Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information (SAR) Your Jitterbug is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are: • 1.06 W/kg CDMA Head SAR • 1.23 W/kg CDMA Body SAR • 1.22 W/kg PCS Head SAR • 1.30 W/kg PCS Body SAR SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed online at www.fcc.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. DANGER – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. FOR CONNECTION TO A POWER SOURCE NOT IN NORTH AMERICA, USE AN ATTACHMENT PLUG ADAPTOR OF THE PROPER CONFIGURATION FOR THE POWER OUTLET. THIS POWER UNIT IS INTENDED TO BE CORRECTLY ORIENTATED IN A VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL OR FLOOR MOUNT POSITION. Consumer Information On Wireless Phones The U.S.
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 radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user.
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.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF? 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.
products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from my wireless phone? What about children using wireless phones? If there is a risk from these products, and at this point we do not know that there is, it is probably very small.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from my wireless phone? Again, the scientific data available does not confirm 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.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, The FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips: 1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.

Implantable Medical Devices Remember to follow any special regulations in any area and always switch your Jitterbug off whenever it is forbidden to use it or when it may cause interference or danger. A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.
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 hearing–aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This is synonymous for T ratings. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark.
Emergency Calls Switch your Jitterbug OFF 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. The Jitterbug, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user–programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your Jitterbug may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident. Do not cut off the call until given permission to do so. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA–58).
• O nly 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 applicable to the device. • 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.
Your Jitterbug is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your Jitterbug, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode. Maintaining Your Jitterbug’s Peak Performance For the best care of your Jitterbug, only authorized personnel should service your Jitterbug and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery power consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features selected, frequency of calls and voice, data and other application usage patterns.
