Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives and 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.
VX5300_Eng 1.1.qxd 9/15/06 4:59 PM Page 78 Safety Tips on Efficient Operation Pacemakers For your phone to operate most efficiently: Don't touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.

The battery can be recharged several hundred times before replacement. Recharge the battery after long periods of nonuse to maximize battery life. Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions. Use of extended backlighting, and data connectivity kits affect battery life and talk/standby times.
VX5300_Eng 1.1.qxd 9/15/06 4:59 PM Page 82 Safety Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to heat generated during use. When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe place with the power cord unplugged. Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause interference to the phone. Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn.

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.

Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health. The 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.
VX5300_Eng 1.1.qxd 9/15/06 4:59 PM Page 85 These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the 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.
VX5300_Eng 1.1.qxd 9/15/06 4:59 PM Page 86 Safety 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.
