SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
Read This Information Before Using Your Handheld Portable Cellular Telephone
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. If you must use your phone while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
•
Use hands-free operation and/or one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag 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 could 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.
99
SAFETY
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when using your phone.
Doing so could result in interference with the function of the pacemaker.
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.
HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF in health care 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.
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.
SAFETY
100
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.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling
areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or 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’s engine.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
Warning! Read this information before using your phone.
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 15 mm from the body.
101
SAFETY
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories
that maintain a 15 mm 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.
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 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 1.47 W/kg PCS CDMA Head SAR
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.809 W/kg PCS CDMA Body SAR. (Body-worn
SAFETY
102
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 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/fccid after searching on O6Y-
PCS1400.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.phonefacts.net.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
U.S. Food and Drug Administration Cell Phone Facts Consumer
Information on Wireless Phones
1. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld 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 well within the FCC's
compliance limits.
2. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
103
SAFETY
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 standby 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 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 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
SAFETY
104
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency 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 primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
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 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, glioma,
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.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?
105
SAFETY
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 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. 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.
SAFETY
106
• 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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
107
SAFETY
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.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason,
FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and 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.

EMERGENCY CALLS
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can
be avoided, since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio signals, relay stations and landline
networks for its operation. Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under all conditions on
all wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone, however, may sometimes be the only available means of
communication at the scene of an accident. When making an emergency call, always give the recipient all
necessary information as accurately as possible. Never terminate an emergency call until you have received
clearance to do so.
FCC ENHANCED 911 (E911) RULES
Background
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless carriers to transmit specific latitude and
longitude location (Automatic Location Identification = ALI) information as well as “911” calls to Public Safety
Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of the caller in case of emergency.
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the actual
location for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent of calls.
Slice's ALI Capability
The Slice is an ALI-capable phone equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a
satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by
the wireless network; (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not
always work indoors, for example) ; and (c) handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” (atmospheric and
environmental conditions may cause variations in handset receiving signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system constraints within the wireless
network to which the E911 signal is transmitted and over which UT Starcom has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the Slice's ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.
This feature allows you to place an emergency call even if your phone is in “Phone Lock” or “Restrict” mode
109
SAFETY
when you dial the preprogrammed emergency number, 911, #911, or *911. It also operates in out-of-service
areas.
The phone maintains emergency mode until you press after disconnecting an emergency call. In
emergency call mode, the phone can receive an incoming call from any available system.
