Using the Batteries  
This device uses two types of batteries; one is the main Lithium Ion  
(LiIon) battery and the other is the backup battery that holds data when  
the main battery is replaced. Because the device is shipped with neither of  
the batteries charged, make sure to charge the batteries before starting to  
use the device. The backup battery, which has been built into the device,  
is automatically charged through the main battery or the AC adapter.  
The main battery will be referred to in this guide as just the battery.  
Installing the Main Battery  
Use the following procedure to install the supplied main battery:  
1. While holding down the battery cover (A), slide it forward while  
pressing the release button (B).

Charging the Battery  
Use one of the following two methods for charging the battery:  
Connect the supplied AC adapter and cradle as shown below, and then  
attach the device onto the cradle. For information on using the cradle,  
see “USB Cradle” on page 30.  
- or -  
Connect the supplied AC adapter to the device as shown below.  
The LED for Charging lights amber while charging is being performed.  
The LED turns green when charging is completed. For more information  
about the LED for Charging, see “LEDs” on page 29.  
LED for charging  
It takes approximately three hours to finish charging a battery that has  
only enough power for data backup, but not enough for operation.  
Section 2: Understanding Your Device  
20 2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics  
   
Note: Charge the battery at an ambient temperature in the range from  
0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F). Depending on the operating conditions of the  
device, charging may be interrupted even when the ambient temperature  
is lower than 35°C (95°F).  
Note: If the ambient temperature becomes too high during charging, the  
Charging LED lights red and charging is interrupted. Charging is  
automatically restarted when the ambient temperature becomes  
appropriate.  
Note: The battery may not be properly charged at low temperatures  
(less than 0°C/32°F) in winter. If this is the case, charge the battery in a  
warm room.  
Note: If the device is used as it is just after purchase or after the device  
is left without being charged for an extended period of time, the  
remaining battery power may not be correctly indicated. Before using  
the device, be sure to charge the battery until the LED for Charging turns  
green.  
Note: When the device has been connected with the AC adapter or  
placed on the cradle, incoming calls do not cause vibration, even with  
vibration on.  
Note: As the battery nears a full charge, the LED for charging may turn  
green and orange alternately.  
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.

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.

TTY  
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of  
hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by  
telephone.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the  
manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital  
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a  
special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was  
not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device  
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.  
Use the following procedure to make a setting for TTY:  
1. Tap , then Settings. On the Personal tab, tap Phone, then the TTY  
tab on the bottom.

Note: You cannot change the TTY setting during a call.  
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.

Experience

Understanding Roaming  
Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard  
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the  
RSprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new single band PCS Phone  
works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to  
roam on digital networks where compatible wireless service is available.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let  
you manage your roaming experience.  
Section 2: Understanding Your Device  
2E: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 103  
   
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.  
Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode  
Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the  
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your device

unavailable, the phone searches for an alternative system.  
Sprint: This setting allows you to select the Sprint Nationwide PCS  
Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call  
Guard  
In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming  
charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming  
charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls. It  
also requires you to take additional steps before placing or answering a  
roaming call. These additional steps are not required when you make or  
receive calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.  
To Turn the Call Guard Feature On or Off:  
1. From the dialer screen, tap Options on the Tools menu to display the  
Phone setting screen.  
2. Tap the Others tab.  
3. Check Automatic.  
4. Check “Display message at Roaming Area begin call state.” to  
turn the Call Guard on. To turn the Call Guard off, clear the checkbox.

®
®
Synchronize email messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft  
Outlook® on your computer.  
Send and receive email messages by connecting directly to an email  
server through PCS Connection.  
Synchronizing Email Messages  
Email messages can be synchronized as part of the general  
synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization  
®
in ActiveSync . For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see  
ActiveSync® Help on the computer.  
During synchronization:  
®
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on  
your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By  
default, you will receive messages from the past five days only, the first  
100 lines of each message, and those not including file attachments.  
Email messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to  
Exchange or Outlook , and then sent from those programs.  
®
®
Email messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your  
computer in order to be transferred.  
Connecting Directly to an Email Server  
Your device can send and receive email messages by connecting to an  
email server. For more information about establishing this remote  
connection, see “Connecting Directly to an Email Server” on page 171.  
Once connected to the email server:  
New messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder.  
Messages in the device Outbox folder are sent.  
Deleted messages are removed from the device Inbox folder.  
Section 2: Understanding Your Device

Messages received directly from an email server are linked to your email  
server rather than your computer. When a message is deleted from your  
device, it will also be deleted from the email server the next time you  
connect.  
When working online connected to your server, you can immediately read  
and respond to messages – they are sent as soon as you tap Send, saving  
space on your device.  
To work offline, download new message headers or partial messages and

Managing Email Messages and Folders  
Messages are displayed in one of five folders: 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

To create new folders, tap Tools then Manage Folders. For all service  
except ActiveSync®, you can access folder options by tapping Tools then  
Manage Folders. To move a message to another folder, tap and hold the  
message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.  
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.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync  
®
®
Using Microsoft ActiveSync , you can synchronize the information on  
your computer with the information on your device. Synchronization  
compares the data on your device with your computer and updates both  
computers with the most recent information. For example:  
®
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device  
®
®
with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.  
®
®
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your  
device and computer. Your files are automatically converted to the  
correct format.  
Note: Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for  
specific information types.  
With ActiveSync, you can also:  
Back up and restore your device data.  
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and  
computer.  
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization  
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected  
to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.  
Select which information types are synchronized and control how  
much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many  
weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.  
®
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your computer  
®
from the Companion CD. ActiveSync is already installed on your device.

