Using the battery  
Note: Your phone comes packaged with a partially charged, rechargeable standard  
Li-Ion battery. The phone can be used while the battery is charging, but must be fully  
charged the first time you use your phone otherwise the battery could be damaged.  
Installing the battery  
The battery attaches to the phone very easily:  
1. Gently place the top end of the battery (The top end of the battery  
displays the word Samsung in raised letters), into the provided slots on  
the underside of the phone (place about half an inch away from the  
button in order to connect with the slots properly.)  
2. Press the battery down and slide it toward the top of the phone until you  
hear it click into place.  
Removing the battery  
To remove the battery from your phone:  
1. Turn the phone off (by pressing and holding  
animation begins.)  
until the closing  
2. On the back side of the phone, hold the button down and push the  
battery toward the bottom edge of the phone (see illustration). The  
battery will then lift or fall away from the phone.)  
38  
       
Charging the battery  
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable standard Li-Ion battery. Only use  
Samsung-approved adaptors and batteries. These adaptors are designed to  
maximize battery life. Using other adaptors will invalidate your warranty and  
may cause damage.  
When the phone has finished charging it can be disconnected.  
Low battery indicator  
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the  
battery indicator (this icon  
is located in the upper-right corner of the  
display screen). The presence of all three bars indicate a full charge. No bars  
(the battery icon is empty) means your battery must be charged.  
The empty battery icon  
Two to 3 minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the  
phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon  
(
), and sounding a tone. If you continue to operate the phone without  
charging the battery, the phone will automatically turn off. If this happens, your  
wireless call will be terminated. However, if you plug into a charging device,  
you can continue your call. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and  
make certain your battery is adequately charged.  
39  
         
Caring for the battery  
Protecting your battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and adaptors. These adaptors are  
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or adaptors voids  
your warranty and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that  
range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).  
Don’t use the battery adaptor 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.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of  
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month: 4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month: 4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)  
batteries  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest  
Samsung 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.  
40  
           
Using the travel adaptor  
The travel adaptor allows you to charge your phone’s battery from any 110 volt  
AC standard wall outlet. Also, using the travel adaptor allows you to make a  
phone call while the battery is charging. The travel adaptor will fully charge an  
“empty” standard battery in approximately 4 hours, and an “empty” extended  
battery in about 6 hours.  
Follow these steps:  
1. With the battery in position in the phone, attach the cord from the travel  
adaptor by plugging it into the adaptor outlet at the bottom of the phone.  
2. Connect the adaptor to a standard 110 volt AC wall outlet. The phone will  
automatically power on. The battery will begin charging immediately, and  
the LED will light and remain red while the battery icon animates, the  
icon will remain animated, even if the phone is turned off during  
charging.  
3. The LED on the phone indicates the status of the battery being charged.  
Red (solid) indicates that the battery is charging.  
Green (solid) indicates that the battery is fully charged.  
Orange (solid) indicates (1) the battery is not seated correctly in  
the phone, (2) the adaptor is not plugged in correctly, or (3) the  
battery is inoperable. Please check the adaptor and/or battery.  
4. Make a phone call at your convenience when the phone is plugged into  
the travel adaptor. The adaptor will continue to charge the battery even  
when you are making the call!  
Note: The battery charges faster when the phone is turned off.

Web/Minibrowser  
Your phone comes equipped with Wireless Web Internet access through a  
MiniBrowser. The MiniBrowser displays immediate information through your  
phone. You can view specially designed versions of popular sites which include  
sports, weather, news, stock quotes, etc. Browsing the Web through your  
phone is not the same as using your PC since site providers have only selected  
certain aspects of the available sites to present to the wireless phone users and  
have removed most graphics.  
Each time you launch the MiniBrowser, the phone will connect to the Internet  
and the service indicator icon will display. Any time the service indicator icon  
is visible on the display, you are connected to the Internet and will be invoiced  
accordingly. Rates and pricing vary according to your service option. For  
further information contact your service provider.  
The MiniBrowser will end an Internet connection after a certain period of  
inactivity, however some information from your session remains stored in the  
phone, and (if you leave your phone turned on) you can access this  
information without reconnecting to the Internet. If you are viewing this stored  
information, and you select a link to a site that was not accessed in your last  
session, then you will automatically be re-connected to the Internet. For this  
reason, you may find that you are billed for several network connections within  
a single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize your bill.  
Note: The phone must be in a digital network to use the MiniBrowser. When you are in a  
digital network, the  
icon is displayed.

