Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, 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 phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientic research on the subject of wireless phones 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 phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health
issues related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientic community at large …believes that the weight of scientic
evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientic community does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments in this eld. 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) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative
research and development agreement through which additional scientic research is being conducted. The FCC issued
its own website publication stating that “there is no scientic evidence that proves that wireless phone 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 [phone] 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 phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One
of these limits is expressed as a Specic 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 phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands.
Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless phones 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 phone 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 phone 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 phone.
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 phones for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the
source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone 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 phones 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 conguration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use your wireless phone while in a car,
you can use a phone with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless phone
manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientic 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 phones 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 cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit cell
phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientic evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy
of the UK’s leaet 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 mobile phones 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 phone use.

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:
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 scientic 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 an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments 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 efciently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
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 phone.
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:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference;
• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
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 phone 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 representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone 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 phone 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 re 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 liqueed 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 inates 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 inates, serious injury could result.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on
Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientic 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 in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in idle 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 ndings have not been conrmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have had difculty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons
for inconsistent results.
2. 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 scientic data does not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone 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 phones;
• Design wireless phones 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 phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone
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 phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All
phones that are 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 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.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here 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 lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly 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, 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 conicting results, and many studies have suffered from aws in their research
methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conicting 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 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 phones 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 phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since
the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
5. 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 data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, 166 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 followup 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 cancercausing agent and the time tumors develop — if they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difculties 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.
6. 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 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 inuential 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 phone safety. The
FDA provides the scientic 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.
7. 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 Specic 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 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/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC
identication number on your phone so you can nd your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. 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 Specic Absorption
Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the rst
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
milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.
9. 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 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 phone away from your body or use a wireless
phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientic 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.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientic 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 leaets 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 scientic
evidence that any health hazard exists.
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 debrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The nal 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 debrillators 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 species 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 at the same time. 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.

Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if
using your phone while driving, please observe the following:
• Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your rst responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions or the law require it.
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 Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations
were developed by scientic and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews
of the scientic literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic 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.