PCS Vision FAQs  
How will I know when my device is ready for PCS Vision Service?  
Your user name (for example, [email protected]) will display  
on your device’s display screen.  
How do I know when my device is connected to PCS Vision  
Services?  
Your device automatically connects when PCS Vision Service is used or an  
incoming message arrives. (Connecting takes about 10-12 seconds.)  
Can I make calls and use PCS Vision Services at the same time?  
You cannot use voice and data services simultaneously. If you receive a  
call while the data service is active, the call will be forwarded into  
voicemail. You can place an outgoing call at any time, but it will  
interrupt any in-progress data session.  
When is my data connection active?  
Your connection is active when data is being transferred. Outgoing calls  
are allowed, but incoming calls go directly to voicemail.  
When is my data connection dormant?  
If no data is received for 10 seconds, the connection goes dormant. When  
the connection is dormant, voice calls are allowed. (The connection can  
go active again quickly.) If no data is received for a long time, the  
connection will terminate.

weather, sports, and much more. Your voice does it all with PCS Voice  
Command.  
Section 3: Using PCS Service Features  
3C: PCS Voice Command 203  
   
Getting Started With PCS Voice Command  
With PCS Voice Command:  
You can store all your contact’s phone numbers, so you can simply say  
the name of the person you want to call.  
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers, memorize voicemail  
passwords, or try to dial while you’re driving.  
You can call anyone in your address book – even if you don’t  
remember their phone number.  
It’s Easy to Get Started  
Just dial S T from your PCS Phone to activate the service  
and listen to brief instructions directly from your device. There is a  
monthly charge for PCS Voice Command.  
Creating Your Own Address Book  
You can program up to 500 names into your personal address book, with  
each name having up to five phone numbers. That’s 2,500 phone  
numbers – and with the advanced technology of PCS Voice Command,  
you can have instant access to all of them.  
There are four ways to update your address book:  
Use Voice Recordings: Simply dial S T and say, “Add  
name.” You will then be asked to say the name and number you want  
to add to your personal address book. Your address book can store up to  
20 voice recorded names at once.  
On the Web: Go to www.talk.sprintpcs.com and receive a fully  
functional Web-based address book to create and update your contacts.

Making a Call With PCS Voice Command  
1. Once you’ve signed up for PCS Voice Command and created your  
address book, all you do is tap S T. You’ll hear a tone  
followed by the prompt “Ready.”  
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a natural voice, “Call” and  
the name of the person or the number you’d like to call. For example,  
you can say, “Call Jane Smith at work,” “Call John Baker on the  
mobile phone,” “Call 555-1234,” or “Call Bob Miller.”  
3. Your request will be repeated and you will be asked to verify. Say “Yes”  
to call the number or person. Say “No” if you wish to cancel.  
4. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind that PCS Voice  
Command recognizes not only your voice, but any voice, so that others  
can experience the same convenience if they use your device.

art of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is knowing where and

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.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety 213  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only specified batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are  
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers  
voids your warranty and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that  
range from 32º F to 95º F (0º C to 35º C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity  
areas, such as the bathroom.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long  
period of time.  
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable  
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs  
replacing.  
Do not store the battery in temperatures that exceed the recommended  
range (–4º F to 140º F [–20º C to 60º C]).  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest  
Sprint-authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,  
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be  
prohibited.  
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and  
the FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
This device may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity  
to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the device  
if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied  
petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire  
Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the  
National Fire Protections Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,  
MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

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  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

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  
updates, please visit the Website: http://www.fda.gov/cellphones/.)  
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  
following Web address: www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page, you will see  
instructions for entering the FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number  
exactly as requested (the Grantee Code is the first three characters, the  
Equipment Product Code is the rest of the FCC ID number). Then click  
on “Start Search.” The “Grant of Equipment Authorization” for your  
telephone should appear. Read through the grant for the section on “SAR  
Compliance,” “Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules for RF  
Exposure” or similar language. This section should contain the value(s)  
for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.  
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have  
the maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment  
Authorization.” For phones and products authorized between about mid-  
1998 and June 2000, detailed information on SAR levels is typically found  
in the exhibits associated with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the  
exhibits can be viewed by clicking on “View Exhibit.” Grants authorized  
prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather, have been  
documented in the form of paper records.  
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.  
This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.  
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  
Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety. Potential  
exposure problems should be brought to the FCC’s attention by  
contacting the FCC RF Safety Program at: 202-418-2464 or by email:  
14. Does the FCC maintain a database that includes information on  
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  
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:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
236 4A: Safety  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency  
working group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the  
United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF  
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety  
questions about wireless phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely  
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the  
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these  
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can  
get from wireless 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  
information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.  
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for  
public exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF  
safety and health are presently limited to advisory functions. For  
example, the EPA now chairs an Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working  
Group, which coordinates RF health-related activities among the various  
federal agencies with health or regulatory responsibilities in this area.  
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous  
chemical and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide  
for exposure of workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this  
guide was later ruled to be only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it  
was based on an earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised.  
At the present time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines  
for enforcement purposes under OSHA’s “general duty clause” (for more  
information see:  
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.
