TIA (TelecommunicationsIndustry Association)Safety InformationThe following is the completeTIA Safety Information forwireless handheld phones.

Exposure to Radio FrequencySignal

Your wireless handheld portablephone is a low power radiotransmitter and receiver. When it isON, it receives and also sends outRadio Frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the FederalCommunications Commissions(FCC) adopted RF exposureguidelines with safety levels forhandheld wireless phones. Thoseguidelines are consistent withthe safety standards previouslyset by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:

l ANSI C95.1 (1992) * l NCRP Report 86 (1986) l ICNIRP (1996)l Health Canada, Safety Code

6, 1999.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 FCCguidelines, IC Regulations (andthose standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or anapproved replacement antenna.Unauthorized antennas,

73

FDA Consumer UpdateThe U.S. Food andDrug Administration’s

Center for Devices andRadiological Health ConsumerUpdate on Mobile Phones:

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 radiofrequency energy (RF) inthe microwave range while beingused. They also emit very lowlevels of RF when in the MainMenu Screen. Whereas highlevels of RF can produce healtheffects (by heating tissue),exposure to low level RF thatdoes not produce heating effects

causes no known adverse healtheffects. Many studies of low levelRF exposures have not found anybiological effects. Some studieshave suggested that somebiological effects may occur, butsuch findings have not beenconfirmed by additional research.In some cases, other researchershave had difficulty in reproducingthose studies, or in determiningthe reasons for inconsistentresults.

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 if

83

Safety

wireless phones are shown toemit radiofrequency energy (RF)at a level that is hazardous to theuser. In such a case, the FDAcould require the manufacturersof wireless phones to notifyusers of the health hazard and torepair, replace, or recall thephones so that the hazard nolonger 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

The National Institutes of Health

Safety

84

Safety

participates 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 relies on the FDA andother health agencies for safetyquestions about 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 thusnot the subject of the safety

questions 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 radiofrequencyenergy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone andthe user’s head. These RFexposures are limited by FCCsafety guidelines that weredeveloped with the advice of theFDA and other federal health andsafety agencies. When the phoneis located at greater distancesfrom the user, the exposure to RFis drastically lower because aperson's RF exposure decreasesrapidly with increasing distance

85

Safety

from the source. The so called“cordless phones,” which have abase unit connected to thetelephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lowerpower levels, and thus produceRF exposures far below the FCCsafety 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 radiofrequencyenergy (RF) 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 studies thatshowed increased tumordevelopment used animals thathad been genetically engineeredor treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as tobe pre-disposed to develop cancerin the absence of RF exposure.Other studies exposed the animalsto RF for up to 22 hours per day.These conditions are not similar tothe conditions under which peopleuse wireless phones, so we don’tknow with certainty what theresults of such studies mean forhuman health. Three largeepidemiology studies have beenpublished since December 2000.Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possibleassociation between the use ofwireless phones and primary braincancer, glioma, meningioma, oracoustic neuroma, tumors of thebrain or salivary gland, leukemia, or

Safety

86

Safety

other cancers. None of the studiesdemonstrated the existence of anyharmful health effects fromwireless phone RF exposures.However, none of the studies cananswer questions about long-termexposures, since the averageperiod of phone use in thesestudies was around three years.

5. What research is needed todecide whether RFexposure from wirelessphones poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratorystudies and epidemiologicalstudies of people actually usingwireless phones would providesome of the data that are needed.Lifetime animal exposure studiescould be completed in a few years.However, very large numbers ofanimals would be needed toprovide reliable proof of a cancerpromoting effect if one exists.

Epidemiological studies canprovide data that is directlyapplicable to human populations,but 10 or more years follow-upmay be needed to provide answersabout some health effects, such ascancer. This is because the intervalbetween the time of exposure to acancer-causing agent and the timetumors develop — if they do —may be many, many years. Theinterpretation of epidemiologicalstudies is hampered by difficultiesin measuring actual RF exposureduring day-to-day use of wirelessphones. Many factors affect thismeasurement, such as the angle atwhich the phone is held, or whichmodel of phone is used.

87

Safety

6. What is the FDA doing tofind out more about thepossible health effects ofwireless 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 frequencyenergy (RF). The FDA has been aleading participant in the WorldHealth Organization InternationalElectromagnetic 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 information

documents on EMF issues. TheFDA and the CellularTelecommunications & 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.

