Section 18: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using 
your phone. These safety precautions should be followed to 
safely use your phone.
Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Cer tification Infor mation (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for 
radio frequency (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 scientific 
and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and 
academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature 
related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones 
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific 
Absorption Rate (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. 
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions 
accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest 
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 
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. This is because the phone is designed to 
operate at multiple power levels so as 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 new model phone is available for sale to the public, it 
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed 
the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model 
phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear 
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets 
FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that 
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 
1.5 cm from the body. 
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF 
exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile 
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance 
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values 
for this model phone as reported to the FCC are:
GSM 850:
Head: 0.33 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 1.38 W/Kg.
GSM 1900:
Head: 0.52 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.48 W/Kg.
WCDMA 850:
Head: 0.61 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.66 W/Kg.
WCDMA 1900:
Head: 1.1 W/Kg.
Body-worn: 0.63 W/Kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed 
online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea. To find information that 
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone 
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case 
of the phone. 
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to 
find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a 
particular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it 
should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular 
phone. Additional product specific SAR information can also be 
obtained at 
www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar. 
Please Note the Following Information When

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a 
series of Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio 
frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA 
publication includes the following information:
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held 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 energy (RF) because of the 
short distance between the phone and the users head. These RF 
A847.book  Page 150  Thursday, April 29, 2010  5:26 PM 
						

							151
exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission 
safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of 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 persons 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 well 
within the FCCs compliance limits.
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 stand-by 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.
What is FDAs role concerning the safety of wireless 
phones?
Under the law, 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 energy (RF) at a level 
that is hazardous to the user. 
In such a case, 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, 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.
A847.book  Page 151  Thursday, April 29, 2010  5:26 PM 
						

							Health and Safety Information       152
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
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency 
working group activities, as well.
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. FCC relies on FDA and other 
health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
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 primary subject of the safety 
questions discussed in this document.
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 radio 
frequency 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 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 dont 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 phones RF exposures. 
A847.book  Page 152  Thursday, April 29, 2010  5:26 PM 
						

							153
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.
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 
ten or more years follow-up 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 
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.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible 
health effects of wireless phone RF?
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).
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.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association 
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development 
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. 
FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from 
experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. 
CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to 
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 
A847.book  Page 153  Thursday, April 29, 2010  5:26 PM 
						

							Health and Safety Information       154
research needs in the context of the latest research 
developments around the world.
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.
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 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.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce 
risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-
free kits reduce risks. 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 
A847.book  Page 154  Thursday, April 29, 2010  5:26 PM 
						

							155
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 configuration should result in compliance with the safety 
limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield 
the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions 
from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that 
accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions 
reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF 
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing 
more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies 
have shown that these products generally do not work as 
advertised. Unlike hand-free kits, these so-called shields 
may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may 
be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an 
increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade 
Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that 
claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with 
making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to 
substantiate their claim.
What about wireless phone interference with 
medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact 
with some electronic devices. For this reason, 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 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. FDA has tested 
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.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible 
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful
