DA CONSUMER UPDATE
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Government. These limits are part of comprehen-
sive 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 peri-
odic 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.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
In August 1996 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 1.37 W/kg PCS
CDMA Head SAR and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.422 W/kg PCS
CDMA Body SAR. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements).
1. What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often
called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose the user to
measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because
of the short distance between the phone and
the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited
by Federal Communications Commission safety
guidelines that were developed with the advice of
FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater distances
from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base
unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and
thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s
compliance limits.
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.
Body-Worn operation
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF expo-
sure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept 2.2
cm. from the body with a beltclip that contains
metallic components. To maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips,
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 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are con-
ducted 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 max-
imum 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 sta-
tion antenna, the lower the power output. Before
a phone model is available for sale to the public, it

The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

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
standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can pro-
duce 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 suggest-
ed 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 deter-
mining the reasons for inconsistent results.

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

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 inter-
pretation 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.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wire-
less 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

already?
The research done thus far has produced conflict-
ing results, and many studies have suffered from
flaws in their research methods. Animal experi-
ments 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

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wire-
less phones before they can be sold, as it does with
new drugs or medical devices. However, the agen-
cy 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.
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around
the world to ensure that high priority animal stud-
ies are conducted to address important questions
about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF).

Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An
opment of a detailed agenda of research needs
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wire-
less phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).
A combination of laboratory studies and epide-
miological studies of people actually using wireless

this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard sponsored by
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint
effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed in late 2000.

from wireless phone EMI.

to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone
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 that no interference occurs when a person
uses a “compatible” phone and a “compatible”
hearing aid at the same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
8. 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

7. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
The phone may be forced to boost its power
to compensate, leading to an increase in RF
absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade
Commission (FTC) charged two companies that
sold devices that claimed to protect wireless
phone users from radiation with making false and
unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these

ference and work to resolve the problem.
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.
Some groups sponsored by other national govern-
ments have advised that children be discouraged
from using wireless phones at all. For example,
the government in the United Kingdom distrib-
uted leaflets containing such a recommendation
in December 2000. They noted that no evidence
exists that using a wireless phone causes brain
