that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked.  
Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all  
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network,  
environmental, or interference issues.

Battery Charge Level  
Signal Strength  
The battery charge level is shown at the top  
right of the LCD screen. When the battery  
charge level becomes low, the low battery  
sensor alerts you in three ways: sounding  
an audible tone, blinking the battery icon,  
and displaying a warning message. If the  
battery charge level becomes exceedingly  
low, the phone automatically switches off  
and any function in progress is not saved.  
Call quality depends on the signal strength  
in your area. The signal strength is  
indicated on the screen as the number of  
bars next to the signal strength icon  
The more bars, the better the signal  
strength. If the signal quality is poor, move  
.
to an open area. If you are in a building, the  
reception may be better near a window.

consultation with the FDA and the other  
Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical  
standard for measuring the Radio  
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC  
limit for RF exposure from wireless phones  
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 body’s  
ability to remove heat from the tissues that  
absorb energy from the wireless phone and  
is set well below levels known to have  
Frequency (RF) energy exposure from  
wireless 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 wireless phone  
users. The test method uses a tissue-  
simulating model of the human head.  
Standardized SAR test methodology is  
expected to greatly improve the  
effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones  
must report the RF exposure level for each  
model of phone to the FCC. The FCC  
)
gives directions for locating the FCC  
consistency of measurements made at  
different laboratories on the same phone.

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 wireless phone  
complies with safety guidelines.

exposure from wireless phone use.  
10. 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. But if  
you are concerned about avoiding even  
potential risks, you can take a few simple  
steps to minimize your exposure to Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key  
factor in how much exposure a person  
receives, reducing the amount of time  
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF  
exposure. If you must conduct extended  
conversations by wireless phone every day,  
you could place 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 do not demonstrate 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  
The scientific evidence does not show a  
danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If you  
want to take steps to lower exposure to  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures  
described above would apply to children  
and teenagers using wireless phones.  
Reducing the time of wireless 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 wireless 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 wireless phone  
causes brain tumors or other ill effects.  
Their recommendation to limit wireless  
phone use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on

10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful  
ability to communicate by voice almost  
anywhere, anytime. An important  
responsibility accompanies the benefits of  
wireless phones, one that every user must  
uphold.  
3. Make sure you place your wireless  
phone within easy reach and where you  
can reach it without removing your eyes  
from the road. If you get an incoming  
call at an inconvenient time, if possible,  
let your voicemail answer it for you.

possible, place calls when you are not  
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try  
to plan your calls before you begin your  
trip or attempt to coincide your calls  
with times you may be stopped at a  
stop sign, red light, or otherwise

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. These FCC  
exposure limits are derived from the  
recommendations of two expert  
organizations, the National Counsel on  
Radiation Protection and Measurement  
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,  
the recommendations were developed by  
scientific and engineering experts drawn  
from industry, government, and academia  
after extensive reviews of the scientific  
literature related to the biological effects of  
RF energy.  
The above tips are meant as general  
guidelines. Before deciding to use your  
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it  
is recommended that you consult your

otherwise restrict the manner in which a  
driver may use his or her phone while  
operating a vehicle.
