TIA Safety InformationThe following is the complete TIASafety Information for wirelesshandheld phones.

Exposure to Radio FrequencySignal

Your wireless handheld portablephone is a low power radiotransmitter and receiver. WhenON, it receives and sends outRadio Frequency (RF) signals.In August, 1996, the FederalCommunications Commissions(FCC) adopted RF exposureguidelines with safety levels forhandheld wireless phones. Thoseguidelines are consistent with thesafety standards previously setby both U.S. and internationalstandards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)* American National StandardsInstitute; National Council onRadiation Protection andMeasurements; InternationalCommission on Non-IonizingRadiation Protection.Those standards were based oncomprehensive and periodicevaluations of the relevantscientific literature. For example,over 120 scientists, engineers,and physicians from universities,government health agencies, andindustry reviewed the availablebody of research to develop theANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phonecomplies with the FCC guidelines(and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or anapproved replacement antenna.

79

Safety

Unauthorized antennas,modifications, or attachmentscould damage the phone andmay violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold thephone as you would any othertelephone with the antennapointed up and over yourshoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

FDA ConsumerUpdate

The U.S. Food and DrugAdministration’s Center forDevices and Radiological HealthConsumer Update on MobilePhones:

1. Do wireless phones pose ahealth hazard?

The available scientific evidencedoes not show that any healthproblems are associated withusing wireless phones. There isno proof, however, that wirelessphones are absolutely safe.Wireless phones emit low levelsof Radio Frequency (RF) energyin the microwave range whilebeing used. They also emit verylow levels of RF when in standbymode. Whereas high levels of RFcan produce health effects (byheating tissue), exposure to lowlevel RF that does not produce

heating effects causes no knownadverse health effects. Manystudies of low level RF exposureshave not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies havesuggested that some biologicaleffects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmedby additional research. In somecases, other researchers have haddifficulty in reproducing thosestudies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA's roleconcerning the safety ofwireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does notreview the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products suchas wireless phones before theycan be sold, as it does with newdrugs or medical devices.However, the agency hasauthority to take action ifwireless phones are shown to

89

Safety

emit Radio Frequency (RF)energy at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such acase, the FDA could require themanufacturers of wireless phonesto notify users of the healthhazard and to repair, replace, orrecall the phones so that thehazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientificdata do not justify FDAregulatory actions, the FDA hasurged the wireless phoneindustry to take a number ofsteps, including the following:l Support needed research into

possible biological effects ofRF of the type emitted bywireless phones;

l Design wireless phones in away that minimizes any RFexposure to the user that isnot necessary for devicefunction; and

l Cooperate in providing usersof wireless phones with thebest possible information onpossible effects of wirelessphone use on human health.

The FDA belongs to aninteragency working group of thefederal agencies that haveresponsibility for differentaspects of RF safety to ensurecoordinated efforts at the federallevel. The following agenciesbelong to this working group:l National Institute for

Occupational Safety andHealth

l Environmental ProtectionAgency

l Occupational Safety andHealth Administration

l National Telecommunicationsand InformationAdministration

Safety

90

Safety

The National Institutes of Healthparticipates in some interagencyworking group activities, as well.The FDA shares regulatoryresponsibilities for wirelessphones with the FederalCommunications Commission(FCC). All phones that are soldin the United States must complywith FCC safety guidelines thatlimit RF exposure. The FCC relieson the FDA and other healthagencies for safety questionsabout wireless phones.The FCC also regulates the basestations that the wireless phonenetworks rely upon. While thesebase stations operate at higherpower than do the wirelessphones themselves, the RFexposures that people get fromthese base stations are typicallythousands of times lower thanthose they can get from wirelessphones. Base stations are thus

not the subject of the safetyquestions discussed in thisdocument.

3. What kinds of phones arethe subject of this update?

The term “wireless phone” refershere to handheld wireless phoneswith built-in antennas, oftencalled “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS”phones. These types of wirelessphones can expose the user tomeasurable Radio Frequency(RF) energy because of the shortdistance between the phone andthe user’s head. These RF exposures are limitedby FCC safety guidelines thatwere developed with the adviceof the FDA and other federalhealth and safety agencies. Whenthe phone is located at greaterdistances from the user, theexposure to RF is drasticallylower because a person's RF

91

Safety

exposure decreases rapidly withincreasing distance from thesource. The so-called “cordlessphones,” which have a base unitconnected to the telephonewiring in a house, typicallyoperate at far lower power levels,and thus produce RF exposuresfar below the FCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of theresearch done already?

The research done thus far hasproduced conflicting results, andmany studies have suffered fromflaws in their research methods.Animal experiments investigatingthe effects of Radio Frequency(RF) energy exposurescharacteristic of wireless phoneshave yielded conflicting resultsthat often cannot be repeated inother laboratories. A few animalstudies, however, have suggestedthat low levels of RF couldaccelerate the development of

cancer in laboratory animals.However, many of the studiesthat showed increased tumordevelopment used animals thathad been genetically engineeredor treated with cancer-causingchemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer inthe absence of RF exposure.Other studies exposed theanimals to RF for up to 22 hoursper day. These conditions arenot similar to the conditionsunder which people use wirelessphones, so we do not know withcertainty what the results of suchstudies mean for human health.Three large epidemiology studieshave been published sinceDecember 2000. Between them,the studies investigated anypossible association between theuse of wireless phones andprimary brain cancer, glioma,meningioma, or acousticneuroma, tumors of the brain or

Safety

92

Safety

salivary gland, leukemia, or othercancers. None of the studiesdemonstrated the existence ofany harmful health effects fromwireless phone RF exposures.However, none of the studies cananswer questions about long-term exposures, since theaverage period of phone use inthese studies was around threeyears.5. What research is needed todecide whether RF exposurefrom wireless phones poses ahealth risk?

A combination of laboratorystudies and epidemiologicalstudies of people actually usingwireless phones would providesome of the data that areneeded. Lifetime animal exposurestudies could be completed in afew years. However, very largenumbers of animals would beneeded to provide reliable proof

of a cancer promoting effect ifone exists. Epidemiologicalstudies can provide data that isdirectly applicable to humanpopulations, but ten or moreyears follow-up may be neededto provide answers about somehealth effects, such as cancer.This is because the intervalbetween the time of exposure toa cancer-causing agent and thetime tumors develop — if theydo — may be many, many years.The interpretation ofepidemiological studies ishampered by difficulties inmeasuring actual RF exposureduring day-to-day use of wirelessphones. Many factors affect thismeasurement, such as the angleat which the phone is held, orwhich model of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing tofind out more about thepossible health effects of

93

Safety

wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S.National Toxicology Program andwith groups of investigatorsaround the world to ensure thathigh priority animal studies areconducted to address importantquestions about the effects ofexposure to Radio Frequency(RF) energy. The FDA has been a leadingparticipant in the World HealthOrganization InternationalElectro Magnetic Fields (EMF)Project since its inception in1996. An influential result of thiswork has been the developmentof a detailed agenda of researchneeds that has driven theestablishment of new researchprograms around the world. Theproject has also helped developa series of public informationdocuments on EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular

Telecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formalCooperative Research AndDevelopment Agreement(CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. The FDAprovides the scientific oversight,obtaining input from experts ingovernment, industry, andacademic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conductedthrough contracts withindependent investigators. Theinitial research will include bothlaboratory studies and studies ofwireless phone users. TheCRADA will also include a broadassessment of additionalresearch needs in the context ofthe latest research developmentsaround the world.

7. How can I find out how muchRadio Frequency energyexposure I can get by using mywireless phone?

Safety

94

Safety

All phones sold in the UnitedStates must comply with FederalCommunications Commission(FCC) guidelines that limit RadioFrequency (RF) energy exposures.The FCC established theseguidelines in consultation withthe FDA and the other federalhealth and safety agencies. TheFCC limit for RF exposure fromwireless phones is set at aSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR)of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg). The FCC limit isconsistent with the safetystandards developed by theInstitute of Electrical andElectronic Engineering (IEEE) andthe National Council onRadiation Protection andMeasurement. The exposure limittakes into consideration thebody’s ability to remove heatfrom the tissues that absorbenergy from the wireless phoneand is set well below levels known

to have effects. Manufacturers ofwireless phones must report theRF exposure level for each modelof phone to the FCC.

The Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers (IEEE) isdeveloping a technical standardfor measuring the RadioFrequency (RF) energy exposurefrom wireless phones and otherwireless handsets with theparticipation and leadership ofFDA scientists and engineers.The standard, “Recommended

95

Safety

Practice for Determining theSpatial-Peak Specific AbsorptionRate (SAR) in the Human BodyDue to Wireless CommunicationsDevices: ExperimentalTechniques”, sets forth the firstconsistent test methodology formeasuring the rate at which RF isdeposited in the heads ofwireless phone users. The testmethod uses a tissue-simulatingmodel of the human head.Standardized SAR testmethodology is expected togreatly improve the consistencyof measurements made atdifferent laboratories on thesame phone. SAR is themeasurement of the amount ofenergy absorbed in tissue, eitherby the whole body or a smallpart of the body. It is measuredin watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) ofmatter. This measurement is usedto determine whether a wirelessphone complies with safety

guidelines.

9. What steps can I take toreduce my exposure to RadioFrequency energy from mywireless phone?

If there is a risk from theseproducts — and at this point wedo not know that there is — it isprobably very small. But if youare concerned about avoidingeven potential risks, you can takea few simple steps to minimizeyour exposure to RadioFrequency (RF) energy. Sincetime is a key factor in how muchexposure a person receives,reducing the amount of timespent using a wireless phone willreduce RF exposure. If you mustconduct extended conversationsby wireless phone every day, youcould place more distancebetween your body and thesource of the RF, since theexposure level drops off

dramatically with distance. Forexample, you could use aheadset and carry the wirelessphone away from your body oruse a wireless phone connectedto a remote antenna. Again, thescientific data do notdemonstrate that wirelessphones are harmful. But if youare concerned about the RFexposure from these products,you can use measures like thosedescribed above to reduce yourRF exposure from wireless phoneuse.10. What about children usingwireless phones?

The scientific evidence does notshow a danger to users ofwireless phones, includingchildren and teenagers. If youwant to take steps to lowerexposure to Radio Frequency(RF) energy, the measuresdescribed above would apply to

children and teenagers usingwireless phones. Reducing thetime of wireless phone use andincreasing the distance betweenthe user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored byother national governments haveadvised that children bediscouraged from using wirelessphones at all. For example, thegovernment in the UnitedKingdom distributed leafletscontaining such arecommendation in December2000. They noted that noevidence exists that using awireless phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wirelessphone use by children wasstrictly precautionary; it was notbased on scientific evidence thatany health hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phoneinterference with medicalequipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energyfrom wireless phones can interactwith some electronic devices. Forthis reason, the FDA helpeddevelop a detailed test methodto measure Electro MagneticInterference (EMI) of implantedcardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators from wirelesstelephones. This test method isnow part of a standardsponsored by the Association forthe Advancement of MedicalInstrumentation (AAMI). Thefinal draft, a joint effort by theFDA, medical devicemanufacturers, and many othergroups, was completed in late2000. This standard will allowmanufacturers to ensure thatcardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators are safe from

wireless phone EMI.The FDA has tested hearing aidsfor interference from handheldwireless phones and helpeddevelop a voluntary standardsponsored by the Institute ofElectrical and ElectronicEngineers (IEEE). This standardspecifies test methods andperformance requirements forhearing aids and wireless phonesso that no interference occurswhen a person uses a“compatible” phone and a“compatible” hearing aid at thesame time. This standard wasapproved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA continues to monitorthe use of wireless phones forpossible interactions with othermedical devices. Should harmfulinterference be found to occur,the FDA will conduct testing toassess the interference and workto resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety TipsYour wireless phone gives you thepowerful ability to communicateby voice almost anywhere,anytime. An importantresponsibility accompanies thebenefits of wireless phones, onethat every user must uphold.When operating a car, driving isyour first responsibility. Whenusing your wireless phone behindthe wheel of a car, practice goodcommon sense and rememberthe following tips:1. Get to know your wireless

phone and its features such asspeed dial and redial. Carefullyread your instruction manualand learn to take advantage ofvaluable features most phonesoffer, including automaticredial and memory. Also, workto memorize the phonekeypad so you can use the

99

Safety

speed dial function withouttaking your attention off theroad.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number ofhands-free wireless phoneaccessories are readilyavailable today. Whether youchoose an installed mounteddevice for your wireless phoneor a speaker phone accessory,take advantage of thesedevices if available to you.

