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 SIGNALS Your 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 Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile phone. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S and international standards 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 design 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 Non-ionization Radiation Protection. ANTENNA SAFETY the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, Use only modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. DRIVING SAFETY Talking 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:

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 DEVICES Your wireless handheld 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 mobile phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations. PACEMAKERS The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld mobile 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 Don't carry the phone in a breast pocket. Use the phone on the opposite side of your body from a pacemaker to minimize the possible interference with the pacemaker. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off immediately HEARING AIDS Some digital mobile phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may need to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives). 30 OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES If 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. VEHICLES RF 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 FACILITIES Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES AIRCRAFT FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.

Information Concerning HAC warning US the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as 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, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the users hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is 34 vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your smartphone thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility. Hearing aid compatibility rating for this smartphone: M4/T3. Reference FCC ID: 2AQRMFXMC52401 How the ratings work M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing devices telecoil (T Switch or Telephone Switch) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

Do mobile phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using mobile phones. There is no proof, that mobile phones are absolutely safe. 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 FDAs role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take actions if mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile phones. Design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that not necessary for device function. Cooperate in providing users of mobile phones with the best possible information on possible effects of mobile 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 36 the for mobile phones with National Telecommunication and Information Administration The National Institutes of Health participates in some inter-agency regulatory working group activities, as well. FDA shares responsibilities 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 mobile phones. FCC also regulates the base stations that the mobile phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the mobile phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from mobile phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this document. 3. What kinds of phones are the subjects of this update?
The term mobile phone refers here to hand-held mobile phones with built-in antennas, often called cell, mobile, or PCS phones. These types of mobile 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 persons 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 mobile 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 37 day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use mobile phones, so we dont 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 mobile phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from mobile 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 mobile phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 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 to address 38 that
(FCC) guidelines Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications Commission 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 bodys ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the mobile phone and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of mobile 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 phones RF exposure level in the online listing. 8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from mobile phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from mobile 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 mobile phone users. The test method uses a tissue-
simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test 39 I take to reduce my exposure to methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of measurements made by 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 mobile phone complies with safety guidelines. 9. What steps can radiofrequency energy from my mobile 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 mobile phone will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended conversations by mobile phone every day you could place more distance between your body and the source of RF. since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the mobile phone away from your body or use a mobile phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile 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 mobile phone use. 10. What about children using mobile phones?
Scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of mobile 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 mobile phones. Reducing the time of mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit mobile phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. 40 11. What about mobile phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from mobile 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 mobile phone EMI. FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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. 12. Where can I find additional information?

Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume 41 the headphones. You should settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, ear buds 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 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 use headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the 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 may 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 your 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 with your doctor.
