Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.39 
inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, 
a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained 
between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic 
components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot 
maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance between the...

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...

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 that children 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.

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. 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...

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 hearingaids. The intent of the HAC Act 
is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons 
with hearing disabilities. While some...
