TIA safety information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information
44
for wireless handheld phones:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a
low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON,
it receives and 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, as follows:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards Institute; National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection. 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 available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of
your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
45
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily when operating the
phone. Contact with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed, thus reducing
battery life.
Driving
Always observe the laws and regulations regarding
wireless phone usages while driving. Where cell
phone use is permitted while driving, you MUST
observe the following:
1. Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is
your first responsibility;
2. Use hands-free operation, if available;
3. Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions or the law
requires that you do so.
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.
46
Persons with pacemakers:
1. Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six (6) inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;
2. Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
3. Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference;
4. Should turn the phone OFF immediately if
there is any reason to suspect that
interference is occurring.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals but some equipment or devices might not
be.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
please consult your service provider, or call customer
service regarding alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use other personal medical devices, consult the
device manufacturer to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy, or your health care
provider may be able to advice about any harmful
device interactions.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Be certain to contact the manufacturer or
representative regarding this as well as manufacturer
of any additional vehicle equipment.

it to your local wireless carrier for recycling.
2. The battery doesn’t need to be empty before
recharging, and replace the battery when it no
longer provides acceptable performance.
Note: The battery can be recharged several
hundred times and it does not need to be
empty in order to recharge.
3. Use only Coolpad-approved chargers specific
to your phone model as they are designed to
49
maximize battery life.
4. Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
5. Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.
6. Recharge the battery after long periods of
non-use to maximize battery life. Note:
Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and
environmental conditions.
7. Use of extended backlighting, Browser, and
data connectivity kits affect battery life as well
as talk/standby times.
8. The self-protection function of the battery cuts
the power of the phone when its operation is in
an abnormal state. In this case, remove the
battery from the phone, reinstall it, and turn the
phone on.
Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
1. Do not put your phone in a place that is subject
to excessive dust, and always keep the
minimum required distance between the power
cord and heat sources.
2. Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your
phone, and clean the power plug pin when
necessary.
3. When using the power plug, ensure that it’s
firmly connected.
4. Placing the phone in a pocket or bag without
covering the phone receptacle (power plug
pin), metallic articles (e.g.: coins, paperclips,
pens) may short-circuit the phone. Always
cover the receptacle when not in use.
5. Metallic articles that come into contact with the
50
phone may short-circuit the + and battery
terminals (metal strips) which may result in
battery damage, or even an explosion.
General Notice
1. Using a damaged battery or placing a battery

6. Do not paint your phone.
7. Phone data, including contact information,
ringtones, text messages, voice messages,
pictures or videos, etc., may be inadvertently
deleted due to careless use, phone repair, or
software upgrades. Please back up your
important phone numbers and all other vital
data. Note: Neither the manufacturer nor any
51
person or entity associated therewith is liable
for any damages whatsoever due to loss of
any or all data stored on any of your devices.
8. When using the phone in public places, set the
ringtone to vibration so you don't disturb
others.
9. Do not turn your phone on or off while the
device is in close proximity to your ear.
10. Use accessories, such as earphones and
headsets with caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not touch the
antenna.
Caution:
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
hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones
(including headsets, ear buds and Bluetooth®, or
other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound
has also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound,
and distorted hearing. 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. Hence,
individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and other hearing problems can vary. Please follow
52
these important guidelines for hearing loss
prevention:
1. Set the phone’s volume in a quiet environment
and select the lowest volume for which you
can hear clearly.
2. 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.
3. Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy
surroundings. If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy environment,
consider using noise-cancelling headphones
to block out background noise.
4. As the volume increases, less time is required
before your hearing could be affected, so
consider limiting your listening time.
5. Avoid using headphones after exposure to
extremely loud noises (e.g.: live concerts) that
might cause temporary hearing loss which, in
turn, might cause unsafe volume levels to
sound like normal levels.
6. 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 health care provider.

