Safety and Use. .................................................We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which 
may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALSYour 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. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines 
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. 
and international sta ndards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research 
to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).
The d esign of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
1: American National Standards Institute.
2: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.
3: International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection.
ANTENNA SAFETYUse only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call 
quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
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 replacement antenna.
DRIVING SAFETYTalking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws 
and regulations on the use of phones 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 answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over 
the airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage.
ELECTRONIC DEVICESYour 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. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may 
not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.
PACEMAKERSThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a 
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent 
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
 •  ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
  • Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
  • Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
 •  If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
HEARING AIDSSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your 
service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICESIf 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 healthcare facilities when any regulations 
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external 
RF energy.
VEHICLESRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. 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 FACILITIESTurn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain 
prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative before using your phone aboard an aircraft.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
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.
BODY-WORN OPERATIONThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.0 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance 
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.0 cm separation distance between the user’s Body and 
the back of the phone, including the antenna.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that 
do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov
SAR INFORMATION
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 radiofrequency (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 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted 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 (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 1.090 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.184 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ 
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR 
levels of various cellphones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. 
For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with 
the handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with 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/ea after searching on JYCBLADE.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association 
(CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, 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. 
						

							129130 HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
OUR COMMITMENT
We believe that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital wireless technologies. We are committed to providing 
a selection of compatible devices for our customers who wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M3/T4
FCC ID: RAD483
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids 
to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing 
aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings 
from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone 
when using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil 
mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID COMPATIBLE?The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital 
wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may 
be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try 
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if 
you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider about its return and exchange policies and for information on hearing 
aid compatibility.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR 
DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want 
to talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless 
phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.

FDA CONSUMER UPDATE
U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION - CENTER FOR DEVICES AND 
RADIOLOGICAL
HEALTH CONSUMER UPDATE ON WIRELESS PHONES
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 idle 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 inter-agency 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 net works 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. 
						

							131132
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
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 predisposed 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 neu-roma, 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. 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.fda.gov (under 
“c” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research)) 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. 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 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. 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.

AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSSProlonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research 
suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long 
durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and 
Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing 
in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential 
hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings 
and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:
•  Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
•  When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you 
can hear what you are listening to.
•  Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, 
use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.
•  Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
•  Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary 
hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
•  Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any 
temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
