Health and safety information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

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 (FCC) 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 the

safety standards that were developed by

independent scientific organizations through

periodic and through evaluation of scientific

studies.

The standards include a substantial safety

margin designed to assure the safety of all

persons, regardless of age and health.

Memory settings Change the settings related

with the memory and

check information about

the memory currently in

use. You can also clear the

memory.

Reset settings Reset the phone’s settings

you have changed.

Menu Description

The exposure standard for wireless phones

employs a unit of measurement known as

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit

recommended by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

SAR tests are conducted using standard

operating positions specified by the FCC 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 of the phone.

Before a new model phone 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. While there may be

differences between the SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, they all meet

the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment

Authorization for this model phone with all

reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance

1. 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 of safety to give

additional protection for the public and to

account for any variations in

measurements.

Health and safety information

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/fccid

after searching on FCC ID printed in the label

on the phone.

For body operation

For body worn operation, this model phone has

been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure

guidelines when used with a Samsung-supplied

or approved accessory designated for this

product or when used with and accessory that

contains no metal and that positions the

handset a minimum from the body.

The minimum distance for this model phone is

written in the FCC certification information from

the body. None compliance with the above

conditions may violate FCC RF exposure

guidelines.

Precautions when using batteries

• Never use any charger or battery that is

damaged in any way.

• Use the battery only for its intended

purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network’s

base station, it uses less power; talk and

standby time are greatly affected by the

signal strength on the cellular network and

the parameters set by the network operator.

• Battery charging time depends on the

remaining battery charge, the type of

battery and the charger used. The battery

can be charged and discharged hundreds of

times, but it will gradually wear out. When

the operation time (talk time and standby

time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is

time to buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will

discharge itself over time.

• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and

recharge your battery only with Samsung-

approved chargers. When a charger is not in

use, disconnect it from the power source. Do

not leave the battery connected to a charger

for more than a week, since overcharging

may shorten its life.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the

charging capacity of your battery: it may

require cooling or warming first.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold

places, such as in a car in summer or winter

conditions, as you will reduce the capacity

and lifetime of the battery. Always try to

keep the battery at room temperature. A

phone with a hot or cold battery may

temporarily not work, even when the battery

is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are

particularly affected by temperatures below

0 °C (32 °F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental

short-circuiting can occur when a metallic

object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct

connection between the + and – terminals of

the battery (metal strips on the battery), for

Health and safety information

example when you carry a spare battery in a

pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals

may damage the battery or the object

causing the short-circuiting.

• Dispose used batteries in accordance with

local regulations. Always recycle. Do not

dispose batteries in a fire.

Road safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful

ability to communicate by voice, almost

anywhere, anytime. But an important

responsibility accompanies the benefits of

wireless phones, one that every user must

uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first

responsibility. When using your wireless phone

behind the wheel of a car, practice good

common sense and remember the following

tips:

• Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If

available, these features help you to place

your call without taking your attention off

the road.

• When available, use a hands-free device. If

possible, add an extra layer of convenience

and safety to your wireless phone with one

of the many hands-free accessories available

today.

• Position your wireless phone within easy

reach. Be able to access your wireless phone

without removing your eyes from the road. If

you get an incoming call at an inconvenient

time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

• 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, ice, and even

heavy traffic can be hazardous.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers

while driving. Jotting down a To Do list or

flipping through your Address Book takes

your attention away from your primary

responsibility, driving safely.

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if

possible, place calls when you are not

moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to

plan calls when your car will be stationary. If

you need to make a call while moving, dial

only a few numbers, check the road and your

mirrors, then continue.

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Make

the people with whom you are talking aware

that you are driving and suspend

conversations that have the potential to

divert your attention from the road.

• Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial

the emergency number in the case of fire,

traffic accident or medical emergencies.

Remember, it is a free call on your wireless

phone!

• Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. If you see a car accident,

crime in progress or other serious

emergency where lives are in danger, call

the emergency number, as you would want

others to do for you.

• 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 any other special

non-emergency wireless number.

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in

force in any area and always switch off your

Health and safety information

phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or

when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to

another device, read its user’s guide for

detailed safety instructions. Do not connect

incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting

equipment, users are advised that for the

satisfactory operation of the equipment and for

the safety of personnel, it is recommended that

the equipment should only be used in the

normal operating position (held to your ear with

the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded

from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,

certain electronic equipment may not be

shielded against the RF signals from your

wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to

discuss alternatives.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a

minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be

maintained between a wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with

the pacemaker. These recommendations are

consistent with the independent research and

recommendations of Wireless Technology

Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should always keep the phone more than 15

cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when

the phone is switched on.

• should not carry the phone in a breast

pocket.

• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker

to minimize potential interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place, switch off your

phone immediately.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with

some hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may wish to consult your

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss

alternatives.

Other medical devices

If you use any other personal medical devices,

consult the manufacturer of your device to

determine if it is adequately shielded from

external RF energy. Your physician may be able

to assist you in obtaining this information.

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.

Vehicles

RF 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.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Switch off your phone in any facility where

posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your phone when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all

signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas

Health and safety information

could cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone while

at a refueling point (service station). Users are

reminded of the need to observe restrictions on

the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel

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 the areas below deck on boats,

chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles

using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane

or butane), areas where the air contains

chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or

metal powders, and any other area where you

would normally be advised to turn off your

vehicle engine.

Emergency calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates

using radio signals, wireless and landline

networks as well as user-programmed

functions, which cannot guarantee connection

in all conditions. Therefore, you should never

rely solely on any wireless phone for essential

communications (medical emergencies, for

example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the

phone must be switched on and in a service

area with adequate signal strength. Emergency

calls may not be possible on all wireless phone

networks or when certain network services and/

or phone features are in use. Check with local

service providers.

