• 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’re listening to. 
•  Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose\
 
to listen 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 
required before your hearing could be affected.

 
•  Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as 
concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. T

emporary hearing 
loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal. 
•  Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experienc\
e 
ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary

 
hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, disc\
ontinue 
use and consult your doctor.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handhe\
ld 
phones. 
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter an\
d 
receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted 
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. 
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set\
 by 
both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996) 
						

							200Safety
*  American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing 
Radiation Protection 
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of 
the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, 
engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,\
 
and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI\
 
Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those 
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized 
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may\
 
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone 
with the phone held upright.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact 
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate\
 at 
a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, 
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals 
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a 
minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld 
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
						

							201Safety
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent 
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. 
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their 
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
•  Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•  Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for 
interference;
•  Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect 
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In th\
e 
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provide\
r 
(or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives). 
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer o\
f 
your device to determine if it’s adequately shielded from external RF 
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this 
information. 
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted\
 in 
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities m\
ay use 
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded 
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its\
 
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the 
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. 
						

							202Safety
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your 
phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when i\
n 
a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all 
signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas cou\
ld 
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always 
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline 
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage 
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane o\
r 
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as \
grain, 
dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be\
 
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including \
either 
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag o\
r in 
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is imprope\
rly 
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health proble\
ms 
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 (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. 
They also emit very low levels of RF when in standby 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 an\
y 
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 inconsisten\
t 
results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the 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 (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a 
case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to noti\
fy 
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 ac\
tions, 
the 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 ty\
pe 
emitted by wireless phones;
