Warning: To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not

contacts, heat above 60℃ (140℉), or dispose of
in fire or water. Replace only with manufacturer
specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used
batteries according to the local regulations.
Your PPC6600 contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery.Battery
life depends on whether you are talking on the phone,using the PDA
functions,or if the device is on standby.
Battery life estimates (when fully charged):
Talk-time up to 3 ~ 4 hours,
PDA up to 15 hours,
Data retention time up to 72 hours.
The above times are based on using one function at a time.
Switching between functions will affect the battery life.For
example,battery life will also depend upon whether you’re using
Bluetooth technology on your device.
Section 1: Getting Started 9
Data Retention
It is vital to keep your battery charged. Because your PPC6600 does
not have a hard drive,all data and any new programs you install are
stored in RAM. If the battery completely drains, any data or new
programs you installed will be erased. Only the default programs
on the device when you bought it will remain.
To prevent this kind of data loss, a portion of the main battery has
been set aside to keep your data safe for up to 72 hours if your
device runs out of power. An additional battery,the backup battery,
is designed to keep your data safe when you remove the main
battery.It will keep this data safe for up to 20 minutes.
Verify that the backup battery power remains at least 50% OR ABOVE before
you remove the main battery. This can be checked by tapping
Note:
> Settings > System tab > Power.
Recharging Your Device
To recharge your PPC6600:
Place your PPC6600 in the cradle and connect the cradle
to an external power source with the AC Adapter.Before
using your PPC6600,charge the battery for at least 8
hours for the first time. Then,place it in the cradle for a short
time each day to recharge it to its full capacity.

Converting Writing to Text
1. On the note,tap Tools and Recognize from the menu bar.
2. If you want to convert only certain words,select them
before tapping Recognize on theTools menu (or tap and
hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop
up menu).
If a word is not recognized,it will be left as writing. And if the
conversion is incorrect,you can select different words from a list of
alternates or return to the original writing.
Tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time),
then tap Alternates from the pop up menu. A menu with a list
of alternate words appears.Tap the word you want to use,or
tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the
original writing.
The writing is
turned into text.
Tips to Ensure Successful Recognition
Write neatly.
Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line.Write
the cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that
they are not confused with the word above.Write periods and
commas above the bottom line.
For better recognition, use a zoom level of 150% or higher by
tapping Tools > Zoom to change the zoom level.Write the letters
of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the
device can easily tell where words begin and end.
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters
such as accents,and some punctuation cannot be converted.
29
Section 2: Getting to know Your PPC6600
If you edit or add to a word after attempting to recognize it,
the new writing will not be included if you attempt to
recognize it again.
2.4 Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write
on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing
on the screen is how you select items and how they can be
edited. For example, selected drawings can be re-sized, while
writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing
box appears.Subsequent strokes in or touching the
drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that
do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.
The drawing box indicates
the boundaries of the drawing.
Pen button
To select a drawing:
If you want to edit or format a drawing,you must select it first.
1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection
handle appears.To select multiple drawings,deselect the
pen button and then drag to select the drawings you
want.
2. You can cut,copy,and paste selected drawings by
tapping and holding the selected drawing and then
tapping an editing command on the pop up menu,or by
tapping the command on the Edit menu. To re-size a
drawing,make sure the Pen button is not selected,and
drag a selection handle.
30
Section 2: Getting to know Your PPC6600
To change the zoom level so it is easier to work or view your drawing,
tap Tools and then select a zoom level.
Tip:

5.2 Synchronizing Information
This section provides an overview of the types of Outlook
information you can synchronize.By default, ActiveSync does
not automatically synchronize all types of Outlook information.
Use ActiveSync® options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.
Synchronizing Inbox
When you select Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync®,
e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general
synchronization process.During synchronization,the
following events occur:
Messages are copied from the Outlook® Inbox folder
on your computer, or from a Microsoft® Exchange
Server,to the Inbox folder on your PPC6600.
By default, when synchronizing Inbox information with
your computer, you will receive only messages from
the last three days and the first 500 bytes of each new
message.You can also choose to download file
attachments.
The messages on your phone and on your desktop
computer are linked.When you delete a message on
your phone,it is deleted from your computer the next
time you synchronize,and vice versa.
Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook®
are synchronized only if the folders have been selected
for synchronization in the Inbox on your PPC6600.
Text (SMS) messages are not received in your Inbox through
synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your phone via the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network. For more details, please see Managing
Messages and Folders in Section 9.

