UsingYour Phone’s Battery and Charger

BatteryCapacity

Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)

battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully

drained. The battery provides approximately 2.5 hours of

continuous digital talk time or approximately 8 days of continuous

digital standby time.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.

When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the

phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and

browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Note:

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Tip:

InstallingtheBattery

ToinstalltheLiIonbattery:

ChargingtheBattery

Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and

should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your

phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery

level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you

will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick

check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge

indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display

screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon

blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint-approved travel charger or vehicle power

adapter to charge your battery.

Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your

phone and void the warranty.

Warning!

SprintNationwidePCSNetwork. Your new digital dual band VI-5225

by LG works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and

allows you to roamon other 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks

where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other

carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special

features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming

RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplayScreen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off

the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the

phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS

Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Tip:

Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a

higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Note:

RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and

security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls

on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may not be

able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network

and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If

your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service is

available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network.

the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and

Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges

SprintPCS Vision bringsyouclarityyoucanseeandhearwithadvanced

multimediaservices. These features, including Sprint PCS

Messaging, games, downloadable ringers and screen savers, Web

access, and Sprint PCS Business Connection , are easy to learn and

use. The rich, colorful graphic experience is visually comparable

Getting StartedWith Sprint PCSVision

With your Sprint PCS Vision Phone and Sprint PCS Service, you are

ready to start enjoying the advantages of Sprint PCS Vision. This

section will help you learn the basics of using your Sprint PCS

Vision services, including managing your User name, launching a

Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your Sprint PCS

Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service,

you're automatically assigned a User name. A User name is typically

based on your name and a number, followed by "@sprintpcs.com."

For example, the third John Smith to sign up for Sprint PCS Vision

services might have [email protected] as his User name. If you

want a particular User name, you can visit www.sprintpcs.com and get

the name you want – as long as nobody else has it.

When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your User name is

submitted to identify you to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

The User name is also useful as an address for Sprint PCS Mail, as a

way to personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.

Your User name will be automatically programmed into your

Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don't have to enter it.

FindingYourUserName

If you aren't sure what your Sprint PCS Vision User name is, you can

easily find it online or on your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.

TofindyourUserName:

A t w ww.sprintpcs.com. Sign on to your account using your

Sprint PCS Phone number and Password. To display your User

Note:

Sprint PCSVision Connection Status and Indicators

Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your

Sprint PCS Vision connection through indicators which appear at

the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:

Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is active (data is being

transferred); the transmit/receive symbol will blink to indicate

data transmission. Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail;

outgoing voice calls can be made, but the Sprint PCS Vision

connection will terminate.

Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is dormant (no data is being

sent or received). Though not currently active, when dormant

the phone can restart an active connection quickly; voice calls

can be made and received.

Your phone is not currently able to access Sprint PCS Vision

service features.

If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current

Sprint PCS Vision connection. To launch a connection, see

“Launching a Sprint PCS Vision Connection” on page 97.

Getting the Most Out ofYour Reception

KeepingTabsonSignalStrength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your

area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of

bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.

If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save

feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks

service availability; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the

Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signal

is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it

receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the

system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from

0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.

KnowingRadioFrequencySafety

The design of your Sprint PCS Vision Phone complies with updated NCRP

standards described below.

In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982

standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than

120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health

agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the

available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC

adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the

guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and

Measurements (NCRP).

MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and

maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

ⅷ

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

ⅷ

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your

phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should service

your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

FollowingSafetyGuidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations

in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may

cause interference or danger.

UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals.

However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded

electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic

operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the

manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately

shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and

hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before

using the phone near medical equipment.

Note:

TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference

with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations

require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the

plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations

prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a

blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be

turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off

explosives.

Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks.

Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death.

These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

ⅷ

Fueling areas such as gas stations.

ⅷ

Below deck on boats.

ⅷ

Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

ⅷ

Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal

powders.

ⅷ

Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s

engine.

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of

your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Cautions

Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this

document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to

operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The

use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the phone

warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be

broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Body-WornOperation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on

your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other

body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna

is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of

non-Sprint approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in

the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and

calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All

phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But

when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level

reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to

a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to

remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do

not represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial

margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model

phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard

of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the VI-5225 are:

PCSmode(Part24):

Head: 0.234 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.302 W/kg

FCCRadiofrequencyEmission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.

FCC ID number: BEJLX5400. More information on the phone's SAR can

Consumer Information onWireless Phones

(The following information comes from a consumer information Website jointly

sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer

Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced herein is dated

July 29, 2003. For further updates, please visit the Website:

http://www.fda.gov/cellphones/qa.html .)

Whatisradiofrequencyenergy(RF)?

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of

electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of

the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-

rays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists of

waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through

space. The area where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.

Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas.