Note: When the security key is initially sent to the carrier, a unique value is created. If  
the phone is reset for any reason, you must contact the carrier to reset the security key.  
The original key is no longer valid and will not allow the MiniBrowser to operate.  
To launch the MiniBrowser.

will begin its search to launch the MiniBrowser.  
Note: A reminder of the charge incurred may appear (depending on your prompt setting  
- see “The minibrowser start and end prompts” on page 63). To dismiss the prompt,  
simply choose yes or no. If no prompt is displayed, you are immediately connected to the  
internet.  
3. Once connected, the Home Page (or the last page visited), will be  
displayed. To access the Home Page from any other menu in the  
MiniBrowser, press and hold

plane’s flight path and avoid the cave’s wall. Keep your thumb on the toggle  
pushing “up” repeatedly to counteract gravity that wants to pull the plane

Your life depends on how long you can avoid the creatures and objects that  
appear to cross your path. If you hit the cave’s wall too much, or encounter the  
creatures or objects too many times (3) the game is over. You can pick up “E”  
(energy) along the way to extend your life, and a “B” (bomb) to destroy all the  
objects and creatures. The longer you manage to stay “alive”, the higher your  
score. A high score is recorded each time you play.

itself to zero. You must pick up the specified number of money bags during  
each stage in order to advance to the next stage of the game. If a stage ends,

Usage guidelines —  
all about performance and safety  
Understanding signal strength  
The quality of each call you make or receive, is dependent upon the signal  
strength in your area. Your phone will inform 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. The signal strength indicator (  
)
displays in the upper left corner of your display screen. The voice quality of  
your phone will always be at its clearest when the antenna is fully raised. If  
you’re inside a building, reception may be much better near a window.  
Understanding the power save mode  
If you are trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is too weak, the  
Power Save feature will automatically activate to conserve battery power when  
you have been unable to pick up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it  
will periodically recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself  
manually by pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen any  
time Power Save has been activated. 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 is turned on,  
it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When your phone is in  
use, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can  
range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Specifications are subject to change  
The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time  
of printing, however, Samsung reserves the right to change or modify any of the  
specifications without notice or obligation to update existing units.

FCC RF Exposure information  
The design of your Samsung Phone complies with updated NCRP standards  
described below:  
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  
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
Use only the supplied or an approved 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. If a damaged antenna comes  
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local  
dealer for a replacement antenna. The design of the phone complies with these  
updated standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further  
than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration of your calls  
and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.  
You should not touch the antenna unnecessarily when using the phone.  
Touching the antenna may affect the call quality and may cause the unit to  
operate at higher power than it would need otherwise.  
When using the handset, hold the handset just as you would hold any  
other telephone, and keep the antenna pointed up and over your  
shoulder.  
Use of hands-free devices will further limit RF exposure.  
129  
 
Body-worn operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use a Samsung supplied or approved carrying case,  
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn  
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your  
body when transmitting. Use of non-Samsung approved accessories may violate  
FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
Vehicle mounted external antenna  
(if available)  
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) must be maintained  
between a person and the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF  
exposure requirements.  
Note: For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at  
www.fcc.gov.  
How to order accessories  
Most Samsung accessories can be purchased by visiting our web site at  
www.samsungtelecom.com or calling 1.800.SAMSUNG.  
The accessories available for this phone include:  
Travel adaptor  
Desktop Rapid Charger  
Hands-free headset  
Car adaptor  
Standard, and Extended-life batteries  
Hands-free car kit  
Data cable  
Leather case  
Holster  
The use of any other power accessory will invalidate any approval or warranty  
applying to the phone, and may be dangerous.  
130  
                         
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the  
connector, not the cord.  
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT ONLY GENUINE SAMSUNG  
AUTHORIZED ACCESSORIES BE UTILIZED WITH YOUR SAMSUNG  
PHONE. THIS IS BECAUSE ACCESSORIES MIGHT APPEAR TO BE A  
PERFECT MATCH, AND LABELED SUITABLE FOR YOUR SAMSUNG  
PHONE, BUT THEY CAN CHARGE AT DIFFERENT CURRENT RATES. THE  
CURRENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE ACCESSORY MAY NOT MATCH  
THE CURRENT THAT IS REQUIRED BY YOUR SAMSUNG PHONE AND  
THE RESULT OF USING AN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESSORY MAY BE A  
BATTERY OR PHONE MELT DOWN. YOUR WARRANTY OF COURSE,  
WOULD BE NULL AND VOID.  
Operating a motor vehicle  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS  
PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
You should never use a hand-held phone while operating a motor vehicle. It  
may divert your attention away from driving and may be illegal in some cities,  
states, and jurisdictions. You should park your vehicle legally before using  
your hand-held phone. Remember, safety comes first.  
Your hand-held phone should be stored in a secure place so that, in the  
event of a sudden stop or collision with another vehicle, the phone will  
not damage property or injure anyone. For example, airbags inflate very  
quickly and with great force. Serious injury may result if you have placed  
your phone in the area of deployment of an air bag and the bag inflates.  
Park your vehicle legally before using your hand-held phone.  
Call to report serious emergencies. No charges from your carrier.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
131  
 
