Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless
Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner’s
manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language
is encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone 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)
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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
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.

13
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
•
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 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.
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 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.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

14

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Centre for Devices and
Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones.
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the 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.
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

18
Safety Guidelines
are shown to emit radio frequency 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 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 (Administración
de la seguridad y salud laborales)
•
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.
