FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
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 U.S, Canada and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2cm) from the user’s body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.79 inches (2cm) 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 0.79 inches (2cm)
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.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna (Optional,
if available.)
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be
maintained between the user / bystander and the vehicle-mounted
external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For
more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized
antennas or modifications could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty and/or result in violation of FCC
regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes in contact with the skin a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used.They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the Main Menu Screen. 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.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of
radiationemitting 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 radiofrequency energy (RF) 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 do
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.
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 energy (RF) 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 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 energy
(RF). 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 scientific data do 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 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 energy (RF), 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
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
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 energy
(RF). The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health
Organization International Electromagnetic 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 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.
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 energy (RF) 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 telephones 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 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 identification number on
your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the
online listing.
health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. *
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, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
limit established by the governmentadopted 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 phone when tested for use at
the ear is 0.89 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user’s manual, is 1.00 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phones models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
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. 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 BEJA133R.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the CellularTelecommunications 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.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio Frequency Exposure
Guidelines.

IC ID: 2703C-A133R
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
radiofrequency energy (RF) 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 conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency
energy (RF) 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 we don’t 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, 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 10 or more
years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some
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.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop
a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic 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 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.

Warning! Important Safety Information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your phone and/
or headset at a high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You
can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound
normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked.
The louder the volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use your phone and/or headset

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six 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 ofWireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six 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.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.
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

Safety
TIA(Telecommunications Industry Association) 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 it is ON, it receives and also 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)
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.
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, IC Regulations
(and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised antennas, modifications, 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 efficiently:
Do not 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of ireless 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 first
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 so require.
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.
