Tips on efficient operation  
Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with  
any other radio transmitting device, donot  
touch the antenna unnecessarily when the  
phone is switched on.  
Contact with the antenna affects call  
quality and may cause the phone to  
operate at a higher power level than  
otherwise needed.  
Whenyouavoidtouching  
the antenna area during a call, you optimize the antenna  
performance and the talktime of your phone.  
Normal position: Hold the phone as you would any  
other telephone.

SELECTION KEYS  
The left and right selection keys ( and  
are beneath each corner of the screen.  
)
Selection keys are used to enter, select, and  
exit menus, submenus, and lists, while the  
scroll key is used to navigate from within  
those items. A selection key’s function is  
always defined by the text that appears  
above it in the screen.  
[ 17 ]  
       
For example, in this screen, the word Menu appears above the selection  
key. Press the left selection key ( ) to enter the menu function. Press the  
right selection key ( ) under Names to access Phone book functions.  
2
SCROLL KEY  
The scroll key is positioned between the  
selection keys. Press the up arrow  
(
) or the down arrow (  
) to  
scroll through your phone’s menus and  
Phone book.  
Memory use  
In your Nokia 6590i phone, Phone book entries, SMS and MMS messages,  
the Calendar notes, To-do list, WAP cache, WAP bookmarks, and WAP  
security cache and certificates features share memory space. When any  
of these features is used, there is less memory available for other features.  
This is especially true with heavy use of some features. If your use of one  
or more of these features takes all of the shared memory, your phone may  
display a message saying Memory full. To proceed, you would need to  
delete some of the information or entries from these features to make  
additional memory space available.

dictionary.

(for N)  
(for o)  
(for k)

• ABOUT VOICE MAIL  
Voice mail is a network feature that allows callers to leave a voice  
message for you when you are not able to take the call.  
7
To use voice mail, you must have:  
A voice mail subscription  
A voice mailbox number  
A temporary password  
These items are assigned by your service provider. Your service provider  
should also tell you how to record a greeting for your voice mailbox and  
how to change the temporary password.  
After you obtain this information from your service provider, you must  
then save the voice mailbox number to your phone.  
voice mail indicators  
When you receive a voice message, your phone lets you know by beeping,  
displaying an icon on the screen, or showing a text message. The method  
of notification depends upon your carrier.  
Additionally, if you receive more than one voice mail message, your phone  
may display the number of messages that you have received. Finally, if you  
subscribe to two different phone lines, the message would indicate the  
line to which the message was addressed.  
Note: If you have difficulty using the voice mail feature, contact  
your service provider.

• AUTOMATE VOICE MAIL WITH DIALING CODES  
You can insert special characters called “dialing codes” into phone  
numbers such as voice mail and then save the number to a 1-touch  
dialing location. Dialing codes instruct the receiving system to pause,  
wait, bypass, or accept the numbers that follow them in the dialing string.  
See “Use special characters” on page 36.  
Important: If you enter your PIN as part of the automated dialing  
process, anyone who has access to your phone will be able to  
access your voice mail as well. To prevent unauthorized use of your  
phone, see “Manage phone security” on page 115.

Note: Each voice mail service can vary. The examples and steps  
that follow are for clarification. Check with your wireless provider  
if you have specific questions about your voice mail service.

• USE VOICE DIALING  
Your phone’s voice dialing feature allows handsfree operation while you  
place a call. Before using this feature, you need to create entries in the  
Phone book so you can associate a "voice tag" with a name and number.  
Add a voice tag to a Phone book entry  
To create entries in the Phone book, see “Add an entry to the Phone book”  
on page 46.

Note: Do not press Quit unless you want to cancel the recording.  
[ 66 ]  
   
Use voice features  
The phone automatically stops recording, then saves and replays the voice  
tag. If the recording is not successful, your phone displays Voice system  
error. Press Options, scroll to Add voice tag, and repeat steps 3 - 5.  
Warning: Do not rely only on a voice tag for dialing emergency  
numbers. In emergencies, stress causes changes in your voice,  
which may keep the phone from recognizing the command.  
Notes about voice tags  
Before using voice dialing, note that:  
Voice tags are not language dependent. They are dependent on the  
speaker's voice.  
7
Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record them and make  
calls in a quiet environment.  
When recording a voice tag or making a call by saying a voice tag,  
hold the phone in the normal position near to your ear.  
Very short names are not accepted. Use long names and avoid similar  
names for different numbers.  
Note: You must say the name exactly as you said it when you  
recorded it. This may be difficult in, for example, a noisy  
environment or during an emergency, so you should not rely solely  
upon voice dialing in all circumstances.  
Make a call using a voice tag  
1
Press and hold Names.  
You can also press and hold the down volume key.  
When you hear several beeps and Please speak now appears, release  
the button.

Set a timed profile  
Timed profiles can be very useful in preventing missed calls. For example,  
suppose you attend an event that requires you set your phone to the  
Silent profile before the event starts, but forget to return it to Normal  
until hours after the event is over. During this time, you’ve missed several  
calls because your phone’s ringing tone was silent. A timed profile can  
prevent this from happening by automatically returning your phone to the  
default profile at a time you specify.  
Note: Timed profiles can be set up to 24 hours in advance.

