Consumer Information About Radio Frequency 
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits 
radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information 
addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless 
phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency (“RF”) 
energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United 
States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications 
Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA 
issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it 
states, “The scientific community at large … believes that the weight of scientific 
evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) 
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community 
does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge. 
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to 
monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at 
http://www.fda.gov (under “c”in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). 
You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA.  
						

							For Your Safety154
In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development 
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC 
issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that 
proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems, 
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication is available at 
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or 
(888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless phones 
in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is available for sale to the 
public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does 
not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a 
Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF 
energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its 
highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required 
that the SAR of handheld wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, 
averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest 
power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less 
than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to 
call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the phone 
to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 
at 
http://ww.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins 
or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at 
http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also wish to 
contact the manufacturer of your phone.  
						

							For Your Safety155
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to 
minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.
You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the 
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states 
that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and 
comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because 
the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the 
head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part 
of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. 
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements 
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either 
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use your 
wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with an antenna on the outside 
of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless phone manufacturer’s 
instructions for the safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a 
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The FDA/
FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other national 
governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones 
at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made 
such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report a group of independent 
experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors 
or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children 
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health 
hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at 
http://www.dh.gov.uk (search 
“mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United 
Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available 
online at 
www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). 
Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict 
their children’s wireless phone use.

Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
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.  
						

							For Your Safety158
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 using standard operating positions specified by 
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested 
frequency bands. Although 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. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 values are:
* Head: 0.70 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.19 W/kg
(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available 
accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at 
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with 
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission 
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can 
be found under the Display Grant section of 
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after 
searching on FCC ID ZNFH871. Additional information on Specific Absorption 
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association 
(CTIA) website 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.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) 
Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and 
Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the 
Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones 
be compatible with hearingaids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable 
access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. While 
some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and 
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some 
hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and 
phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, 
to assist hearing device users to find phones that may be compatible with their 
hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the 
rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing 
device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to 
interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the 
phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal 
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to 
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 
is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC 
requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than 
phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing 
health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the 
hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and 
wireless phone rating values are then added together.