As they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All

electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The major differences

between the different types of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of

the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain point during a set time

period. The wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle of a wave. The

frequency is the number of waves passing a given point in one second. For any

electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by the frequency equals the

speed of light. The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in units called

hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One kilohertz (kHz) equals one

thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals one million waves per

second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves per second.

RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per

second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a

subset of radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million

waves per second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).

Howisradiofrequencyenergyused?

Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio

and TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire

department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on

RF energy.

Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and

sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave

frequencies, can heat water. Since most food has a high water content,

microwaves can cook food quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and

airplanes as well as for military applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use

RF energy to mold plastic materials, glue wood products, seal leather items such

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

as shoes and pocketbooks, and process food. Medical uses of RF energy include

pacemaker monitoring and programming.

Howisradiofrequencyradiationmeasured?

RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is

often convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each

component. For example, the unit "volts per meter" (V/m) is used to measure

the electric field strength, and the unit "amperes per meter" (A/m) is used to

express the magnetic field strength. Another common way to characterize an RF

field is by means of the power density. Power density is defined as power per

unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts

(one thousandth of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one

millionth of a watt) per square centimeter (µW/cm2).

The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the

body is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the

rate of absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per

kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).

WhatbiologicaleffectscanbecausedbyRFenergy?

The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the

effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.

Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma

rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are

stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can

permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.

Ionization only occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as

X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing

ionizing radiation (such as that associated with nuclear power plants).

The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio

waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms

and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other

types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat) and

other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.

Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue. This can damage tissues and

increase body temperatures. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are

particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow

in them to carry away excess heat.

The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too

low to produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some

people have questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF

energy. It is generally agreed that further research is needed to determine what

effects actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the

meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies are

continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine whether

changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and

safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor

developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.

WhatlevelsofRFenergyareconsideredsafe?

Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to

radiofrequency energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for

both the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used

safety guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.

The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are

derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National

Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations

were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry,

government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature

related to the biological effects of RF energy.

Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by

the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE,

with a few exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure

levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from

certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, the World

Health Organization is working to provide a framework for international

harmonization of RF safety standards.

The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR) value of 4 watts per kilogram (4 W/kg) as a threshold

level of exposure at which harmful biological effects may occur. Exposure

guidelines in terms of field strength, power density and localized SAR were then

derived from this threshold value. In addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP

guidelines vary depending on the frequency of the RF exposure. This is due to

the finding that whole-body human absorption of RF energy varies with the

frequency of the RF signal. The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure

are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF

energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the body, such as

wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.

The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and

magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at

frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. The specific values can be found in two

FCC bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65:

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#56 ;

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65 .

WhyhastheFCCadoptedguidelinesforRFexposure?

The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that

generate RF and microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting

services in the U.S. except those specifically operated by the Federal

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

Government. While the FCC does not have the expertise to determine radiation

exposure guidelines on its own, it does have the expertise and authority to

recognize and adopt technically sound standards promulgated by other expert

agencies and organizations, and has done so . (Our joint efforts with the FDA in

developing this website is illustrative of the kind of inter-agency efforts and

consultation we engage in regarding this health and safety issue.)

Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has

certain responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect

the quality of the human environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of

transmitters and facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the

environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated

transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such

environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC revised its guidelines for RF

exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as required by the

Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental

radio stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to

undergo routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an application

to the FCC for construction or modification of a transmitting facility or renewal

of a license. Failure to comply with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines could lead

to the preparation of a formal Environmental Assessment, possible

Environmental Impact Statement and eventual rejection of an application.

Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance with the FCC RF safety

requirements can be found in the FCC's OET Bulletin 65.

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65

Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are

normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure.

These exclusions are based on standard calculations and measurement data

indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating under the

conditions prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the guidelines

under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from

compliance, but, rather, exclusions from routine evaluation. The FCC's policies

on RF exposure and categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of

the FCC's Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].

HowcanIobtaintheSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)valueformy

wirelessphone?

The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate

compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996. The

relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user

is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above. The FCC

requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram

(1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.

Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many

recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that

model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the

phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the

number. Once you have the ID number, go to the following Web address:

www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid . On this page, you will see instructions for entering the

FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number exactly as requested (the Grantee

Code is the first three characters, the Equipment Product Code is the rest of the

FCC ID number). Then click on "Start Search." The "Grant of Equipment

Authorization" for your telephone should appear. Read through the grant for the

section on "SAR Compliance," "Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules for

RF Exposure" or similar language. This section should contain the value(s) for

typical or maximum SAR for your phone.

Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the

maximum SAR levels noted directly on the "Grant of Equipment Authorization."

For phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000,

detailed information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated

with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking

on "View Exhibit." Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic

database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper records.

The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers

may find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone

manufacturers make SAR information available on their own Web sites. In

addition, some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of

wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no

guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the Cellular

Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide

SAR information to consumers in the instructional materials that come with

the phones.

