air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable
radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the
radio product may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.

5. Let the radio product, battery dry, and SIM card for 72 hours before
reconnecting the battery and/or powering on the radio product.
If the radio product does not work after following the steps listed above, contact
your dealer for servicing information.
Clean the external surfaces of the radio product with a damp cloth, using a mild

Before using any battery or battery charger, read all the instructions for and
cautionary markings on (1) the battery, (2) the battery charger, which may
include a separate wall-mounted power supply or transformer, and (3) the
radio product using the battery.
Do not expose any battery charger to water, rain, or snow as they are

Operational Cautions
Do not operate any battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, has been
dropped, or has been damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service
technician.
Do not disassemble a battery charger; take it to a qualified service
technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Maximum ambient temperature around the power supply or transformer of
any battery charger should not exceed 40°C (104°F).

Consumer Update on Mobile
Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including
cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known--
and what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to
health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information
may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?

US FDA Consumer Update
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones
might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however,
research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and
many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their
research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures
characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal
studies,...

repeatability of these results.(1)
2. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the
effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These
included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including mutations,
chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in
the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests
showed any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus assay, which
detects structural effects on the...

occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased likelihood was too
small to be statistically significant.(4)
In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the
public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated
with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including
other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to
provide the necessary answers to the outstanding...

support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by mobile phones;
design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function; and
cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible
information on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use
on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have responsibility for...