12 Your wireless Internet browser  
Your phone has a built-in browser you  
can use to connect to selected services  
on the wireless Internet. You can view  
weather reports, check news or flight  
times, view financial information, make  
online purchases and much more.  
Warning: Do not switch on the phone when the use of a wireless  
phone is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.  
Note: Check with your wireless provider for WAP service  
availability. WAP pages are designed using Wireless Markup

• NOTES ON WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS  
This section gives a brief overview of wireless Internet technology.  
Technology background  
WAP  
A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile  
devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. The  
mobile community began developing WAP several years ago to provide  
access to the Internet for mobile users.  
[ 122 ]  
     
Your wireless Internet browser  
Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages  
even contain low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service  
provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the  
sites are as variable as Web pages on the Internet.  
Internet content on your personal computer is called a “web page.”  
GPRS  
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a technology used to send and  
receive data via short bursts or packets over the wireless network. GPRS  
allows you to stay connected to the Internet. This feature allows for faster  
downloads of information and no time spent completing a dial-up connection.  
Applications using GPRS include the WAP browser, text messaging and  
dial-up connections for making digital data calls.  
• For information about how to track time spent online, see “Check data  
calls” on page 59.  
• For information about sending messages via GPRS, see “Choose other  
message settings” on page 74.  
12  
• For information about dial-up connections, refer to “GPRS dial-up  
connections” on page 159.  
• For availability, pricing, and subscription to GPRS services, contact  
your service provider.  
The service provider’s role  
Because wireless Internet content is designed to be viewed from your  
phone, your wireless service provider now becomes your “wireless Internet  
service provider” as well.  
It’s likely that your service provider has created a home page and set up  
your browser to go to this page when you log on to the Internet. Once at  
your service provider’s home page, you’ll find links to a number of other  
sites.  
[ 123 ]  
 
• SET UP FOR BROWSING  
You should not need to do anything to set up your phone for browsing.  
Your service provider usually modifies the appropriate settings when you  
subscribe to the feature. Contact your service provider if you have problems  
using the browser.  
• SIGN ON TO THE INTERNET  
You use the Services menu to connect to the Internet.  
1
Press Menu 10 (Services).  
Home appears highlighted.  
2
Press Select.  
Your phone connects to the Internet and to your service provider’s home  
page. If you see the message Check service settings, the phone may not  
be set up for browsing. Contact your service provider to make sure that  
your phone is configured properly.  
12  
• USE BROWSER OPTIONS  
The Services menu gives you the options shown in the following list.  
Some service providers may have customized the options on the Services  
menu. Contact your service provider for more information if any of the  
options shown here are not available.

space. It’s advisable to empty your cache at the end of  
each session.  
• NAVIGATE THE WIRELESS INTERNET  
Since your phone’s screen is much smaller than a computer screen, WAP  
content is displayed in a different format than you may be used to seeing.  
This section shows simple guidelines for using the phone’s keys to navigate  
a WAP site. Examples of how to read a WAP site follow the guidelines.

About authority certificates  
To use some WAP services, such as banking services, you need an authority  
certificate. Using the certificate can help you to improve the security of  
connections between your phone and a WAP server.  
You can download the certificate from a WAP page if the WAP service  
supports the use of authority certificates. After the download, you can  
view the certificate, then save or delete it. If you save the certificate, it is  
added to the list of certificates in the phone.

network coverage.  
You can take advantage of this continuous connection when browsing the  
Internet. When you are finished browsing, the connection stays active for  
quick access the next time you need to download information.  
[ 129 ]  
     
You can choose one of the following options from the Services settings  
menu:  
Always online: the connection is established when you turn your  
phone on. The connection continues in the background even after you  
are finished browsing, depending on network coverage.

16 Reference information  
• BATTERY STATEMENTS  
Charging and Discharging  
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.  
Note that a new battery's full performance may be achieved only after  
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles!  
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will  
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby  
time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.  
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge  
your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer.  
Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected  
to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its  
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over  
time.  
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge;  
allow it to cool down or warm up first.  
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.  
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.  
16  
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur  
when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the  
+ and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example,  
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting  
the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.  
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer  
or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.  
Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F. A phone with a hot  
[ 160 ]  
   
Reference information  
or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully  
charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures  
well below freezing.  
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!  
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (for example,  
recycling). Do not dispose of as household waste.  
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION  
This section provides additional safety information. A brief overview of  
safety can be found in “Safety first” on page 1.  
Traffic safety  
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Always secure  
the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or  
where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.  
Remember road safety always comes first!  
Operating environment  
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and  
always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when  
it may cause interference or danger.  
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.  
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read the  
associated user guide first and obtain detailed safety instructions.  
16  
Electronic devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)  
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded  
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.  
[ 161 ]  
 