switching between multiple devices since there are no
cables or adapters to change. When creating a partnership,
you must connect using infrared, a cable, or a cradle
connection. For more information about synchronizing
using an infrared connection or other connection types,see
ActiveSync® Help on your computer.
Transferring Items Using Infrared
Using infrared (IR), you can also send and receive information,
such as contacts and appointments,between two devices.

want to send and locate the item in the list.
2. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and
within close range.
3. Tap and hold the item,then tap Beam [Item] on the pop
up menu.( [Item] can be a Contact, Appointment, Task,
etc.)

9.5 Managing Messages and Folders
By default,messages are displayed in one of five folders for
each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts,
Outbox,and Sent Items.The Deleted Items folder contains
messages that have been deleted on the device.The behavior
of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options
you have chosen.In the message list,tap Tools and then
Options.On the Message tab,select your options.
To organize messages into additional folders, create new
folders by tapping Tools,then Manage Folders.To move a
message to another folder,in the message list,tap and hold
the message and then tap Move to on the pop up menu.
Folder Behavior With a Direct
Connection to an E-mail Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether
you are using ActiveSync®,Text Messages,POP3,or IMAP4.
If you use ActiveSync®, e-mail messages in the Inbox
folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized
with your device.You can select to synchronize
additional folders by designating them for
ActiveSync®. The folders you created and the
messages you moved will then be mirrored on the
server.For example,if you move two messages from
the Inbox folder to a folder named Family and you
have designated Family for synchronization,the server
creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the
messages into that folder. You can then read the
messages while away from your PC.
If you use Messaging, messages are stored in the Inbox
folder of theText Messages category.
Section 9: Exploring Messaging
118
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder
you created,the link is broken between the messages on
the device and their copies on the mail server. The next
time you connect,the mail server will see that the
messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete
them from the server. This prevents you from having
duplicate copies of a message,but it also means that you
will no longer have access to messages that you move to
folders created from anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4,the folders you created and the e-mail
messages you moved are mirrored on the server.
Therefore,messages are available to you anytime you
connect to your mail server,whether it is from your
device or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs
whenever you connect to your mail server;create new
folders,or rename/delete folders when connected.

12.4 Resetting the PPC6600 and
Clearing Memory
You can perform a soft reset or a full reset. During a soft
reset,the device is restarted and only some data in open
programs may be lost. However,a full reset turns the
battery off and returns the device to its original factory
settings and deletes all programs,files,contacts,and other
information you have saved to the device. Therefore, it is
extremely important to back up data to a storage card or your
computer on a regular basis in the event that a full reset has to be
performed.
Performing a Soft Reset
If your PPC6600 responds slowly,stops responding,or freezes,
try a soft reset. A soft reset causes the PPC6600 to restart and
readjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows
may be lost.
Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for
more than 2 seconds.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and

Performing a Full Reset
A full device reset clears memory,deletes all data and restores
the PPC6600 to its default settings. Programs installed at the
factory remain,while data you have created and programs you
have installed are all erased.
Press and hold the power button, and then use the
stylus to press and hold the Reset button at the same
time.
Be sure you have backed up all your data in a SD card or in
your PC before performing a full reset.

