THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.42mW/g and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.33mW/g. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements).
[Labeling Committee note: if applicable, if body-worn
SARs are required]. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a subestantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
emplots a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone
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
phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels soo 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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
BEJTM510.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
* In the United States and Cananda, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
SUBJECT
The LG-TM510 phone has been designed to
operate on the latest digital mobile communication
technology, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).
This CDMA digital technology has greatly enhanced
voice clarity and can provide a variety of advanced
features. Currently, CDMA mobile communication
technology has been commercially used in Cellular
and Personal Communication Service (PCS).
The difference between them is the operating
frequency spectrum. Cellular uses 800Mhz and PCS
uses 1.9Ghz. The LG-TM510 can operate on both
frequency, we usually call it dual-band phone. Also,
LG-TM510 works on Advanced Mobile Phone
Service (AMPS). We call it triple-mode phone. If one
of the Cellular, PCS and AMPS base stations is
located nearby, Call fail rate of triple-mode phone is
less than dual-mode phone or single-mode phone.
The CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum). This feature of DSSS
enables the phone to keep communication from
being crossed and to use one frequency channel by
multiple users in the same specific area, resulting
that it increases the capacity 10 times more
compared with that in the analog mode currently
used. Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and
Dynamic RF power Control technologies are
combined into this phone to reduce the call being
interrupted in a middle of talking over the phone.
Cellular and PCS CDMA network consists of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station
Controller), BTS (Base station Transmission
System), and MS (Mobile Station). The following
table lists some major CDMA Standards.

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.
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.

120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
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.
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.
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.

consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Persons with pacemakers;
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
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.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
If you have any reason to suspect that interference in taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
FDA Consumer Update
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.
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.
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.
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.
Vehicles
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.
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.
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
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a ‘blasting area” or in areas posted; “Turn off two-way

mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance
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.
of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it
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.
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.
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:
support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by mobile phones;
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.
design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function ; and cooperate in
providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on
what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on
human health.
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:
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.

In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk,
what can concerned individuals do?
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.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting

every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more
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.

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.
