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).
55

8. Do not turn your phone on or off while the device is in close proximity to your ear.
9. 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 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
61
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 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.
63
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). 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
64
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 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
65
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 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
66
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 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
67
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 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
68
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.
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
69
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 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 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
71
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 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
72
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.
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 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
74
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 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) between the user’s
body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.59 inches (1.5 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 0.59 inches (1.5 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 1.29
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.19 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
75
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 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
76
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 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
77
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.
