The VX9400 is an all digital phone that operates on both
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies:
cellular services at 800 MHz and Personal Communication
Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz.
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to
keep communication from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific

area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when
compared with analog mode. In addition, features such
as soft/ softer handoff, hard handoff, and dynamic RF
power control technologies combine to reduce call
interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base Station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile
Station).
1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the
wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long
as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is also possible.
EV-DO system is optimized for data service and is much
faster than 1xRTT system in applicable area.

V CAST Mobile TV uses a technology called MediaFLO.
This Technology is used to broadcast data to portable
devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Broadcast data
includes audio and video streams, individual video and
audio clips, as well as information such as stock market
quotes, sports scores, and weather reports. The "F-L-O" in
MediaFLO stands for Forward Link Only which means that
the data transmission path is one-way, from the tower to
the device. The MediaFLO system transmits data on a
frequency separate from the frequencies used by current
cellular networks.

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.

Safety
Those standards were based on comprehensive
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety
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).
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.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
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:
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.

Tips on Efficient Operation
equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.
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.
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.
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:
Persons with pacemakers:
●
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is

Hearing Aids
Vehicles
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).
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.
Other Medical Devices
Posted Facilities
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.
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in
the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an
aircraft.
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.

Center for Devices and Radiological
Health Consumer Update on Mobile

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 do not justify
FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
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,

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

different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The
following agencies belong to this working group:

user’s head.

Safety
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.
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
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
questions about long-term exposures, since the
average period of phone use in these studies was
around three years.

the possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National
Toxicology Program and with groups of
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.
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.

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

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency
energy exposure I can get by using my wireless
phone?
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio
Frequency energy coming from wireless phones?
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
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,

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 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.
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.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
Radio Frequency energy from my wireless phone?
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

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

hazard exists.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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. The hearing aid and wireless

rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users to find phones that may be

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.
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 over the cell phone, it's
recommended that you turn the BT (Bluetooth) mode off
for HAC.

digital wireless phones
FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility and Volume Control
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro/hearing.html
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 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.