Safety

88

Safety

7. How can I find out howmuch radio frequencyenergy exposure I can getby using my wirelessphone?

All phones sold in the UnitedStates must comply with FederalCommunications Commission(FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures.The FCC established theseguidelines in consultation withthe FDA and the other federalhealth and safety agencies. TheFCC limit for RF exposure fromwireless telephones 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 and

Measurement. The exposure limittakes into consideration thebody’s ability to remove heatfrom the tissues that absorbenergy from the wireless phoneand is set well below levels knownto have effects. Manufacturers ofwireless phones must report theRF exposure level for each modelof phone to the FCC. The FCCwebsite (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions forlocating the FCC identificationnumber on your phone so youcan find your phone’s RFexposure level in the onlinelisting.

8. What has the FDA done tomeasure the radiofrequency energy comingfrom wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers (IEEE) isdeveloping a technical standard

89

Safety

for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposurefrom wireless phones and otherwireless handsets with theparticipation and leadership ofFDA scientists and engineers.The standard, “RecommendedPractice 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 of

energy 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 safetyguidelines.

9. What steps can I take toreduce my exposure toradio frequency energyfrom my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from theseproducts — and at this point wedo not know that there is — it isprobably very small. But if you areconcerned about avoiding evenpotential risks, you can take a fewsimple steps to minimize yourexposure to radio frequencyenergy (RF). Since time is a keyfactor in how much exposure aperson receives, reducing theamount of time spent using a

Safety

90

Safety

wireless phone will reduce RFexposure. If you must conductextended conversations bywireless phone every day, youcould place more distancebetween your body and thesource of the RF, since theexposure level drops offdramatically with distance. Forexample, you could use a headsetand carry the wireless phone awayfrom your body or use a wirelessphone connected to a remoteantenna. Again, the scientific datado not demonstrate that wirelessphones are harmful. But if you areconcerned about the RF exposurefrom these products, you can usemeasures like those describedabove to reduce your RF exposurefrom wireless phone use.

10. What about children usingwireless phones?

The scientific evidence does notshow a danger to users of wirelessphones, including children andteenagers. If you want to takesteps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), themeasures described above wouldapply to children and teenagersusing wireless phones. Reducingthe time of wireless phone use andincreasing the distance betweenthe user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groupssponsored by other nationalgovernments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from usingwireless phones at all. For example,the government in the UnitedKingdom distributed leafletscontaining such arecommendation in December2000. They noted that noevidence exists that using a

91

Safety

wireless phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wirelessphone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based onscientific evidence that any healthhazard exists.

11. What about wirelessphone interference withmedical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF)from wireless phones can interactwith some electronic devices. Forthis reason, the FDA helpeddevelop a detailed test methodto measure electromagneticinterference (EMI) of implantedcardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators from wirelesstelephones. This test method isnow part of a standardsponsored by the Association forthe Advancement of Medical

instrumentation (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 fromwireless phone EMI. The FDA hastested hearing aids forinterference 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 was

Safety

92

Safety

approved 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.

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 isdesigned 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, the

recommendations weredeveloped by scientific andengineering experts drawn fromindustry, government, andacademia after extensive reviewsof the scientific literature relatedto the biological effects of RFenergy. The exposure Limit forwireless mobile phones employsa unit of measurement known asthe Specific Absorption Rate, orSAR. The SAR is a measure ofthe rate of absorption of RFenergy by the human bodyexpressed in units of watts perkilogram (W/kg). The FCCrequires wireless phones tocomply with a safety limit of 1.6watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC exposure limitincorporates a substantial marginof safety to give additionalprotection to the public and to

account for any variations inmeasurements.

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 belowthe 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 FCC

that it does not exceed the limitestablished by thegovernmentadopted requirementfor safe exposure. The tests areperformed in positions andlocations (e.g., at the ear andworn on the body) as requiredby the FCC for each model. Thisdevice 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 RFexposure requirements, aminimum separation distance of0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must bemaintained between the user sbody and the back of the phone.Third-party beltclips, holsters,and similar accessoriescontaining metallic componentsshould not be used. Body-worn

Safety

accessories 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.