To make an emergency call:

If the phone is not on, switch it on.

1. Key in the emergency number for your

present location (for example, 911 or other

official emergency number). Emergency

numbers vary by location.

2. Press [ ].

If certain features are in use (call barring, for

example), you may first need to deactivate

those features before you can make an

emergency call. Consult this document and

your local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to

give all the necessary information as accurately

as possible. Remember that your 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.

Other important safety information

• Only qualified personnel should service the

phone or install the phone in a vehicle.

Faulty installation or service may be

dangerous and may invalidate any warranty

applicable to the device.

• Check regularly that all wireless phone

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and

operating properly.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids,

gases, or explosive materials in the same

compartment as the phone, its parts or

accessories.

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag,

remember that an air bag inflates with great

force. Do not place objects, including both

installed or portable wireless equipment in

the area over the air bag or in the air bag

deployment area. If wireless equipment is

improperly installed and the air bag inflates,

serious injury could result.

• Switch off your phone before boarding an

aircraft. The use of wireless phones in

Health and safety information

aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to

the aircraft’s operation.

• Failure to observe these instructions may

lead to the suspension or denial of telephone

services to the offender, or legal action, or

both.

Care and maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and

craftsmanship and should be treated with care.

The suggestions below will help you fulfill any

warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this

product for many years:

• Keep the phone and all its parts and

accessories out of the reach of small

children’s.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity

and liquids contain minerals that will corrode

electronic circuits.

• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing

so may cause an electric shock to you or

damage to the phone.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty

areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High

temperatures can shorten the life of

electronic devices, damage batteries, and

warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When

the phone warms up to its normal operating

temperature, moisture can form inside the

phone, which may damage the phone’s

electronic circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone.

Rough handling can break internal circuit

boards.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning

solvents or strong detergents to clean the

phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly

dampened in a mild soap-and-water

solution.

• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the

device’s moving parts and prevent proper

operation.

• Do not put the phone in or on heating

devices, such as a microwave oven, a stove

or a radiator. The phone may explode when

overheated.

• Use only the supplied or an approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas or modified accessories may

damage the phone and violate regulations

governing radio devices.

• If the phone, battery, charger or any

accessory is not working properly, take it to

your nearest qualified service facility. The

personnel there will assist you, and if

necessary, arrange for service.

Appendix A: CERTIFICATION

INFORMATION (SAR)

THIS 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 safety

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.

Health and safety information

The exposure standard for wireless mobile

phones employs a unit of measurement known

as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR

limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests are

conducted using standard operating positions

accepted by the FCC 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 new model phone 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 values of this model phone as

reported to FCC are,

GSM 1900 mode Head Max:0.415 W/Kg, Body

Max: 0.552 W/Kg.

Body-worn operations are restricted to

Samsung-supplied, approved or none Samsung

designated accessories that have no metal and

must provide at least 1.5cm separation

between the device, including its antenna

whether extended or retracted, and the user’s

body. None compliance to the above restrictions

may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

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

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.

1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit

for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/

kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tis-

sue. The standard incorporates a substantial ma

gin of safety togive additional protection for the

public and to account for any variations in mea-

surements.

Health and safety information

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 seat belts 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.

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

Health and safety information

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.

Appendix C: Consumer Update on

Wireless Phones

U.S. Food and Drug Administration

1. 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 radio frequency energy (RF)

because of the short distance between the

phone and the user s head. These RF exposures

are limited by Federal Communications

Health and safety information

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

well within the FCC’s compliance limits.

2. 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 radio

frequency 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.

3. 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

radio frequency 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

• The National Institutes of Health participates

in some interagency working group

Health and safety information

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 primary subject

of the safety questions discussed in this

document.

4. 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 radio frequency 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.

5. What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radio frequency 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 radio frequency 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

Health and safety information

described above to reduce your RF exposure

from wireless phone use.

6. 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 radio frequency 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.

7. Do hands-free kits for wireless phones

reduce risks from exposure to RF

emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure

to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is

no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce

risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless

phones for convenience and comfort. These

systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in

the head because the phone, which is the

source of the RF emissions, will not be placed

against the head. On the other hand, if the

phone is mounted against 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 to

meet safety requirements regardless of

whether they are used against the head or

against the body. Either configuration should

result in compliance with the safety limit.

8. Do wireless phone accessories that claim to

shield the head from RF radiation work?

Since there are no known risks from exposure

to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is

no reason to believe that accessories that claim

to shield the head from those emissions reduce

risks. Some products that claim to shield the

user from RF absorption use special phone

cases, while others involve nothing more than a

metallic accessory attached to the phone.

Studies have shown that these products

generally do not work as advertised. Unlike

“hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may

interfere with proper operation of the phone.

The phone may be forced to boost its power to

compensate, leading to an increase in RF

absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade

Commission (FTC) charged two companies that

sold devices that claimed to protect wireless

phone users from radiation with making false

and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC,

these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to

substantiate their claim.

9. What about wireless phone interference

with medical equipment?

Radio frequency 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

Health and safety information

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 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.

10. 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

radio frequency 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, gioma, meningioma,

or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or

salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.

None of the studies demonstrated the existence

of any harmful health effects from wireless

phone RF exposures. However, none of the

studies can answer questions about long-term

exposures, since the average period of phone

use in these studies was around three years.

11. 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

Health and safety information

angle at which the phone is held, or which

model of phone is used.

12. Which other federal agencies have

responsibilities related to potential RF

health effects?

exposures from various sources can be
