5.7.10 Ez Tip Calc
Ez Tip Calc allows you to split your bill.
there is a somewhat easy way to calculate the tip.
15% = 10% + 5%. So what you need to do is figure out 10% then add half (5%).
10% is very easy to calculate, you just move the decimal place one to the left. For
example, if the bill is $25.00 then 10% would be $2.50.
Then to figure out 5%, just take half of that, which would be $1.25.
Now you have 10% which is $2.50 and 5% which is $1.25, add them together for a total of
$3.75.
Often, the bill ends up at some obscure value such as $17.73, which may be a bit difficult
to calculate using the above method. In cases like that, just round it to the nearest dollar. It
would be much easier to calculate the tip for $18.00.

6 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
36
HANDHELDPORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the availablebody of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
1*: American National Standards Institute.
2*: National Council on Radiation protection and measurements.
3*: International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection.
ANTENNA SAFETY
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement
antenna.
DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states.
Remember, safety comes first. 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 first responsibility.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so
require.

modes. An airbag inflates 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 inflates,
serious injury could result.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and
possible property damage.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Your 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.
PACEMAKERS
The 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 AIDS
Some 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 DEVICES
If 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.
38
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
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before
boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an
authorized airline representative before using your phone aboard an aircraft. Always
follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your phone aboard an
aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.

6.1 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
In 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 OPERATION
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept
1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance 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 about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
6.2 SAR INFORMATION
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 radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
40
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.95 W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.66 W/ Kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a
15mm 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 file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on U46-CDM2035.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 W/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.

6.3 HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY HAC FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
PCD’S COMMITMENT
PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital
wireless technologies. We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices
for our customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M3/T3 WHAT IS
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system
designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless
telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones
with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard
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 hearing aid professional
about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have
wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

6.4 FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION - CENTER
FOR DEVICES AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH CONSUMER
UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated
with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are
absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the
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.
2. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products
such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical
devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to
emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health
hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged
the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• 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
43
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 inter-agency working group activities,
as well. FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must
comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other
health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at
higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get
from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get
from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subjects 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 conflicting results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the
effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have
44
yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few
animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals
that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to
be predisposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies
exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar
to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with
certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large
epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neu-roma, tumors of the brain or
salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the
existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However,
none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average
period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
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 effect if one
exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human
populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of
exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do -may be
many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.
Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or
which model of phone is used.
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted
to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of
this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has
45
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.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC
established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal health and
safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones is set at a
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC limit is
consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s ability to remove
heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online
listing.
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy
coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones
and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and
engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications
Devices: Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test methodology for
measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The
test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of measurements made at
46
different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of
energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is
measured in watts/ kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.
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 off dramatically with distance.
For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your
body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data
do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the
RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to
reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. 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 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.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic
47
devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators
from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the
Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a
joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. FDA has tested
hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a
voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing
aids and wireless phones so that that no interference occurs when a person uses a
“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000. FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found
to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the
problem.

6.5 AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSS
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio
devices, such as portable music players 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:
48
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you
can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen
to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out background environmental noise.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is
required before your hearing could be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock
concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss
might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing
in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing
difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and
consult your doctor.
