Troubleshooting 
When sending 
data with the 
data cable, why 
does the 
computer show a 
connection rate 
of 19200 Kbps? 19200 Kbps is the data transfer rate of 
the connection between your computer 
and the phone in a standard CSD 
(Circuit Switch Data) connection. The 
rate of the connection between your 
phone and the network is displayed on 
your phone, and will be either 14400 or 
9600 Kbps.
Note: A GPRS connection may have a 
higher data transfer rate.

SpeciÞc Absorption  Rate 
Data
This model phone meets the governmentÕs 
requirements for exposure to radio waves. 
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to 
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the U.S. Federal 
Communications Commission for the United States and by 
Health Canada for Canada. These limits are part of 
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF 
energy for the general population. The...

171 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 in the 
U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certiÞed to the FCC and 
Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by 
each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in 
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) 
reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. 
The highest SAR...

1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by 
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The 
standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional 
protection for...

Update on Mobile PhonesAdditional Health and Safety Information
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile 
phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following 
summarizes what is knownÑand what remains unknownÑ
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.

What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the 
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the 
users head during normal telephone conversation. These types 
of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance 
between the phones antennaÑthe primary source of the RFÑ
and the persons head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones 
in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the 
user (on the outside of a car,...

175 First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and 
mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed 
increased tumor development used animals that had already 
been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies 
exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuouslyÑup to 22 
hours per day.
For the past Þve years in the United States, the mobile phone 
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile 
phones. This research has resulted in two Þndings in...

accuracy and repeatability of these results.

2Researchers 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...

177 performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes 
in the subjects ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, 
or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make 
choices more quickly in one visual test when they were 
exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the 
only change noted among more than 20 variables 
compared.

178each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile 
phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per 
month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected 
each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they 
used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any 
individuals cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it 
would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the 
risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among 
people who...