c) SAR Information
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURETO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on the
safety standards previously set by both U.S.and international standards
bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE.C95.11992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP).Report 86.1986
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
Ministry of Health (Canada),Safety Code 6.The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons,regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile CDMA phone employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*.For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal
and that position the antenna of the CDMA phone a minimum of
1.5cm from the body.The SAR values of this CDMA phone are 1.3
W/g (body) and 0.122 W/g (head).Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this model
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
NM8 HARRIER.Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the CellularTelecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site as http://www.devicefacts.net.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
169
* In the U.S.and Canada,the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone
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 the public and to account for any
variations in usage.Normal condition only to ensure the radiative
performance and safety of the interference.As with other mobile
radio transmitting equipment,users are advised that for satisfactory
operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel,it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come
too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
12.7 TIA Safety Information
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 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 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.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider [or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Optional for each phone manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy.Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
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 may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.

12.8 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate
by voice -- almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones,one that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car,driving is your first responsibility.When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of a car,practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed
dial and redial.If available,these features help you to place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available,use a hands free device.If possible,add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone
with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.Be able to access
your wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road.
If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time,if possible,let
your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving;if
necessary,suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.Rain,sleet,snow,ice,and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through your address book
takes attention away from your primary responsibility,driving
safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic;if possible,place calls when
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.Try to plan calls
when your car will be stationary.If you need to make a call while
moving,dial only a few numbers,check the road and your
mirrors,then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting.Make people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire,traffic accident or medical
emergencies.Remember,it is a free call on your wireless phone!
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
171
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.If
you see an auto accident,crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary.If you see a broken down
vehicle posing no serious hazard,a broken traffic signal,a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injured,or a
vehicle you know to be stolen,call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless number."The wireless industry
reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

12.9 Consumer Information on Wireless
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
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
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 radio frequency 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.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
172
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 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 does not justify FDA regulatory
actions,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 type
emitted by wireless phones;
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that is not necessary for device function;and
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
The 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:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
NationalTelecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institute of Health participates in some interagency
working group activities,as well.
The 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.The FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless phones.
The 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 phones.Base stations are thus not the
primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
173
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
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
radio frequency 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.
What are the results of the research done already?
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 radio frequency 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.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
174
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones
poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of
people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data
that is 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 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
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.
What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
The 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 radio frequency energy (RF).
The FDA has been a leading participant in theWorld 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.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and DevelopmentAgreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety.The 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.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
175
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from
my wireless phone?
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 radio frequency 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.
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.
Again, the scientific data does 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.
What about children using wireless phones?
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 radio frequency 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.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this reason, the 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 theAdvancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI).
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
176
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.
The 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 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.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices.Should harmful interference be
found to occur,the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference,
and work to resolve the problem.
Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to potential RF
health effects?
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved
in monitoring, researching, or regulating issues related to human
exposure to RF radiation.These agencies include the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA),the Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA),the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National
Telecommunications and InformationAdministration (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 PCS phones.
TheFDA'smicrowaveovenstandardisanemissionstandard(asopposed
to an exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave
leakage (measured at five centimeters from the oven surface). The
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
177
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
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 Radio frequency
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
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 PhysicalAgents Effects Branch in
Cincinnati,Ohio.
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.
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
178
Who funds and carries out research on the biological effects of RF energy?
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 aWeb site that provides extensive information on this
project and about RF biological effects and research (www.who.ch/
peh-emf).
The 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.
How does the FCC Audit Cell Phone RF?
After the FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be
marketed,it will occasionally conduct“post-grant”testing to determine
whether production versions of the phone are being produced to
conform with the FCC regulatory requirements.The manufacturer of
a cell phone that does not meet the 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, the 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.The 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 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
Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and
Troubleshooting
179
variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.” When the FCC
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone,it takes into account any
measurement uncertainty to determine whether regulatory action is
appropriate.This approach ensures that when the FCC takes regulatory
action,it will have a sound,defensible scientific basis.
The FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by the 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, the FCC’s approach with
measurement uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed
to any known risk from the RF emitted by cellular telephones.
The 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 the
FDA to believe that a change to the FCC’s measurement policy may
be appropriate,the FDA will contact the FCC,and both agencies will
work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.