Call roadside assistance or a secret non-wireless number when  
necessary.  
Following safety guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special  
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is  
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. All wireless phones  
may be subject to radio interference, which may affect their performance.  
Turning off your phone in dangerous  
areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a  
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should  
be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off  
explosives.  
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive  
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could generate  
sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a 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 engine  
132  
     
Restricting children’s access to your  
phone  
Your Samsung phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it  
because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make  
calls that increase your phone bill.  
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 phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of  
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in  
the air.  
Maintaining your phone’s peak  
performance  
To operate your phone properly — that is, to maintain safe and satisfactory  
service — you should follow these rules:  
For best reception, extend the antenna fully.  
Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.  
Do not hold, bend, or twist the phone antenna at any time.  
Close the phone antenna when not on a call.  
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  
Speak directly into the microphone.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid. If your  
phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the  
battery.  
Only Samsung authorized personnel should service your phone and  
accessories.  
133  
     
Using your phone near other electronic  
devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)  
signals. However, some electronic equipment may not be shielded, or  
adequately shielded, from RF signals. RF signals from wireless telephones may  
affect such equipment.  
RF signals from your phone may affect systems in your vehicle, including  
improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and  
entertainment systems in motor vehicles (such as electronic ignition systems,  
electronic speed control systems, electronic anti-skid or anti-lock braking  
systems, and air bag systems). You should check with the manufacturer of your  
vehicle (and the manufacturers of any equipment added to your vehicle) to  
determine whether its systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals  
and to determine appropriate safety precautions.  
You must 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 and the appropriate safety precautions to take with  
such devices. For example, safety instructions for pacemakers may include  
minimum distances that the phone should be kept from the pacemaker, areas  
where the phone should not be kept (for example, the breast pocket), use of  
the ear opposite the pacemaker, and other such safety instructions. The advice  
from the manufacturers may change from time to time. If at any time you  
suspect any such interference, turn off your phone immediately.  
Turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using  
the phone near medical equipment.  
Storing your phone  
You must not store or carry your phone, its parts, or accessories in the same  
compartment or other area where there flammable liquids, gases, or explosive  
or flammable materials.  
134  
   
Your phone as a network device  
Your telephone requires a service provider in order to send and receive calls.  
Your phone is only one part of a system or “network” of devices, that makes it  
possible to send and receive calls, text messages, voice message, access the  
Internet using the MiniBrowser, and to take advantage of all of the other  
services and features provided to you and your phone.  
Your phone will always try your call using your home system, but if this is  
unavailable, then the phone will use the preferred roaming system.  
If you cannot roam, your call will not be connected, and in some service areas,  
an operator may ask you how you would like to pay for the call.  
To make all of the features available to you, your phone is designed by  
Samsung and your service provider to allow your service provider to send (at  
any time) a variety or information and messages to your phone. You may think  
of this as an over the air service to your phone. During an over-the-air  
programming session, your phone may display the following messages:  
“Programming in progress...” - this message means the phone is  
downloading data. Do not turn your phone off while this is occurring.  
See the CAUTION: below.  
“Programming successful!...” - if this message displays after a series  
of other messages, then it means that your phone has been successfully  
reprogrammed. You can now continue to use your phone as you  
normally do.  
“Programming unsuccessful!” - if this message appears contact your  
service provider.  
CAUTION: If you turn off your phone during a programming session, your  
phone (or some features) may not work properly in the network. If this  
happens don’t worry, contact your service provider for help in correcting the  
problem.

Acknowledging special  
precautions and the FCC and  
Industry Canada Notice  
Information to user  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class  
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

FDA consumer update  
Copied verbatim from: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s  
Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on  
Mobile Phones  
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.  
Why the concern?  
Mobile phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (i.e., radio frequency  
radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low  
levels of radio frequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the  
standby 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.  
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 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  
140  
 
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.  
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. 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.  
141  
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:  
1. 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 that the average length of mobile  
phone exposure in this study was less than three years.  
When 20 types of gliomas 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.1  
2. Researchers conducted a large battery of 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 phone

Tumors. In: State of the Science Symposium; 1999 June 20; Long Beach, California.  
142  
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.1  
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the  
literature:  
1. 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.2  
2. 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.3  
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.  
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 then among  
the rest of the population. One way to answer the 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.  
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 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  
144  
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.  
support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type  
emitted by 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:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Occupational Health and Safety Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.  
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  
145  
the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations when other  
types of phones are not available.  
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars 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 radio frequency energy from these  
products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any  
possible risk.Where can I find additional information?
