HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESS 
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
PCD’S COMMITMENTPCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of 
digital wireless technologies. 
We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices for our 
customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T4.
WhAT IS hEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating 
system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively 
use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility 
of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in American National 
Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards 
with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for 
reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when 
using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be 
used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted 
background noise.
hOW WILL I kNOW WhICh WIRELESS  PhONES  ARE hEARING  AID 
COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless 
phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic 
coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating.
A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive 
coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the 
wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless 
technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with 
hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly 
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to 
determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider about its 
return and exchange policies and for information on hearing aid compatibility.
hOW WILL I kNO W IF MY hEARING  AID WILL WORk WITh A  PARTICULAR 
DIGITAL WIRELESS PhONE ?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which 
works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your 
hearing aid professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune 
to interference, if they have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing 
aid has a HAC rating.

TELETYPEWRITER (TTY) DEVICESYou can use an optional teletypewriter (TTY) device with your phone to send and 
receive calls. You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s headset connector 
and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY modes.
A TTY is a communication device used by people who are hard of hearing or have 
a speech impairment. TTY does not work from mobile phone to mobile phone. 
Use a TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) to connect 
the TTY device to your phone. Your phone has a 2.5mm jack. Set the phone to 
Medium volume level for proper operation. If you experience a high number of 
incorrect characters, adjust the volume as needed to minimize the error rate.
For optimal performance, your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 
centimeters) from the TTY device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device 
may cause high error rates.
FDA CONSUMER UPDATEU.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION -  CENTER FOR DE
VICES AND RADIOL OGICAL HEAL TH 
CONSUMER UPD

ATE
 ON WIRELESS 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 radiofrequency 
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very 
low levels of RF when in the 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 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 FDA’s 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 radiofrequency 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 
e mitted by wireless phones;
•  Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that 
i s not necessary for device function;
•  Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible 
i nformation on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
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 inter-agency 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 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 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 radiofrequency energy (RF) because of 
the short distance between the phone and the user’s head. 
These RF 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 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 predisposed 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 
neu-roma, 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 
p
hones 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 health effects, such as cancer. 
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing

05
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 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 
radiofrequency 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 CTIA - The Wireless Association 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 research needs in the 
context of the latest research developments around the world.
7.  How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can get 
b y using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures.  FCC established these guidelines in consultation with 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.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research)) 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.
8.  What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from 
w ireless phones ?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical 
standard for measuring the radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency 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 
radiofrequency 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 
c ould 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 radiofrequency 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.
11. 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 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.
12. 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 “hands-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        
						

							168 169 
02
01
02
03

05
radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these 
defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
13. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency 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 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. FDA continues to 
monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical 
devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing 
to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

EMERGENCY CALLSNever rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential communications (e.g., 
medical emergencies), if it can be avoided, since a wireless phone requires a 
complex combination of radio signals, relay stations and landline networks for 
its operation.  
Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under all conditions 
on all wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone, however, may sometimes be 
the only available means of communication at the scene of an accident. When 
making an emergency call, always give the recipient all necessary information as 
accurately as possible. Never terminate an emergency call until you have received 
clearance to do so.
FCC ENhANCED 911 (E911) RULES BACkGROUNDThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless carriers 
to transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic Location 
Identification = ALI) information as well as “911” calls to Public Safety Answering 
Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of the caller in case of emergency. 
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s location within 50 
meters of the actual location for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters of the 
actual location for 95 percent of calls.

CASIO G’ZONE RAVINE®2 — ALI CAPABILITYThe Ravine®2 is an ALI-capable phone equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning 
System) receiver supporting a satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply 
with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent on: 
(a) the use of digital technology by the wireless network; (b) GPS satellite 
signals being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not always work 
indoors, for example); and (c) handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” 
(atmospheric and environmental conditions may cause variations in handset 
receiving signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system 
constraints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal is transmitted 
and over which PCD has no control. Finally, customers are advised that the 
Ravine®2’s ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.

COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER FCC REGULATIONS
OPERATING PROCEDURESNever violate any of the following Rules and Regulations of the FCC when using 
your Cellular Phone. Such violations are punishable by fine, imprisonment or 
both.
•  Never use obscene, indecent, or profane language.•  Never use your Cellular Phone to send false distress calls.•  Never wiretap or otherwise intercept a phone call, unless you have first obtained 
t he consent of the parties participating in the call.
•  Never make any anonymous calls to annoy, harass, or molest other people.•  Never charge another account without authorization, to avoid payment for 
s ervice.
•  Never willfully or maliciously interfere with any other radio communications.•  Never refuse to yield the line when informed that it is needed for an Emergency 
C all. Also, never take over a line by stating falsely that it is needed for an 
emergency.
AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSSProlonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause 
of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable 
audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high 
volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing 
loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and 
Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been 
associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to 
sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing 
loss and other potential hearing problems varies.

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on 
the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You 
should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable 
audio device:
•  Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which 
y ou can hear adequately.
•  When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people 
speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are 
listening to.
•  Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to 
l isten to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling 
headphones to block out background environmental noise.
•  Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is 
r equired before your hearing could be affected.
•  Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as 
c oncerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss 
might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
•  Excessive sound pressure from earphones can cause hearing loss.•  Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing 
i n your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty 
after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your 
doctor.