3. Make sure you place yourwireless phone within easyreach and where you canreach it without removingyour eyes from the road. Ifyou get an incoming call at aninconvenient time, if possible,let your voicemail answer it foryou.

4. Suspend conversations duringhazardous driving conditionsor situations. Let the personyou are speaking with knowyou are driving; if necessary,suspend the call in heavytraffic or hazardous weatherconditions. Rain, sleet, snow,and ice can be hazardous, butso is heavy traffic. As a driver,your first responsibility is topay attention to the road.

5. Don’t take notes or look upphone numbers while driving.If you are reading an addressbook or business card, orwriting a “to-do” list whiledriving a car, you are notwatching where you are going.It is common sense. Do notget caught in a dangeroussituation because you arereading or writing and notpaying attention to the road

Safety

100

Safety

or nearby vehicles.6. Dial sensibly and assess the

traffic; if possible, place callswhen you are not moving orbefore pulling into traffic. Tryto plan your calls before youbegin your trip or attempt tocoincide your calls with timesyou may be stopped at a stopsign, red light, or otherwisestationary. But if you need todial while driving, follow thissimple tip -- dial only a fewnumbers, check the road andyour mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful oremotional conversations thatmay be distracting. Stressfulor emotional conversationsand driving do not mix; theyare distracting and evendangerous when you arebehind the wheel of a car.Make people you are talkingwith aware you are driving and

if necessary, suspendconversations which have thepotential to divert yourattention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to callfor help. Your wireless phone isone of the greatest tools youcan own to protect yourselfand your family in dangeroussituations -- with your phoneat your side, help is only threenumbers away. Dial 911 orother local emergency numberin the case of fire, trafficaccident, road hazard, ormedical emergency. Remember,it’s a free call on your wirelessphone!

9. Use your wireless phone tohelp others in emergencies.Your wireless phone providesyou a perfect opportunity tobe a “Good Samaritan” inyour community. If you see anauto accident, crime in

101

Safety

progress or other seriousemergency where lives are indanger, call 911 or other localemergency number, as youwould want others to do foryou.

10. Call roadside assistance or aspecial wireless non-emergency assistancenumber when necessary.Certain situations youencounter while driving mayrequire attention, but are noturgent enough to merit a callfor emergency services. Butyou can still use yourwireless phone to lend ahand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing noserious hazard, a brokentraffic signal, a minor trafficaccident where no oneappears injured or a vehicleyou know to be stolen, callroadside assistance or other

special non-emergencywireless number.

The above tips are meant asgeneral guidelines. Beforedeciding to use your mobiledevice while operating a vehicle,it is recommended that youconsult your applicablejurisdiction’s local laws or otherregulations regarding such use.Such laws or other regulationsmay prohibit or otherwiserestrict the manner in which adriver may use his or her phonewhile operating a vehicle.

Consumer Informationon SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets theGovernment’s Requirements forExposure to Radio Waves. Yourwireless phone is a radiotransmitter and receiver. It is

designed and manufactured notto exceed the emission limits forexposure to radiofrequency (RF)energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission(FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC exposure limits arederived from therecommendations of two expertorganizations, the NationalCounsel on Radiation Protectionand Measurement (NCRP) andthe Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE). Inboth cases, therecommendations weredeveloped by scientific andengineering experts drawn fromindustry, government, andacademia after extensive reviewsof the scientific literature relatedto the biological effects of RFenergy. The exposure Limit for wirelessmobile phones employs a unit of

measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR is a measure of the rateof absorption of RF energy bythe human body expressed inunits of watts per kilogram(W/kg). The FCC requireswireless phones to comply with asafety limit of 1.6 watts perkilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCCexposure limit incorporates asubstantial margin of safety togive additional protection to thepublic and to account for anyvariations in measurements. Tests for SAR are conductedusing standard operatingpositions specified by the FCCwith the phone transmitting at itshighest certified power level in alltested frequency bands.Although SAR is determined atthe highest certified power level,the actual SAR level of the phonewhile operating can be well below

103

Safety

the maximum value. Because thephone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels to use onlythe power required to reach thenetwork, in general, the closeryou are to a wireless base stationantenna, the lower the poweroutput. Before a phone model is availablefor sale to the public, it must betested and certified to the FCCthat it does not exceed the limitestablished by the government-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests areperformed in positions andlocations (e.g., at the ear andworn on the body) as requiredby the FCC for each model. This device was tested for typicalbody-worn operations with theback of the phone kept 0.79inches (2.0 cm) between theuser’s body and the back of thephone. To comply with FCC RF

exposure requirements, aminimum separation distance of0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must bemaintained between the user sbody and the back of the phone.Third-party belt-clips, holsters,and similar accessoriescontaining metallic componentsshould not be used. Body-wornaccessories that cannot maintain0.79 inches (2.0 cm) separationdistance between the user'sbody and the back of the phone,and have not been tested fortypical body-worn operationsmay not comply with FCC RFexposure limits and should beavoided. The FCC has granted anEquipment Authorization for thismodel phone with all reportedSAR levels evaluated as incompliance with the FCC RFemission guidelines. The highest SAR value for this

model phone when tested foruse at the ear is 1.41 W/kg andwhen worn on the body, asdescribed in this user’s manual, is0.686 W/kg. While there may bedifferences between SAR levels ofvarious phones and at variouspositions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safeexposure.SAR information on this modelphone is on file with the FCCand can be found under theDisplay Grant section ofhttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccidafter searching on FCC ID.To find information that pertainsto a particular model phone, thissite uses the phone FCC IDnumber which is usually printedsomewhere on the case of thephone. Sometimes it may benecessary to remove the batterypack to find the number. Onceyou have the FCC ID number for

FCC Hearing-AidCompatibility (HAC)Regulations for WirelessDevices On July 10, 2003, the U.S.Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) Report andOrder in WT Docket 01-309modified the exception ofwireless phones under theHearing Aid Compatibility Act of1988 (HAC Act) to requiredigital wireless phones becompatible with hearing-aids.The intent of the HAC Act is toensure reasonable access totelecommunications services forpersons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones areused near some hearing devices(hearing aids and cochlearimplants), users may detect abuzzing, humming, or whiningnoise. Some hearing devices are

more immune than others to thisinterference noise, and phonesalso vary in the amount ofinterference they generate.The wireless telephone industryhas developed a rating systemfor wireless phones, to assisthearing device users find phonesthat may be compatible withtheir hearing devices. Not allphones have been rated.Phones that are rated have therating on their box or a labellocated on the box. The ratings are not guarantees.Results will vary depending onthe user’s hearing device andhearing loss. If your hearingdevice happens to be vulnerableto interference, you may not beable to use a rated phonesuccessfully. Trying out thephone with your hearing deviceis the best way to evaluate it foryour personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 orM4 meet FCC requirements andare likely to generate lessinterference to hearing devicesthan phones that are not labeled.M4 is the better/higher of thetwo ratings.T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 orT4 meet FCC requirements andare likely to generate lessinterference to hearing devicesthan phones that are notlabeled. T4 is the better/higherof the two ratings.Hearing devices may also berated. Your hearing devicemanufacturer or hearing healthprofessional may help you findthis rating. Higher ratings meanthat the hearing device isrelatively immune to interferencenoise. The hearing aid andwireless phone rating values arethen added together. A sum of 5is considered acceptable for

normal use. A sum of 6 isconsidered for best use.

In the above example, if a hearingaid meets the M2 level ratingand the wireless phone meetsthe M3 level rating, the sum ofthe two values equal M5. This issynonymous for T ratings. Thisshould provide the hearing aiduser with “normal usage” whileusing their hearing aid with theparticular wireless phone.“Normal usage” in this context isdefined as a signal quality that isacceptable for normal operation.