Dohands-freekitsforwirelessphonesreducerisksfromexposuretoRF

emissions?

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless

phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-

free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These

systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the 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.

DowirelessphoneaccessoriesthatclaimtoshieldtheheadfromRF

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless

phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the

head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the

user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing

more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that

these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike "hand-free" kits,

these so-called "shields" may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The

phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in

RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged

two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users

from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC,

these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.

Whatarewirelesstelephonebasestations?

Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular

base stations, cell stations, Sprint PCS ("Personal Communications Service")

stations or telephone transmission towers. These base stations consist of

antennas and electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in

the air, they are often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops. Typical

heights for freestanding base station towers are 50-200 feet.

Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that

are referred to as "omni-directional" antennas. These types of antennas are

usually found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers

now more commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations. These

antennas consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension. The

antennas are usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One

antenna in each group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the

other two antennas in each group are used to receive signals from wireless

phones.

At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the

number of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each

transmitter. Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical

cell site using sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be

connected to up to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is

unlikely that all of the transmitters would be transmitting at the same time.

When omni-directional antennas are used, a cellular base station could

theoretically use up to 96 transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and,

once again, it is unlikely that all transmitters would be in operation

simultaneously. Base stations used for Sprint PCS communications generally

require fewer transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since

Sprint PCS carriers usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.

Arewirelesstelephonebasestationssafe?

The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations

travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation

pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin

pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single

array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of

electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from

the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure

very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact,

ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less

than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So

exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins.

Cellular and Sprint PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply

with limits for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed

by government agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made

near cellular and Sprint PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have

confirmed that ground-level exposures are typically thousands of times less than

the exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels

at or near the FCC limits for cellular or Sprint PCS frequencies an individual

would essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the

height of the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course,

very unlikely to occur.

When cellular and Sprint PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on

that roof or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically

encountered on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or

exceeding safety guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly

in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for

such rooftop base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are

insignificant. General guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances

that might give rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC

regulations can be found in A Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna

RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance. This Guide can be

accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.

Whoregulatesexposuretoradiationfrommicrowaveovens, televisionsets

The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public from

harmful radiation emissions from these consumer products.

DoestheFCCroutinelymonitorradiofrequencyradiationfromantennas?

The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the

emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC

jurisdiction. However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for

evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers. If

there is evidence for potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines

for a FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC's Office of Engineering and

Technology or the FCC Enforcement Bureau can conduct and investigation, and,

if appropriate, perform actual measurements. Circumstances that could give

rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC regulations can be

Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the

service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.)

The FCC issues two types of licenses: site specific and market based. In the case

of site specific licensed facilities, technical operating information is collected

from the licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in the case of

market based licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the authority

to operate a radio communications system in a geographic area using as many

facilities as are required, and the licensee is not required to provide the FCC with

specific location and operating parameters of these facilities.

Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the "General Menu

Reports" (GenMen) at http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/genmen/index.hts.

The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts of

their licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file

structure. These extracts consist of multiple, very large files. The FCC's Office of

Engineering and Technology (OET) maintains an index to these databases at

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html . Entry points into the various

databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and

licensee name. For further information on the Commission's existing databases,

you can contact Donald Campbell at [email protected] or 202-418-2405.

Canlocalandstategovernmentalbodiesestablishlimitsfor

RFexposure?

Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations

about human exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act of

1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF

emissions. In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, "No State or local

government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,

construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the

basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent

that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such

emissions." Further information on federal authority and FCC policy is available

in a fact sheet from the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at

www.fcc.gov/wtb .

Dowirelessphonesposeahealthhazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are

associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless

phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency

energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low

levels of RF when in the stand-by 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 any 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 inconsistent results.

WhatisFDA'sroleconcerningthesafetyofwirelessphones?

Under the law, 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 radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is

hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of

wireless phones to notify 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 actions, FDA

has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the

following:

Ⅲ

Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the

type emitted by wireless phones;

Ⅲ

Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the

user that is not necessary for device function; and

Ⅲ

Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible

information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have

responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at

the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:

Ⅲ

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Ⅲ

Environmental Protection Agency

Ⅲ

Federal Communications Commission

Ⅲ

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Ⅲ

National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working

group activities, as well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United

States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies

on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon.

While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones

themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are

typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

147

phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions

discussed in this document.

Whatkindsofphonesarethesubjectofthisupdate?

The term "wireless phone" refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-

in antennas, often called "cell," "mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of

wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)

because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF

exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety

guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health

and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the

user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure

decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called

"cordless phones," which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in

a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF

exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.

Whataretheresultsoftheresearchdonealready?

The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies

have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments

investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic

of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be

repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested

that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory

animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor

development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with

cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the

absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22

hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which

people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results of

such studies mean for human health.

Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.

Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the

use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or

acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other

cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health

effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can

answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone

use in these studies was around three years.

WhatresearchisneededtodecidewhetherRFexposurefromwireless

phonesposesahealthrisk?

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people

actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.

Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,

very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a

cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

148

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years' follow-up

may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.

This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing

agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The

interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in

measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many

factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or

which model of phone is used.

WhatisFDAdoingtofindoutmoreaboutthepossiblehealtheffectsof

wirelessphoneRF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of

investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are

conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to

radiofrequency energy (RF).

FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization

International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.

An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda

of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs

around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public

information documents on EMF issues.

FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a

formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do

research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,

obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic

organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to

independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory

studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a

broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest

research developments around the world.

WhatstepscanItaketoreducemyexposuretoradiofrequencyenergyfrom

mywirelessphone?

If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there

is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even

potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to

radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a

person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will

reduce RF exposure.

Ⅲ

If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day,

you could place more distance between your body and the source of the

RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For

example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from

your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.

But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can

use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from

wireless phone use.

Whataboutchildrenusingwirelessphones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,

including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to

radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to

children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless

phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will

reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that

children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the

government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that

using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly

precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard

exists.

Whataboutwirelessphoneinterferencewithmedicalequipment?

Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some

electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method

to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac

pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is

now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of

Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical

device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This

standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and

defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.

FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and

helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and

Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and

performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no

interference occurs when a person uses a "compatible" phone and a

"compatible" hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the

IEEE in 2000.

FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions

with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA

will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

WhichotherfederalagencieshaveresponsibilitiesrelatedtopotentialRF

healtheffects?

Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring,

researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

150

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

These agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications and Information

Administration (NTIA) and the Department of Defense (DOD).

By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the

Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops

performance standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products

including X-ray equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave

ovens, laser products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product

performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF

leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not adopted performance

standards for other RF-emitting products. The FDA is, however, the lead federal

health agency in monitoring the latest research developments and advising

other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products used by the

public, such as cellular and Sprint PCS phones.

The FDA's microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an

exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured

at five centimeters from the oven surface). The standard also requires ovens to

have two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating

microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is

opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used

according to the manufacturer's recommendations are safe for consumer and

industrial use. More information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh .

The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public

exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health

are presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an

Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working Group, which coordinates RF health-

related activities among the various federal agencies with health or regulatory

responsibilities in this area.

OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous

chemical and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for

exposure of workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was

later ruled to be only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based on an

earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the present time,

OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes

under OSHA's "general duty clause" (for more information see:http://www.osha-

slc.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html .

NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It conducts

research and investigations into issues related to occupational exposure to

chemical and physical agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF

exposure guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were never adopted by the

agency. NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through its Physical Agents

Effects Branch in Cincinnati,Ohio.

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible

for authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum.

Like the FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered

adopting guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government

transmitters such as radar and military facilities.

The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological

effects of RF energy for a number of years. This research is now conducted

primarily at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force

Base, Texas. The DOD Web site for RF biological effects information is listed

with other sites in conjunction with a question on other sources of information,

below.

Whofundsandcarriesoutresearchonthebiologicaleffectsof

RFenergy?

Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in

laboratories in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most

research has been funded by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive

military use of RF equipment such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters.

In addition, some federal agencies responsible for health and safety, such as the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA), have sponsored and conducted research in this area. At

the present time, most of the non-military research on biological effects of RF

energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry organizations. More research is

being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.

In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International

EMF Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of

health concerns over the use of RF technology. WHO maintains a Web site that

provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological effects

and research (www.who.ch/peh-emf ).

FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and

safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor

developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.

HowdoesFCCAuditCellPhoneRF?

After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed,

FCC will occasionally conduct "post-grant" testing to determine whether

production versions of the phone are being produced to conform with FCC

regulatory requirements. The manufacturer of a cell phone that does not meet

FCC's regulatory requirements may be required to remove the cell phone from

use and to refund the purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may

be subject to civil or criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a

risk of injury to the user, FDA may also take regulatory action. The most

important post-grant test, from a consumer's perspective, is testing of the RF

emissions of the phone. FCC measures the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the

phone, following a very rigorous testing protocol. As is true for nearly any

scientific measurement, there is a possibility that the test measurement may be

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

152

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the phone. This difference

between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is because test

measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test measurement

and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors. This

inherent variability is known as "measurement uncertainty." When FCC

conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any

measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is

appropriate. This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it

will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.

FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell

phone RF, and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current

understanding of the risks presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF

emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present a risk of injury

to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (an

SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maximum measurement uncertainty

permitted by current measurement standards was added to the maximum

permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well below any level known

to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC's approach with measurement

uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any known risk from

the RF emitted by cellular telephones.

FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute

effects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure

to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many

years). If new information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC's

measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both

agencies will work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.
