NON-IONIZING RADIATION  
6
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its  
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety from  
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are  
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal  
safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to  
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment. Use  
only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas  
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance  
and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-  
compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country. To assure  
optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is  
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your  
device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may  
impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level  
than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN  
USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.  
HAC  
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some  
of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some  
newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested  
yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of  
this phone thoroughly 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.

FCC RF Exposure Information  
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.  
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the  
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted  
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)  
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.  
and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with  
the FCC guidelines and those international standards.  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept  
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure  
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)  
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the  
phone, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar  
accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid  
the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) distance  
between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been  
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna  
(Optional, if available.)  
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between  
the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more  
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Gmail  
Gmail is Different  
Gmail is web-based: Your messages are stored on-line, on GoogleTM  
servers but you can read, write, and organize messages by using the  
Gmail application on your phone or by using a web browser on a computer.  
Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you can search your entire  
message history, backed by the speed and power of Google search.  
Actions that you take in one place are reflected everywhere. For example,  
if you read a message in Gmail on your phone, it will be marked as read in  
a web browser. And a message that you send using a browser, or even a  
draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the phone.  
Gmail is conversation-based: Each message and all replies to it are  
grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email applications,  
replies to messages are spread across your Inbox, typically by date  
received, so a message and the replies to it are separated by other  
messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow the thread of a conversation.  
Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders: Gmail allows you to tag  
messages with labels, allowing you to organize your conversations in many  
different ways. For example, with Gmail you can label a conversation with  
your mother about your brother’s birthday present with both “Mom” and  
“Dave”. Later, you can search for all the messages containing either label.  
In other email applications, each message can only be located in one folder.  
You’d have to store each message in the “Mom” folder or the “Dave”  
folder, but not both.  
Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile use: Some features are only  
accessible on your computer browser. The best place to organize and learn  
about Gmail is the web. For example, you can’t use the Gmail application  
on the phone to create the labels and filters that you use to organize your  
messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on the web offers complete  
information about the service, so it’s the best place to learn about all of the  
features of Gmail.

Gmail is for Gmail: Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any  
email address, and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address.  
But if you want to read messages from another email service provider  
(using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email account), you must use the Email  
application.  
Opening Gmail and Your Inbox

TIA Safety Information  
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld  
phones.  
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.  
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)  
*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation  
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-  
Ionizing Radiation Protection  
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 (C95.1).  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those  
standards).  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized  
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may  
violate FCC regulations.

139  
Phone Operation  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone  
with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact  
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at  
a higher power level than otherwise needed.  
Driving  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas  
where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while  
driving, please observe the following:  
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;  
Use hands-free operation, if available;  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving  
conditions or the law require it.  
Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,  
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals  
from your wireless phone.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a  
minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld  
wireless 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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Safety  
140  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their  
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for  
interference;  
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect  
that interference is taking place.  
Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the  
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or  
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer  
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external  
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this  
information.  
Health Care Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in  
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use  
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 in any facility where posted notices so require.

Safety  
141  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your  
phone before boarding an aircraft.  
Blasting Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a  
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs  
and instructions.  
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere  
Turn your phone 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.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always  
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline  
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;  
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas  
where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal  
powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn  
off your vehicle engine.  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either  
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in  
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly  
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards  
Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the  
minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.  
Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power  
plug pin when it’s dirty.  
When using the power plug, ensure that it’s firmly connected. If not, it  
may cause excessive heat or fire.  
If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle  
of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip  
or pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when  
not in use.  
Don’t short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip  
or pen in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of  
the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuit of the  
terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.  
General Notice  
Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause  
serious injury.  
Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit  
card, phone card, bank book, or subway ticket near your phone. The  
magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic  
strip.  
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. Please contact an LG  
Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.  
Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off

immediately and remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it  
to an LG Authorized Service Center.  
Do not paint your phone.  
The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use,  
repair of the phone, or upgrade of the software. Please backup your  
important phone numbers. (Ringtones, text messages, voice messages,  
pictures, and videos could also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not  
liable for damage due to the loss of data.  
When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration so  
you don’t disturb others.  
Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to your ear.  
Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution.  
Ensure that cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna  
unnecessarily.  
Do not use your device for long periods of time while a part of your  
body is making direct contact with it. The temperature of the product  
may increase during normal operation and this may result in harming or  
burning your skin.  
Caution:  
Avoid potential hearing loss.  
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common  
cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests  
that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and  
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to  
permanent noise induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones  
(including headsets, earbuds 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.

