FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the wireless device.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this wireless device
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Body-worn(Wrist) and Next-to-Mouth operation
This device was tested for typical body worn (Wrist) operations with the
back of the device kept 0 inches (0cm) between the user’s body (Wrist).
This device was also tested for typical Next to-Mouth (Face) operations
with the front of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) from the user’s mouth
(Face). To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the
user’s mouth (Face) and the front of the device. Any accessories containing
metallic components may not be used.

Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the wireless
device, void your warranty and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don’t use the wireless device with a damaged antenna. A damaged
antenna could cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Safety

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,
emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer
information addresses commonly asked questions about the health
effects of wireless devices.

Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and
continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and
procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on
health issues related to wireless device usage where it states, “The
scientific community at large … believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) from wireless devices and adverse health outcomes.
Still the scientific community does recommend conducting additional
research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted
around the world and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this
field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov
(under “c”in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can
also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFOFDA. In June
2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted.
The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “there is no
scientific evidence that proves that wireless device usage can lead to
cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or
memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/
cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for
wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is

Safety
available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.
One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests
for SAR are conducted with the wireless device transmitting at its highest
power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required
that the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per
kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR
value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported
SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call,
depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the
wireless device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free
devices. For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56
and 65 at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/
Documents/bulletins or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association website at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/
AID/10371. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless
device.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.
You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,
as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC
website states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF
energy in the head because the wireless device, which is the source of the
RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the
wireless device is mounted against the waist or other part of the body
during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless
devices marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body.
Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also,
if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a wireless device

Safety
with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and
follow your wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe
operation of your wireless device.

Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.”
The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by
other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from
using wireless devices at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the
United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000.
In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists
that using a wireless device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The
UK’s] recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk
(search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11
ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on wireless
device and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.
hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their
children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless
device use.

Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model wireless device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit for wrist watch used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue or 4.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over ten gram of
tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the wireless device 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
wireless device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
Because the wireless device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a wireless device 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

Safety
by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model when tested for use at Next-toMouth (Face) is 0.76 W/kg (1g) and for Limb-Worn (Wrist) is 2.30 W/kg
(10g), depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between SAR levels of various wireless devices
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model wireless
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model wireless

TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld
devices.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable device 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 devices.

Safety
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* 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 wireless device complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards)

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the wireless device
and may violate FCC regulations.

Wireless device Operation
Hold the wireless device approximately 6 inches (minimal distance is
0.39 inches) from the mouth and speak normally.

Tips on Efficient Operation
For your wireless device to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the wireless device is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the wireless
device to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Safety
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless device.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless device 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:
• Should ALWAYS keep the wireless device more than six (6) inches from
their pacemaker when the wireless device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;
• Should turn the wireless device OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Health Care Facilities
Turn your wireless device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

Safety
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities
Turn your wireless device OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.

Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. Switch
OFF your wireless device before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your wireless device OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”.
Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your wireless device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain,
dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices
and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Wireless devices:
1. Do wireless devices pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
wireless devices are absolutely safe. Wireless devices emit low levels of
Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They
also emit very low levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas high levels
of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

Safety
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless devices?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless devices before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless devices 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 devices to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the wireless
devices so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,
the FDA has urged the wireless device industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless devices;
• Design wireless devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless devices with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless device use on human health.
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:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• 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 devices with the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All wireless devices that are

Safety
sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit
RF exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for
safety questions about wireless devices.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless device networks
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
wireless devices themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can
get from wireless devices. Base stations are thus not the subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of wireless devices are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless device” refers here to handheld wireless devices with
built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” wireless devices.
These types of wireless devices can expose the user to measurable Radio
Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the wireless
device 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 wireless device is located at greater distances from
the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
The so-called “cordless devices,” which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and
thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposures characteristic of wireless devices 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

Safety
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 devices, so we do not know with certainty what the results of
such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies
have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association between the use of wireless devices
and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of
the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from
wireless device RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer
questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of wireless
device use in these studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from
wireless devices poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless devices would provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few
years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide
reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,
but ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between
the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors
develop — if they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF
exposure during day-to-day use of wireless devices. Many factors affect
this measurement, such as the angle at which the wireless device is held,
or which model of wireless device is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health
effects of wireless device 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

Safety
studies are conducted to address important questions 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 driven the establishment of
new research programs around the world. The project has also helped
develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless device safety. The FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,
and academic organizations. CTIAfunded research is conducted through
contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the
context of the latest research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I
can get by using my wireless device?
All wireless devices 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 devices is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit
is consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb
energy from the wireless device and is set well below levels known to
have effects. Manufacturers of wireless devices must report the RF
exposure level for each model of wireless device to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the

Safety
FCC identification number on your wireless device so you can find your
wireless device’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy
coming from wireless devices?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposure from wireless devices 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 device 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 wireless device.
SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue,
either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in
watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless device complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency
energy from my wireless device?
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 device will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct
extended conversations by wireless device every day, you could place
more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could
use a headset and carry the wireless device away from your body or use a
wireless device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data
does not demonstrate that wireless devices are harmful. But if you are

Safety
concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless device use.
10. What about children using wireless devices?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
devices, 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 devices.
Reducing the time of wireless device 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 devices 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
11. What about wireless device interference with medical equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless devices 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 devices.
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
device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless devices 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.

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

7.11 Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of
consumer goods:
• The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790
et seq],
• The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C
§§2101 et seq], and
• The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission
Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703].
A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that
the product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair,
or replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies
include damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service
contract or for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC
§2310(d).] Except for some labeling and disclosure requirements,
the federal Act does not preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]
The Consumer Warranty Act does not affect the rights and obligations
of parties under the state Uniform Commercial Code, except the
provisions of the Act prevail over provisions of the Commercial Code
when they conflict. [CC §1790.3.]
For purposes of small claims actions, this course will focus on rights
and duties under the state laws.
