization (WHO)International Commission on Non-lonizing RadiationProtection (select Qs & As):http://www.who.int/emfUnited Kingdom, National RadiologicalProtection Board: http://www.nrpb.org.ukU.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Center for Devices and Radiological Health:http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumer/Health and Safety Information

Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levelsso as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output ofthe phone. Before a new model phone is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-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 bythe FCC for each model. While there may bedifferences between the SAR levels of various phonesand at various positions, they all meet the governmentrequirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for thismodel phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as incompliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SARinformation on this model phone is on file with the FCCand can be found under the Display Grant section ofhttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC IDprinted in the label on the phone.FCC certification information for this model phone isattached separation paper.For Body OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,  use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 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 concerning exposure to radiofrequency signals, see the following websites:Federal Communications Commission (FCC) http://www.fcc.gov/rfsafetyCellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA):http://www.wow-com.comU.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumerWorld Health Organization (WHO) http://www.who.int/peh-emf/ensafety-end-NorthA  1/27/03  2:05 PM  Page 126

But an important responsibility accompanies thosebenefits, one that every wireless phone user mustuphold. When driving a car, driving is your firstresponsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluabletool, but good judgment must be exercised at all timeswhile driving a motor vehicle-whether on the phone ornot. The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers.Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. Itrequires a heavy dose of basic common sense-keep yourhead up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrorsfrequently and watch out for other drivers. It requiresobeying all traffic signs and signals and staying withinthe speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiringother passengers to do the same. 142Before a new model phone is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that itdoes not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests areperformed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear andworn on the body) as required by the FCC for eachmodel.

Let the person you are speakingwith know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the callin heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavytraffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to payattention to the road. 5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers whiledriving. If you are reading an address book or businesscard, or writing a “to do” list while driving a car, you arenot watching where you are going. It’s common sense.Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because youare reading or writing and not paying attention to theroad or nearby vehicles. 6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, placecalls when you are not moving or before pulling intotraffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip orattempt to coincide your calls with times you may bestopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary.But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simpletip-dial only a few numbers, check the road and yourmirrors, then continue. 7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversationsthat may be distracting. Stressful or emotionalconversations and driving do not mix-they are distractingand even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of acar. Make people you are talking with aware you aredriving and if necessary, suspend conversations whichhave the potential to divert your attention from the road. 144But with wireless phone use, driving safely means alittle more.

1468. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wirelessphone is one of the greatest tools you can own toprotect yourself and your family in dangerous situations-with your phone at your side, help is only three numbersaway. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in thecase of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medicalemergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wirelessphone! 9. Use your wireless phone to help others inemergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a perfectopportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community.If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or otherserious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1or other local emergency number, as you would wantothers to do for you. 10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary. Certainsituations you encounter while driving may requireattention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call foremergency services. But you still can use your wirelessphone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicleposing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minortraffic accident where no one appears injured or avehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistanceor other special non-emergency wireless number.Careless, distracted individuals and people drivingirresponsibly represent a hazard to everyone on the road.Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications IndustryAssociation and the wireless industry have conductededucational outreach to inform wireless phone users of147their responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens.As we approach a new century, more and more of us willtake advantage of the benefits of wireless telephones.And, as we take to the roads, we all have aresponsibility to drive safely.“The wireless industry reminds you to use your phonesafely when driving.”Cellular Telecommunications & Internet AssociationFor more information, please call 1-888-901-SAFE.