Safety  
146  
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending  
on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the  
headphones. You should 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 using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the  
people 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 rock concerts, that might 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 you  
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 your doctor.

FDA Consumer Update  
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices  
and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:  
1. 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. Wireless phones emit low levels of Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They also  
emit very low levels of RF when in standby 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 the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?  
Under the law, the 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 (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a  
case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless 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 does not justify FDA regulatory actions,  
the FDA has urged the wireless 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 wireless phones;  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Safety  
149  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the  
user that is not necessary for device function; and  
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. The following agencies belong to  
this working group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working  
group activities, as well.  
The 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. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety  
questions about wireless phones.  
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks  
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the  
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these  
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can  
get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the  
safety questions discussed in this document.  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here 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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Safety  
150  
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. 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy  
exposures characteristic of wireless 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 pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.  
Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These  
conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless  
phones, so we do not 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 wireless 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 wireless  
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  
wireless phones poses a health risk?  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Safety  
151  
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. Epidemiological  
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,  
but ten 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 wireless 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 the FDA doing to find out more about the possible  
health effects of wireless phone RF?  
The 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 to address important questions about the effects of  
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.  
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electro Magnetic 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.  
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association  
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement  
(CRADA) to do 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 CRADA

Safety  
152  
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 Radio Frequency energy exposure  
I can get by using my wireless phone?  
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency  
(RF) energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in  
consultation with the FDA and the other 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 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.  
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy  
coming from wireless phones?  
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. 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  
consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Safety  
153  
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 wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.  
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency  
energy from my wireless 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  
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 does 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 exposure from wireless  
phone use.  
10. What about children using wireless phones?  
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  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Safety  
154  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard  
exists.  
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical  
equipment?  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can interact with some  
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed  
test method to measure Electro Magnetic 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 the 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 wireless  
phone EMI.  
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless  
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 wireless  
phones so 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.  
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.

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.  
When operating 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. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage  
of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and  
memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the  
speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.  
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free  
wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you  
choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker  
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.  
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.  
4. 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.  
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are

Safety  
156  
reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while  
driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is common  
sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are  
reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if 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 stationary. But if you need  
to dial while driving, follow this simple tip - dial only a few numbers,  
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.  
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be  
distracting. 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.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of  
the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in  
dangerous situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only three  
numbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of  
fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s  
a free call on your wireless phone!  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless  
phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in  
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other  
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local  
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance  
number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving  
may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for  
emergency services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend  
a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,  
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears  
injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or  
other special non-emergency wireless number.

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 applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations  
regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or  
otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use his or her phone  
while operating a vehicle.  
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. 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 exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement  
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the  
rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts  
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety  
limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates  
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to  
account for any variations in measurements.  
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified  
by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level  
in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest  
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating  
can be well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to  
operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach  
the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station

antenna, the lower the power output.  
Before a phone model 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.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone  
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF  
emission guidelines.  
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the  
ear is 1.22 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user’s  
manual, is 1.22 W/kg. While there may be differences between SAR levels  
of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government  
requirement for safe exposure.  
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be  
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/  
after searching on FCC ID.  
To nd information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses  
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 a particular  
phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values  
for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found  
on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at  
http://www.ctia.org/  
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used  
by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.  
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional  
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations  
for Wireless Devices  
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.  
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (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 noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they  
generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for  
wireless phones, to assist hearing device users to find phones that may  
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the  
box.  
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on 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 it for your personal needs.  
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.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely  
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not  
labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.  
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or  
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings  
mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.

Safety  
160  
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A  
sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered  
for best use.  
In the example to the left, 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 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’s acceptable for normal operation.  
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark  
is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are  
recommended by the 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.  
When you’re talking on a cell phone, it’s recommended that you turn the BT  
(Bluetooth) mode off for HAC.  
According to HAC policy(KDB 285076), we state this handset has not been  
rated for hearing aid compatibility with respect to the WiFi capability.
