Section 2: Understanding Your Device
2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics 21
Battery Life
The main battery has a limited service life. Repeated charging and
discharging of the battery will result in a gradual decrease in the
charging capacity of the battery. If a fully recharged battery operates the
device for a much shorter period than before, this indicates the end of
battery life. When battery life is over, replace the battery with a new one.
The life of the main battery can vary, depending on how the device is used
and ambient temperatures.
Tip: Unlike NiCad and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, charging the main
LiIon battery with some amount of power remaining hardly reduces the
maximum allowable operating time.
Note: Do not use the device at too high a temperature. The battery life
will become shorter than when used at normal temperatures.
Note: For safe disposal options of your Lithium Ion batteries, contact
your nearest Sprint-authorized service center.
Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the
disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Battery Operating Time
The main battery allows approximately 2.5 hours of continuous talk
time, approximately seven days of continuous standby time, or
approximately 12 hours of continuous PDA operation time.
Note: The maximum continuous talk time, standby time, and PDA
operation time are affected by backlight settings, service searching,
vibrate mode, game use, and browser use.
Note: The maximum battery operating time varies, depending on how the
device is stored and on ambient temperatures. Charging or using the
battery at low temperatures (less than 0°C/32°F) can cause a significant
reduction in the maximum operating time because of the characteristics
of a Lithium Ion battery. The standard maximum operating time is
restored when placed under room temperature conditions (25°C/77°F).
Section 2: Understanding Your Device
22 2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics
Extending the Maximum Battery Operating Time
You can use the following methods to extend the maximum operating
time of the main battery:
ᮣ
Decrease the screen brightness. For the setting method, see “Adjusting
the Screen Brightness” on page 44.
ᮣ
Set the device so that screen brightness is automatically lowered when
the main battery is consumed. For the setting method, see “Selecting
Backlight Settings” on page 97.
ᮣ
Place the device into the power saving (low speed) mode. For the
setting method, see “Adjusting Power Settings” on page 100.
ᮣ
Set the device so that the LED does not blink when the alarm is set. For
the setting method, see “Selecting Sounds & Notifications Settings” on
page 96.
ᮣ
Switch off the sound function that produces various sounds, including
beeps generated at the time of key entry and tapping. For the setting
method, see “Selecting Sounds & Notifications Settings” on page 96.
Tip: When connecting to a personal computer, use the AC adapter to
conserve LiIon battery strength.
Section 2: Understanding Your Device
2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics 23
Data Backup Time
When both the main battery and the backup battery are completely
discharged, data stored in the device will be lost. Immediately after the
battery icon indicates the low level or a warning message appears,
connect the AC adapter to charge the battery.
ᮣ
Data will be kept for approximately five days after the main battery is
discharged to such an extent that the device cannot be switched on.
ᮣ
The main battery and the backup battery discharge slowly even when
they are not used. The batteries will be completely discharged when
they are not used for an extended period of time.
ᮣ
It is strongly recommended that you save the device’s data on a
personal computer or a memory card. For the method of backing up
data, see “Backing Up Data” on page 179.
Note: When the device is left with a USB cable or a card connected, the
backup time may be reduced. When not using the device, remove
peripheral equipment from the device.
Note: If the device is left with the battery discharged for an extended
period of time, the battery life may be shortened. Recharge the battery
every three months, even not when using the device for a long period
of time.

Tips for getting good recognition:
ᮣ
Write neatly.
ᮣ
Write on the lines and draw descenders (e.g., the lower part of “g”)
below the line. Write the cross of the “t,” the dots of the “i” and “j,”
and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with
the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
ᮣ
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
ᮣ
Write the letters of a word closely and leave large gaps between words
so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
Note: Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters
such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
Section 2: Understanding Your Device
2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics 59
Note: If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to
an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Drawing on the Screen
You can use the stylus to 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 resized, while writing cannot.
Section 2: Understanding Your Device
60 2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics
To create a drawing:

Recording a Message
In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also
quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a
message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording
in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-
alone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other
means including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog
cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be
corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs)
rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem
encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by
PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the
wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve
this.

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and start roaming by displaying the
icon.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your device off the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.
Tip: 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 PCS Service
is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network.

Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
®
ActiveSync , POP3, or IMAP4:
®
®
ᮣ
If you use ActiveSync , email 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 create and the messages you move 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 computer.
ᮣ
If you use POP3 and you move email 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. While this eliminates duplicate copies of messages,
you will no longer have access to messages moved to folders created
anywhere except the device.
ᮣ
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email messages you
move 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 computer.

art of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is knowing where and
Phow it works at optimum efficiency. This section outlines performance
and safety guidelines that ensure you experience the full quality that your
PCS Phone was designed to give you.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 209
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your device 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 or you can check it yourself by
pressing any key. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby
mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (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 0.341 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your device complies with updated NCRP standards
described below. To further limit RF exposure, you can limit the duration
of your calls and operate your device in the most power-efficient manner.
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
Protections and Measurements (NCRP).
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
210 4A: Safety
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
ᮣ
Hold the phone over your shoulder when in use.
ᮣ
Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone’s antenna.
ᮣ
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ᮣ
Speak directly into the microphone.
ᮣ
Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If
your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove
the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or call
PCS Customer Solutions for service.
Note: For the best care of your device, only Sprint Authorized Personnel
should service your device and accessories. Faulty service may void the
warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your
Device
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Device While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your device in the car:
ᮣ
Get to know your device and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
ᮣ
When available, use a hands-free device.
ᮣ
Position your device within easy reach.
ᮣ
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
ᮣ
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 211
ᮣ
ᮣ
ᮣ
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
stationary or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert
your attention from the road.
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless
phone.
ᮣ
ᮣ
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number
when necessary.
Tip: Purchase an optional Hands-Free Car Kit.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices
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.
Note: Always turn off the device in health care facilities and request
permission before using the device near medical equipment.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
212 4A: Safety
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
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 device as a phone while the plane is on the
ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit
using your device as a phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
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 device off when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your device 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:
ᮣ
Fueling areas such as gas stations
ᮣ
Below deck on boats
ᮣ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
ᮣ
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust
or metal powders
ᮣ
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your device or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could
hurt themselves and others, damage the device, or make calls that
increase your phone bill.

Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your device not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void your warranty for this
equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use
specified batteries, antennas and chargers. Although your device is quite
sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while in
operation can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless device.
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
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

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 April 3, 2002. For further
1. What is radiofrequency energy (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).
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 225
2. How is radiofrequency energy used?
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 as shoes and pocketbooks, and process
food. Medical uses of RF energy include pacemaker monitoring and
programming.
3. How is radiofrequency radiation measured?
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
2
centimeter (mW/cm ) or microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square
2
centimeter (µW/cm ).
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).
4. What biological effects can be caused by RF energy?
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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
226 4A: Safety
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.
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.
5. What levels of RF energy are considered safe?
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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 227
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:
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
228 4A: Safety
6. Why has the FCC adopted guidelines for RF exposure?
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 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.
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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 229
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)].
7. How can I obtain the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for my
wireless phone?
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
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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
230 4A: Safety
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 Websites. In addition, some non-government Websites 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.
8. Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from
exposure to RF 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.
9. Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head
from RF radiation work?
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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 231
users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims.
According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to
substantiate their claim.
10. What are wireless telephone base stations?
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as
cellular base stations, cell stations, 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 PCS communications generally require fewer
transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since PCS
carriers usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
232 4A: Safety
11. Are wireless telephone base stations safe?
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 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 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 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 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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 233
Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance.
12. Who regulates exposure to radiation from microwave ovens,
television sets and computer monitors?
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the
public from harmful radiation emissions from these consumer products.
13. Does the FCC routinely monitor radiofrequency radiation from
antennas?
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
found in A Local Government Official’s Guide to Transmitting Antenna
RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance. This
exposure problems should be brought to the FCC’s attention by
contacting the FCC RF Safety Program at: 202-418-2464 or by email:
the location and technical parameters of all the transmitting
towers it regulates?
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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
234 4A: Safety
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
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.
15. Can local and state governmental bodies establish limits for RF
exposure?
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
16. 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 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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 235
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.
17. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
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:
ᮣ
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
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:

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 phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject
of the safety questions discussed in this document.
18. 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
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.
19. 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 radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 237
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.
20. 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 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 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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
238 4A: Safety
21. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health
effects of wireless phone RF?
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.
22. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency
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 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.
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 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 239
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.
23. 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 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.
24. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
240 4A: Safety
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.
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.
25. 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 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 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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 241
its standards and are used according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations are safe for consumer and industrial use. More
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:
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.
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 Website for RF biological effects
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
242 4A: Safety
information is listed with other sites in conjunction with a question on
other sources of information, below.
26. 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 a Website that provides extensive information on this
project and about RF biological effects and research
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.