149low level RF that does not produce heating effectscauses no known adverse health effects. Many studiesof low level RF exposures have not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies have suggested that somebiological effects may occur, but such findings have notbeen confirmed by additional research. In some cases,other researchers have had difficulty in reproducingthose studies, or in determining the reasons forinconsistent results.3. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wirelessphones?Under the law, FDA does not review the safety ofradiation-emitting consumer products such as wirelessphones before they can be sold, as it does with newdrugs or medical devices. However, the agency hasauthority to take action if wireless phones are shown toemit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could requirethe manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users ofthe health hazard and to repair, replace or recall thephones so that the hazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDAregulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phoneindustry to take a number of steps, including thefollowing:Support needed research into possible biological effectsof RF of the type emitted by wireless phones; Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RFexposure to the user that is not necessary for devicefunction; and Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the148Appendix C: Consumer Update on Wireless PhonesU.S. Food and Drug Administration1. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?The term  wireless phone  refers here to hand-heldwireless phones with built-in antennas, often called  cell,mobile,  or  PCS  phones. These types of wireless phonescan expose the user to measurable radiofrequencyenergy (RF) because of the short distance between thephone and the user s head. These RF exposures arelimited by Federal Communications Commission safetyguidelines that were developed with the advice of FDAand other federal health and safety agencies. When thephone is located at greater distances from the user, theexposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RFexposure decreases rapidly with increasing distancefrom the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” whichhave a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in ahouse, typically operate at far lower power levels, andthus produce RF exposures well within the FCC’scompliance limits.2. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that anyhealth problems are associated with using wirelessphones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phonesare absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels ofradiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range whilebeing used. They also emit very low levels of RF when inthe stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF canproduce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure toAAppppeennddiixxAAppppeennddiixxsafety-end-NorthA  1/27/03  2:05 PM  Page 148
1514. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possiblehealth effects of wireless phone RF?FDA is working with the U.S. National ToxicologyProgram and with groups of investigators around theworld to ensure that high priority animal studies areconducted to address important questions about theeffects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).FDA has been a leading participant in the World HealthOrganization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)Project since its inception in 1996. An influential resultof this work has been the development of a detailedagenda of research needs that has driven theestablishment of new research programs around theworld. The Project has also helped develop a series ofpublic information documents on EMF issues.FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Researchand Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientificoversight, obtaining input from experts in government,industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-fundedresearch is conducted through contracts to independentinvestigators. The initial research will include bothlaboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.The CRADA will also include a broad assessment ofadditional research needs in the context of the latestresearch developments around the world.5. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure toradiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?150best possible information on possible effects of wirelessphone use on human health FDA belongs to an interagency working group of thefederal agencies that have responsibility for differentaspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at thefederal level. The following agencies belong to thisworking group:National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Environmental Protection Agency Federal Communications Commission Occupational Safety and Health Administration National Telecommunications and InformationAdministration The National Institutes of Health participates in someinteragency working group activities, as well.FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wirelessphones with the Federal Communications Commission(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States mustcomply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure.FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safetyquestions about wireless phones.FCC also regulates the base stations that the wirelessphone networks rely upon. While these base stationsoperate at higher power than do the wireless phonesthemselves, the RF exposures that people get from thesebase stations are typically thousands of times lower thanthose they can get from wireless phones. Base stationsare thus not the primary subject of the safety questionsdiscussed in this document.AAppppeennddiixxAAppppeennddiixxsafety-end-NorthA  1/27/03  2:05 PM  Page 150
153Some groups sponsored by other national governmentshave advised that children be discouraged from usingwireless phones at all. For example, the government inthe United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing sucha recommendation in December 2000. They noted that noevidence exists that using a wireless phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limitwireless phone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based on scientific evidencethat any health hazard exists.7. Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risksfrom exposure to RF emissions?Since there are no known risks from exposure to RFemissions from wireless phones, there is no reason tobelieve that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kitscan be used with wireless phones for convenience andcomfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RFenergy in the head because the phone, which is thesource of the RF emissions, will not be placed againstthe head. On the other hand, if the phone is mountedagainst the waist or other part of the body during use,then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required tomeet safety requirements regardless of whether they areused against the head or against the body. Eitherconfiguration should result in compliance with the safetylimit.8. Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield thehead from RF radiation work?152If there is a risk from these products—and at this pointwe do not know that there is—it is probably very small.But if you are concerned about avoiding even potentialrisks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize yourexposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is akey factor in how much exposure a person receives,reducing the amount of time spent using a wirelessphone will reduce RF exposure.If you must conduct extended conversations by wirelessphone every day, you could place more distance betweenyour body and the source of the RF, since the exposurelevel drops off dramatically with distance. For example,you could use a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phone connectedto a remote antenna Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful. But if you are concernedabout the RF exposure from these products, you can usemeasures like those described above to reduce your RFexposure from wireless phone use.6. What about children using wireless phones?The scientific evidence does not show a danger to usersof wireless phones, including children and teenagers. Ifyou want to take steps to lower exposure toradiofrequency energy (RF), the measures describedabove would apply to children and teenagers usingwireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phoneuse and increasing the distance between the user andthe RF source will reduce RF exposure.AAppppeennddiixxAAppppeennddiixxsafety-end-NorthA  1/27/03  2:05 PM  Page 152
155FDA has tested hearing aids for interference fromhandheld wireless phones and helped develop avoluntary standard sponsored by the Institute ofElectrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standardspecifies test methods and performance requirements forhearing aids and wireless phones so that that nointerference occurs when a person uses a  compatiblephone 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 forpossible interactions with other medical devices. Shouldharmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conducttesting to assess the interference and work to resolvethe problem.10. What are the results of the research done already?The research done thus far has produced conflictingresults, and many studies have suffered from flaws intheir research methods. Animal experimentsinvestigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yieldedconflicting results that often cannot be repeated in otherlaboratories. A few animal studies, however, havesuggested that low levels of RF could accelerate thedevelopment of cancer in laboratory animals. However,many of the studies that showed increased tumordevelopment used animals that had been geneticallyengineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals soas to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absenceof RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RFfor up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are notsimilar to the conditions under which people usewireless phones, so we don t know with certainty what154Since there are no known risks from exposure to RFemissions from wireless phones, there is no reason tobelieve that accessories that claim to shield the headfrom those emissions reduce risks. Some products thatclaim to shield the user from RF absorption use specialphone cases, while others involve nothing more than ametallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies haveshown that these products generally do not work asadvertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called“shields” may interfere with proper operation of thephone. The phone may be forced to boost its power tocompensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. InFebruary 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC)charged two companies that sold devices that claimed toprotect wireless phone users from radiation with makingfalse and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC,these defendants lacked a reasonable basis tosubstantiate their claim.9. What about wireless phone interference with medicalequipment?Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones caninteract with some electronic devices. For this reason,FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measureelectromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiacpacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones.This test method is now part of a standard sponsored bythe Association for the Advancement of Medicalinstrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort byFDA, medical device manufacturers, and many othergroups, was completed in late 2000. This standard willallow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakersand defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.AAppppeennddiixxAAppppeennddiixxsafety-end-NorthA  1/27/03  2:05 PM  Page 154
157156the results of such studies mean for human health.Three large epidemiology studies have been publishedsince December 2000. Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possible association between the use ofwireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain orsalivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of thestudies demonstrated the existence of any harmfulhealth effects from wireless phone RF exposures.However, none of the studies can answer questionsabout long-term exposures, since the average period ofphone use in these studies was around three years.11. What research is needed to decide whether RFexposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiologicalstudies of people actually using wireless phones wouldprovide some of the data that are needed. Lifetimeanimal exposure studies could be completed in a fewyears. However, very large numbers of animals would beneeded to provide reliable proof of a cancer promotingeffect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can providedata that is directly applicable to human populations, but10 or more years  follow-up may be needed to provideanswers about some health effects, such as cancer. Thisis because the interval between the time of exposure toa cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - ifthey do - may be many, many years. The interpretation ofepidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties inmeasuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use ofwireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,such as the angle at which the phone is held, or whichmodel of phone is used.12.
