    Consumer Information
    About Radio Frequency
    Emissions
    Your wireless phone, which
    contains a radio transmitter and
    receiver, emits radio frequency
    energy during use. The following
    consumer information addresses
    commonly asked questions about
    the health effects of wireless
    phones.
    Are wireless phones safe?
    Scientific research on the subject of
    wireless phones and radio
    frequency (“RF”) energy has been
    conducted worldwide for many
    years, and continues. In the United
    States, the Food and Drug
    Administration (“FDA”) and the
    Federal Communications
    Commission (“FCC”) set policies
    and procedures for wireless phones.
    The FDA issued a website
    publication on health issues related
    to cell phone usage where it states,
    “The scientific community at large
    … believes that the weight of
    scientific evidence does not show
    an association between exposure to
    radiofrequency (RF) from cellphones and adverse health
    outcomes. Still the scientific
    community does recommend
    conducting additional research to
    address gaps in knowledge. That
    research is being conducted around
    the world and FDA continues to
    monitor developments in this field.
    You can access the joint FDA/FCC
    website at http://www.fda.gov
    (under “c”in the subject index,
    select Cell Phones > Research). You
    can also contact the FDA toll-free
    at (888) 463-6332 or (888)
    INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA
    entered into a cooperative research
    and development agreement
    through which additional scientific
    research is being conducted. The
    FCC issued its own website
    publication stating that “there is no
    scientific evidence that proves that
    wireless phone usage can lead to
    cancer or a variety of other
    problems, including headaches,
    dizziness or memory loss.” This
    publication is available at
    http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/
    cellular.html or through the FCC at
    (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-
    FCC.

    							103103
    What does “SAR” mean?
    In 1996, the FCC, working with the
    FDA, the U.S. Environmental
    Protection Agency, and other
    agencies, established RF exposure
    safety guidelines for wireless
    phones in the United States. Before
    a wireless phone model is available
    for sale to the public, it must be
    tested by the manufacturer and
    certified to the FCC that it does
    not exceed limits established by the
    FCC. One of these limits is
    expressed as a Specific Absorption
    Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of
    the rate of absorption of RF energy
    in the body. Tests for SAR are
    conducted with the phone
    transmitting at its highest power
    level in all tested frequency bands.
    Since 1996, the FCC has required
    that the SAR of handheld wireless
    phones not exceed 1.6 watts per
    kilogram, averaged over one gram of
    tissue. 
    Although the SAR is determined at
    the highest power level, the actual
    SAR value of a wireless phone while
    operating can be less than the
    reported SAR value. This is because
    the SAR value may vary from call tocall, depending on factors such as
    proximity to a cell site, the
    proximity of the phone to the body
    while in use, and the use of hands-
    free devices. For more information
    about SARs, see the FCC’s OET
    Bulletins 56 and 65 at
    http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engine
    ering_Technology/Documents/bulle
    tins or visit the Cellular
    Telecommunications Industry
    Association website at
    http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info
    /index.cfm/AID/10371. You may
    also wish to contact the
    manufacturer of your phone. 
    Can I minimize my RF exposure? 
    If you are concerned about RF,
    there are several simple steps you
    can take to minimize your RF
    exposure. You can, of course,
    reduce your talk time. You can
    place more distance between your
    body and the source of the RF, as
    the exposure level drops off
    dramatically with distance. The
    FDA/FCC website states that
    “hands-free kits can be used with
    wireless phones for convenience
    and comfort. These systems reduce
    the absorption of RF energy in the
    VN251S_VZW_UG_EN_V1.3_150828.qxd  8/28/15  2:55 PM  Page 103     
    						
    							Safety
    104104
    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.”
    Also, if you use your wireless phone
    while in a car, you can use a phone
    with an antenna on the outside of
    the vehicle. You should also read
    and follow your wireless phone
    manufacturer’s instructions for the
    safe operation of your phone. 
    Do wireless phones pose any
    special risks to children?
    The FDA/FCC website states that
    “the scientific evidence does not
    show a danger to users of wireless
    communication devices, including
    children.” The FDA/FCC website
    further states that “some groups
    sponsored by other national
    governments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from using
    wireless phones at all”. For example,
    the Stewart Report from the United
    Kingdom [“UK”] made such a
    recommendation in December
    2000. In this report a group of
    independent experts noted that no
    evidence exists that using a cell
    phone causes brain tumors or other
    ill effects. [The UK’s]
    recommendation to limit cell phone
    use by children was strictly
    precautionary; it was not based on
    scientific evidence that any health
    hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s
    leaflet is available at
    http://www.dh.gov.uk (search
    “mobile”), or you can write to:
    NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11
    ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of
    the UK’s annual reports on mobile
    phones and RF are available online
    at www.iegmp.org.uk and
    http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/
    (search “mobile”). Parents who wish
    to reduce their children’s RF
    exposure may choose to restrict
    their children’s wireless phone use.

    information about RF emissions?

    Consumer Information on
    SAR
    (Specific Absorption Rate)
    This model phone meets the
    government's requirements for
    exposure to radio waves. Your
    wireless phone is a radio transmitter
    and receiver. It is designed and
    manufactured not to exceed the
    emission limits for exposure to
    Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by
    the Federal Communications
    Commission of the U.S.
    Government. These limits are part
    of comprehensive guidelines and
    establish permitted levels of RF
    energy for the general population.
    The guidelines are based on
    standards that were developed by
    independent scientific organizations
    through periodic and thorough
    evaluation of scientific studies. The
    standards include a substantial
    safety margin designed to assure
    the safety of all persons, regardless
    of age and 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.
    VN251S_VZW_UG_EN_V1.3_150828.qxd  8/28/15  2:55 PM  Page 106     
    						
    							107107
    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 government-
    adopted 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 1.25 W/kg and whenworn on the body, as described in
    this user guide, is 0.60 W/kg
    (body-worn measurements differ
    among phone 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/fccid after
    searching on FCC ID BEJVN251.
    Additional information on Specific
    Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
    found on the Cellular
    Telecommunications 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

    108108
    (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.
    FCC Hearing-Aid
    Compatibility (HAC)
    Regulations for Wireless
    Devices
    On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal
    Communications Commission
    (FCC) Report and Order in WT
    Docket 01-309 modified the
    exception of wireless phones under
    the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act
    of 1988 (HAC Act) to require
    digital wireless phones be
    compatible with hearing-aids. The
    intent of the HAC Act is to ensure
    reasonable access to
    telecommunications services for
    persons with hearing disabilities.
    While some wireless phones are
    used near some hearing devices
    (hearing aids and cochlear
    implants), users may detect a
    buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
    Some hearing devices are moreimmune than others to this
    interference noise, and phones also
    vary in the amount of interference
    they generate.
    The wireless telephone industry has
    developed a rating system for
    wireless phones, to assist hearing
    device users to find phones that
    may be compatible with their
    hearing devices. Not all phones
    have been rated. Phones that are
    rated have the rating on their box
    or a label located on the box.
    The ratings are not guarantees.
    Results will vary depending on the
    user's hearing device and hearing
    loss. If your hearing device happens
    to be vulnerable to interference,
    you may not be able to use a rated
    phone successfully. Trying out the
    phone with your hearing device is
    the best way to evaluate it for your
    personal needs.
    M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4
    meet FCC requirements and are
    likely to generate less interference
    to hearing devices than phones
    that are not labeled. M4 is the
    better/higher of the two ratings.
    T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4
    meet FCC requirements and are
