aids. Therefore, it is important to experiment with the various features of this phone and in different locations using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
Phone Operation NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. Driving Always observe the laws and regulations regarding wireless phone usages while driving. Where cell phone use is permitted while driving, you MUST observe the following: 1. Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility; 2. Use hands-free operation, if available; 3.
interference is occurring. Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals but some equipment or devices might not be. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you please consult your service provider, or call customer service regarding alternatives.
Posted Facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.

speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to. 3. Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, consider using noise-cancelling headphones to block out background noise. 4. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected, so consider limiting your listening time. 5. Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises (e.g.

heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects results in no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not uncovered any biological effects. Although some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, and/or determining the reasons for inconsistent results. 3.
term exposures since the average period of phone use in these studies was approximately three years. 4. What kinds of phones are the subjects of this update? Here the term “wireless phone” refers 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to conduct research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers.
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/cgb/cellular.html) 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. 9. What about children using wireless phones? The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers.
must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone on a daily basis, consider placing 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 does not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.

For additional information, please refer to the following resources: FDA web page on wireless phones (http://www.fda.gov), under “C” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Current Research Results.

your attention off the road. 3. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary; suspend the 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. 4.
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. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary.
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 radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
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. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for your phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for that phone. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.
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 this. 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.
Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
