as an alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
1. Use of non-original, non-manufacturer-approved
accessories may violate your local RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
2. Use only original, manufacturer-approved
accessories when such accessories contain metal
of any kind.
3. Avoid using your phone near strong
electromagnetic sources, such as microwave
ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
4. Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for
example, the steel frame of a building).
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
or where flammable materials exist, the device should be
turned off and the user should obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling
points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded
of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked such as fueling areas, below
deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and including, but not limited to areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.

FUNCTIONS
37
This product may cause medical equipment to
malfunction. The use of this device is prohibited in most
hospitals and medical clinics for which regulations and
rules are commonly posted in such facilities. In these
instances, turn your phone OFF as health care facilities
frequently use equipment that is adversely affected by
RF energy. If you use any personal medical device(s),
consult the manufacturer of your device(s) to determine if
the device(s) is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your health care provider may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should
be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the
radiative performance and safety from interference. As
with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment
and for personal safety, it is recommended that no part of
the human body should come too close to the antenna
during equipment operation.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call
quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the
recommended limits, as well as causing non-compliance
with local and national regulatory requirements. In
order to limit RF energy exposure and to ensure optimal
phone performance, operate the device only it its
normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area
may impair call quality and cause your device to operate
at a higher power level than needed which can reduce

TIA safety information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information 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
43
could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
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.
Persons with pacemakers:
44
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.
Health Care Facilities
Please refer to pages 10 and 11 of this guide for
information regarding medical interference with your
45

3. Use only Coolpad-approved chargers specific to
your phone model as they are designed to
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
47
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
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 in
your mouth may cause serious injury.
2. Placing items containing magnetic strip
components (e.g.: credit cards, phone cards, bank
48
books, subway tickets) near your phone may
damage the data stored in the magnetic strips.
3. Talking on the phone for long periods of time may
reduce call quality due to heat generation.
4. Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged
as it may cause a slight contact burn. Please
communicate with a Coolpad Authorized Service
Center to replace the damaged antenna.
5. Do not immerse your phone in water. If this
happens, immediately turn the phone OFF and
remove the battery. If the phone does not work,
take it to a Coolpad Authorized Service Center.
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 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.
49
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
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.
50
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 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
52
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).
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
53
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
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
54
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 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?
55
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
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.
56
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 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.
57
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of measurements 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 phone, so you can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online listing.
58
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) 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
59
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 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”
60
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
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
61
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.
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
62
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 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
63
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.
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
(Specific Absorption Rate)
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
64
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 (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
65
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.
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 0.97 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.33 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.
66
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 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
67
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 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
68
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 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.
