Health and safety informationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information (SAR) Your wireless Device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed andmanufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless Devices to comply with a safety limitof 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencybands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the Device while operating can be well below the maximumvalue. This is because the Device is designed to operate at multiple power levels soas 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 Device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested andcertified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model Device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. atthe ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. SAR information on this and other model devices can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the devices FCC ID number for search, A3LSMR750B. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular device, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular device. Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephonesPage 28 of 40
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless Devices. The FDA publication includes the following information:What kinds of Devices are the subject of this update?The term wireless Device refers here to hand-held wireless Devices with built-inantennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” Devices. These types of wirelessDevices can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because ofthe short distance between the Device and the user's head. These RF exposures arelimited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the Device is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF isdrastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless Devices,” which have a base unitconnected 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. Do wireless Devices pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless Devices. There is no proof, however, that wirelessDevices are absolutely safe. Wireless Devices emit low levels of radio frequencyenergy (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. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless Devices?Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless Devices before they can be sold, as it does with newdrugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless Devices are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless Devices to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recallthe Devices so that the hazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless Device industry to take a number of steps, including the following:“Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the typeemitted by wireless Devices;“Design wireless Devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure tothe user that is not necessary for device function; and“Cooperate in providing users of wireless Devices with the best possibleinformation on possible effects of wireless Device 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 HealthConsumer Information on Wireless DevicesPage 29 of 40
“Environmental Protection Agency“Federal Communications Commission“Occupational Safety and Health Administration“National Telecommunications and Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless Devices with the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC). All Devices that are sold in the United Statesmust comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless Devices.FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless Device networks rely upon.While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless Devicesthemselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless Devices. Basestations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document. 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 Deviceshave 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 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 Devices, so we don't know withcertainty 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 Devices and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acousticneuroma, 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 Devices RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions aboutlong-term exposures, since the average period of Device use in these studies wasaround three years. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless Devices poses a health risk?A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless Devices would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetimeanimal 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 ten 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 Page 30 of 40
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless Devices. Many factors affect this measurement,such as the angle at which the Device is held, or which model of Device is used.What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless Device 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 Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless Device safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input fromexperts 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 Device users. The CRADAwill also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from my wireless Device?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 Device will reduce RF exposure.“If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless Device 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 Device away from your body.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless Devices are harmful. Butif 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 Device use.What about children using wireless Devices?The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless Devices,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 Devices. Reducing the time of wireless Device useand 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 Devices at all. For example, the government inPage 31 of 40
the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless Devicecauses brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless Device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientificevidence that any health hazard exists. Do hands-free kits for wireless Devices reduce risks from exposure to RFemissions? Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless Devices, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-freekits can be used with wireless Devices for convenience and comfort. These systemsreduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the Device, which is thesource of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the Device is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, thenthat part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless Devices marketed in theU.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. Do wireless Device accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiationwork? Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless Devices, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the headfrom those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special Device cases, while others involve nothing more than ametallic accessory attached to the Device. Studies have shown that these productsgenerally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the Device. The Device may be forced to boostits 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 Device users from radiation with making false andunsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim. What about wireless Device interference with medical equipment?Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless Devices can interact with someelectronic 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 Device EMI. FDA has tested wireless Devices and helped develop avoluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless Devices so that no interference occurs when a personuses a compatible Device and a compatible hearing aid at the same time. Thisstandard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless Devices for possible interactions withother medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will Page 32 of 40
conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless Devices, one that every user must uphold.When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless Device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember thefollowing tips: 1. Get to know your wireless Device and its features, such as speed dial andredial. If available, these features help you to place your call without takingyour attention off the road.2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layerof convenience and safety to your wireless Device with one of the manyhands free accessories available today.3. Position your wireless Device within easy reach. Be able to access yourwireless Device without removing your eyes from the road. If you get anincoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.4. 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.5. Do not take notes or look up Device numbers while driving. Jotting down a“to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away fromyour primary responsibility, driving safely.6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are notmoving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will bestationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,check the road and your mirrors, then continue.Page 33 of 40
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspendconversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.8. Use your wireless Device to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergencynumber in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.Remember, it is a free call on your wireless Device!9. Use your wireless Device to help others in emergencies. If you see anauto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where livesare in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you wouldwant others to do for you.10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistancenumber when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serioushazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appearsinjured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or otherspecial non-emergency number.“The wireless industry reminds you to use your Device safely whendriving.” For more information, please call 1-888-901-SAFE, or visit our web-site www.wow-com.com Provided by the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association Operating Environment Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch your Device off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interferenceor danger.

Using Your Device Near Other Electronic DevicesMost 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 Device. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless Device and a pacemaker to avoidpotential 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 Device more than 15 cm(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the Device is switched on.should not carry the Device 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 your Device off immediately.Hearing Aids Page 34 of 40
Some digital wireless Devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event ofsuch 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 your Deviceoff 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. Posted Facilities Switch your Device off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.Potentially Explosive Environments Switch your Device off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere andobey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised to switch the Device off 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 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 Device, like any wireless Device, operates using radio signals, wireless andlandline networks as well as user programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless Device for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example).Remember, to make or receive any calls the Device must be switched on and in aservice area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless Device networks or when certain network services and/ or Devicefeatures are in use. Check with local service providers. To make an emergency call: 1. If the Device is not on, switch it on.2. Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 orother official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.3. 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 Page 35 of 40
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 Device may be the only means ofcommunication at the scene of an accident; do not cut off the call until given permission to do so. Restricting Children's access to your DeviceYour Device is not a toy.