FDA consumer update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA)
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the 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 (RF) energy at a
level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the
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
54
hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data does not justify
FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
1. Support current and future research regarding
possible biological effects of the type of RF
emitted by wireless phones;
2. Design wireless phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is
not necessary for device function; and
3. Cooperate in providing users of wireless
phones with complete and accurate
information regarding possible effects of
wireless phone use on human health and
safety.
The 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:
1. National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health
2. Environmental Protection Agency
3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
4. National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities as well. The FDA
shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
55
All phones that are sold in the United States must
comply with FCC safety guidelines that act to limit RF
exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other
health agencies for safety questions about wireless
phones.
The 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.
2. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
Current 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 (RF) energy while
operating microwave ranges (which also emit very
low levels of RF when they are in standby mode).
While high levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects results in no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not uncovered any biological effects.
Although some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, and/or determining the
56
reasons for inconsistent results.
3. What are the results of the research done
already?
The research conducted 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 (RF) energy 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 it is largely unknown what the
results of such studies mean for human health and
safety. Three large epidemiology studies have been
published since December 2000. These studies
investigated possible associations between the use
of wireless phones and primary brain cancer (glioma,
meningioma, acoustic neuroma, other brain tumors,
and salivary gland tumors), leukemia, or other types
of cancer. None of the studies demonstrated the
existence of any harmful health effects from wireless
phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies
57
can provide absolute findings about long-term
exposures since the average period of phone use in
these studies was approximately three years.
4. What kinds of phones are the subjects of this
update?
Here the term “wireless phone” refers 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
Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety
guidelines that were developed with the advice of the
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 reduced
due to a person's RF exposure rapidly decreasing
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, thus
producing RF exposures far below the FCC safety
limits.
5. What is the FDA doing to find out more about
the possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
The 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 concerns about the effects of
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World
58
Health Organization International Electro Magnetic
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 implemented new research programs around
the world. The project has also resulted in a series of
public information documents on EMF issues. The
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to
conduct research on wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts with 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.
6. 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 vital data.
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
59
directly applicable to human populations, but ten or
more years of follow-up research may be needed to
provide answers about certain health effects, such as
cancer.
This is due to the interval between exposure time to a
cancer-causing agent and the rate for which tumors
develop - if they do. This could take several years
into the future. 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.
7. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio
Frequency energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
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
60
made at 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
mill-watts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless phone complies with
safety guidelines.
8. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency
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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and the other federal
health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless phones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6W/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/cgb/cellular.html) gives directions
for locating the FCC identification number on your
61
phone, so you can find your phone’s RF exposure
level in the online listing.
9. 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 (RF) energy, 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.
10. 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 (RF)
62
energy. 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 on a daily basis,
consider placing 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 does 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.
11. What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones
can interact with some electronic devices. For this
reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure Electro Magnetic 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 the 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
63
wireless phone EMI. The 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 simultaneously. This
standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. The
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones
for possible interactions with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference be found to occur, the
FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference
and work to resolve the problem.

Nine driver safety tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
64
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, when permitted by local
law, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
1. When available and permitted by local law,
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
65
4. Make sure you place your wireless phone
within easy reach and where you can reach it
without removing your eyes from the road. If
you get an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it
for you.
5. 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 at a stop sign, red
light, or otherwise stationary. But if you need to
dial while driving, follow this simple tip - dial
only a few numbers, and then check the road
and your mirrors then continue.
6. 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. Use common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
7. 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 911 or other local emergency number in
the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard,
or medical emergency. Remember, it’s a free
66
call on your wireless phone!
8. 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.
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 can still 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.
The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use your mobile
device while operating a vehicle, it is
recommended that you consult your applicable
jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations
regarding such use. Such laws or other
regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict
the manner in which a driver may use his or
her phone while operating a vehicle.
67
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 911 or other local emergency number, as
you would want others to do for you.
Consumer information on 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 radiofrequency (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 Council 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 for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or 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
68
(W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply
with a safety limit of 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. Tests for SAR 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
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. Because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
to use only the power required to reach the network,
generally, 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. This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the
back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39
inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained between the
user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party
belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing
metallic components should not be used.
69
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.83 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual,
is 1.10 W/kg. While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement
for safe exposure.
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/fccid/ after
searching on FCC ID.
To find information that pertains to a particular model
phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of
the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to
remove the battery pack to find the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for your phone, follow
the instructions on the website and it should provide
values for typical or maximum SAR for that phone.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
70
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.ctia.org/
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.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations
for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket
01- 309 modified the exception of wireless phones
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC
Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible
with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities. While
some wireless phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others
to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate. The wireless
telephone industry has developed a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing device users to
find phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that
are rated have the rating on their box or a label
located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees.
Results will vary depending on the user's hearing
71
device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may
not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying
out the phone with your hearing device is the best
way to evaluate this.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are
not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are
not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean
that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless
phone rating values are then added together. A sum
of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum
of 6 is considered for best use.
In the example illustrated above, if a hearing aid
meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone
meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values
equal M5. This should provide the hearing-aid user
with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with
72
the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this
context is defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable
for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U
mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with
the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended
by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are
referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The
HAC rating and measurement procedure are
described in the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
When you're talking on a cell phone, it's
recommended that you turn the BT (Bluetooth) mode
off for HAC.