PACEMAKERS  
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6  
inches (20 cm) be maintained between a hand-held 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. Persons with  
pacemakers:  
Should always keep the phone more than 6 inches (20 cm) from their  
pacemaker when the phone is switched on  
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 is taking place,  
switch off your phone 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 service provider.  
Other medical devices  
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,  
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical  
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to  
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if  
you have any questions. Switch off your phone 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.  
16  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel  
injection systems, electronic antiskid/antilock braking systems, electronic  
[ 162 ]  
     
Reference information  
speed control systems, air bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or  
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the  
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
POSTED FACILITIES  
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.  
Potentially explosive atmospheres  
Switch off your phone 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.  
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refueling point  
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on  
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution  
areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always  
clearly marked. They include below deck on boats; 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 your vehicle engine.  
Vehicles  
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in  
a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may  
invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.  
16  
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is  
mounted and operating properly.  
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the  
same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.  
[ 163 ]  
 
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that 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.  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your  
phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an  
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the  
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.  
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of  
telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.  
• EMERGENCY CALLS  
IMPORTANT! This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using  
radio signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as user-  
programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all  
conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore you should never rely  
solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications (for  
example, medical emergencies).  
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or  
when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)  
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR  
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
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 substantial safety margin  
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs 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 accepted 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 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.  
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 (for example, at the ear and worn on  
the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value  
for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the  
ear is 1.13 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user  
guide, is 1.02 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).  
16  
[ 166 ]  
 
Reference information  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones  
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone  
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF  
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with  
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID LJP NSM-9.  
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC  
RF exposure guidelines when used with the Nokia accessories supplied or  
designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure  
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines..  
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used  
by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (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. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting  
requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions  
please look under product information at www.nokia.com.

• CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should  
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any  
warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years.  
When using your phone, battery, charger, or any accessory:  
Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small  
children.  
Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that  
will corrode electronic circuits.  
Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts can be  
damaged.  
Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of  
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.  
Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its normal  
operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, which  
could damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.  
Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device could  
damage it.  
Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal  
circuit boards.  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents  
to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened  
in a mild soap-and-water solution.  
16  
Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent  
proper operation.  
If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not working properly,  
take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will  
assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.

A FEW PRACTICAL RULES FOR ACCESSORY  
OPERATION  
Keep all accessories out of the reach of small children.  
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull  
the plug, not the cord.  
Check regularly that any vehicle-installed accessories are mounted  
and are operating properly.  
Installation of any complex car accessories must be made by qualified  
personnel only.  
Use only batteries, chargers, and accessories that have been approved  
by the phone manufacturer. The use of any other types could  
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone and could  
be dangerous.

Safety is the most important call you will ever make.  
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use  
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique  
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone.  
Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate  
by voice--almost anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids,  
with emergency personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans make  
billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.  
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless  
phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A  
wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at  
all times while driving a motor vehicle--whether on the phone or not.  
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness,  
caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense---keep your  
head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out  
for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within  
the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the  
same.  
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a  
call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when  
behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch,  
simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to  
help others in need.  
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.  
Wireless Phone "Safety Tips"  
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which  
should be easy to remember.  
1
Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.  
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable  
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work  
to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without  
taking your attention off the road.

When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free wireless phone  
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted  
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of  
these devices if available to you.  
Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your  
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing  
your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if  
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.  
Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let  
the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the  
[ 192 ]  
Appendix A Message from the CTIA  
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice  
can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is  
to pay attention to the road.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an  
address book or business card, or writing a "to do" list while driving a car, you  
are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a  
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention  
to the road or nearby vehicles.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not  
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your  
trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop  
sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving,  
follow this simple tip--dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors,  
then continue.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.  
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix--they are  
distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make  
people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend  
conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.  
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the  
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous  
situations--with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial  
9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road  
hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!  
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone  
provides you a perfect opportunity to be a "Good Samaritan" in your  
community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious  
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number,  
as you would want others to do for you.  
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number  
when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require  
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But  
you still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down  
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident  
where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside  
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.  
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard  
to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry  
Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to  
inform wireless phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and good  
citizens. As we approach a new century, more and more of us will take advantage of  
the benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a  
responsibility to drive safely.  
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.

Administration) to all users

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones  
U.S. Food and Drug Administration  
1. 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 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.  
2. 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  
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 subject  
of the safety questions discussed in this document.  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
[ 196 ]  
Appendix B Message from the FDA  
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 far  
below the FCC safety limits.  
4. 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 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.  
5.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.  
6. 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.  
[ 197 ]  
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.  
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can  
get by using my wireless phone?  
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these  
guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC  
limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6  
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed  
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on  
Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s  
ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well  
below levels known to have effects.  
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to  
the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the  
FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the  
online listing.  
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming  
from wireless phones?  
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for  
measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless  
handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,  
Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the  
Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques, sets forth the  
first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of  
wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head.  
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of  
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the  
amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is  
measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether  
a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.  
9. 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.  
[ 198 ]  
Appendix B Message from the FDA  
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.  
10. 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.  
11. 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 and wireless phones so that  
no interference occurs when a person uses a compatible phone and a accompanied 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.
