10 Driver Safety Tips  
This section provides an introduction to the LG-  
DM110. It includes illustrations and descriptions of  
the important phone parts and instructions for  
getting your phone powered up and ready to use.  
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to  
communicate by voice-almost anywhere, anytime. But an  
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless  
phones, one that every user must uphold.  
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When  
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice  
good common sense and remember the following tips:  
Antenna  
Handstrap hole  
Lamp  
Headset Jack  
Buzzer  
1. Get to knew your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial  
and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call  
without taking attention off the road.  
Earpiece  
2. When available, use a hands free device. If possible, add an  
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone  
with one of the many hands free accessories available today.  
LCD screen  
Side Keys  
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access  
your wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If  
you get the incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let  
your voice mail answer it for you.

4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather  
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be  
hazardous.

keypad  
Scroll keys  
Microphone  
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting  
down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes  
attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safety.  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; If possible, place calls when  
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls  
when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while  
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors,  
they continue.

Chapter 10. Safety Guidelines  
Safety Information  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal  
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio  
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends  
out radio frequency(RF) signals.  
European and international agencies have set standards and  
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF  
electromagnetic energy.  
Internation Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection  
(ICNIRP) 1996  
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechnik(VDE) DIN-0848  
Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in  
Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy  
National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom,  
GS 11, 1988  
American National Standards Institute(ANSI) IEEE C95.1-1992  
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements  
(NGRP), Report 86  
Department of Heath and Welfare Canada, Safety Code 6  
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For  
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from  
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the  
available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard.  
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used  
normally. Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments  
could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.  
Efficient Phone Operation  
Normal Position  
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna  
pointed up and over your shoulder.  
Tips on Efficient Operation:  
For your phone to operate most efficiently;  
Extend your antenna fully  
63  
Persons with pacemakers;  
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in  
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may  
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than  
otherwise needed.  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their  
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the  
potential for interference;  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,  
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area  
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle  
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,  
serious injury could result.  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference in taking place,  
turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.  
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your  
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.  
Batteries  
Caution : All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if  
a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains,  
touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an  
electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such  
unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged  
battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or  
other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached  
from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery  
cover, please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in  
use.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to  
assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in  
health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas  
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using  
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones  
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.  
Vehicles  
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:  
Give full attention to driving-driving safely is your first  
responsibility;  
Use hands-free operation, if available;  
Pull off the road and park before making or answer a call if  
driving conditions so require.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacture or  
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult  
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your  
vehicle.  
Most modem electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.  
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against  
the RF signals from your wireless phone.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so require,  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch  
OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a  
minimum separation of six(6”) inches be maintained between a  
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential  
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are  
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations  
of Wireless Technology Research.  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF  
when in a ‘blasting area” or in areas posted; “Turn off two-way  
radio”. Obey all signal and instructions.  
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive  
64  
65  
between the phone’s antenna—the primary source of the RF—and  
the person’s head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in  
which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on  
the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from  
hand-held phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases  
rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called  
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the  
telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power  
levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.  
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such  
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or  
even death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always  
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline  
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage  
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas(such as propane  
or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,  
such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where  
you would normally be advised to turn off you your vehicle engine.  
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be  
harmful?  
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way;  
however, research efforts are on-going.  
FDA Consumer Update  
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile  
phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following  
summarizes what is known—and what remains unknown—about  
whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can  
be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be  
used to respond to questions.  
The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the  
studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in  
their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the  
effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have  
yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have  
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development  
of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically  
altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer  
developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were  
exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much  
uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from  
animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is  
uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to  
humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor  
development used animals that had already been treated with  
cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals  
to the RF virtually continuously—up to 22 hours per day.  
Why the concern?  
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e.,  
radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used.  
They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF),  
considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well  
known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage  
through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to  
cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or  
through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse  
health effects as well. Although some research has been done to  
address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of  
this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available  
science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are  
absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available  
scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health  
effects associated with the use of mobile phones.  
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone  
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones.  
This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit  
additional study:  
In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an  
association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of  
brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve  
sheath). No statistically significant association was found between  
mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no  
association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types  
of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted  
What kinds of phones are in question?  
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the  
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the  
user’s head during normal telephone conversation. These types of  
mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance

they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test  
when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This  
was the only change noted among more than 20 variables  
compared.  
that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was  
less than three years.  
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an  
association was found between mobile phone use and one rare  
type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with  
multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association  
occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how  
often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact,  
the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone  
use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased  
exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National  
Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and  
repeatability of these results.  
3. In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls,  
there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile  
phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however,  
they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the  
mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small  
number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be  
statistically significant.  
4. In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to  
assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health  
problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to  
work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry,  
to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary  
answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile  
phones.  
1. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to  
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic  
material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities,  
including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks,  
and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called  
lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except  
for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the  
genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after  
exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours  
of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation  
for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be  
sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the  
abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the  
response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus,  
follow-up research is necessary.  
What is known about cases of human cancer that have been  
reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?  
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed  
with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of  
cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile  
phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate  
of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate,  
assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing  
at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases of brain  
cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million  
people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not  
possible to tell whether any individual’s cancer arose because of the  
phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question  
is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater  
among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the  
population. One way to answer that question is to compare the  
usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the  
use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without  
brain cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current case-  
control study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as  
well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will  
begin to generate this type of information.  
2. FDA is currently working with government, industry, and  
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-  
funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular  
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is  
expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and  
scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such  
recommendations.  
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the  
literature:  
Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone  
signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive  
function tests. There were no changes in the subjects’ ability to  
recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but  
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile phones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting  
consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it

distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the  
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example,  
they could switch to a mobile phone in which the antenna is located  
outside the vehicle, a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna  
connected to a different antenna mounted on the outside of the car  
or built into a separate package, or a headset with a remote  
antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.  
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has  
authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit  
radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,  
FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile 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 at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to  
take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has  
recommended that the industry:  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones  
are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency  
energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined  
above can reduce any possible risk.

the type emitted by mobile phones;  
Where can I find additional information?

At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of  
the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of  
mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal  
level. These agencies are:

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 people are  
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple  
steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in  
how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend  
long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could  
consider holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones  
and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for  
situations when other types of phones are not available.
