When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some
features, such as Sprint PCSVoice Command, will be unavailable, you
can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following
differences when using analog service:
ⅷ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
ⅷ
Some features which are standard on the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network, such as call waiting, and direct international dialing, may
not be available.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming,
you may not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network. (See “Checking forVoicemail MessagesWhile
Roaming”on the next page.)
ⅷ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that
exist with conventional analog services today.
ⅷ
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to
recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.

CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, you may
not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers
can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your
voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an
extended period of time.

GettingtheMost Out ofYourReception
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area.
Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars
next to the signal strength icon.The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If
you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save
feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service
availability; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save
feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your
phone returns to standby mode.
UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives
and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system
handling your call controls the power level.This power can range from 0.01μ watts to
0.2 watts in digital mode.
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described
below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries
developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In
1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard
in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining
safe, satisfactory service.
ⅷ
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.
ⅷ
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
ⅷ
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ⅷ
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
ⅷ
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does
get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.

UsingYourPhoneWhileDriving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free
device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
ⅷ
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
ⅷ
When available, use a hands-free device.
ⅷ
Position your phone within easy reach.
ⅷ
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
ⅷ
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
ⅷ
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before
pulling into traffic.
ⅷ
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.
ⅷ
Dial
to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your
wireless phone.

FollowingSafetyGuidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a
given area.Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.

UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note:Alwaysturnoffthephoneinhealthcarefacilitiesandrequest permissionbeforeusing
thephonenearmedicalequipment.
TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.To prevent possible interference with
aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you
to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the
ground.To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while the plane is in the air.
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting
area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death.These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.They include:
ⅷ
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
ⅷ
Below deck on boats.
ⅷ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
ⅷ
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or

UsingYourSprint PCSPhoneWith
aHearingAidDevice
Your Sprint PCS Phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When 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 ratings for some of their mobile phones,
to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated will have
an “M3”or “M4”rating on the box. Your SCP-200 by Sanyo has an M3 rating.
Note: PhonesratedM3orM4meet FCCrequirementsandmaygeneratelessinterferencetohearing
devicesthanphonesthat arenot labeled. M4isthebetter/higherofthetworatings.
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone
and hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your
hearing device and degree of your hearing loss.
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings
similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids.
Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M”ratings of your
hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating
of six for “best use.”
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled
M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid
device. Should you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly
return it to the store. With the Sprint 14-day Risk-Free Guarantee you may return the
phone within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.

SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the
head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone
models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the
FCC.This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines.Variations in SARs do not represent a variation
in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not
mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the SCP-200 are:
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part 22):
Head: 1.360W/kg; Body-worn: 1.050W/kg

What isradiofrequencyenergy(RF)?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of
electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of the
other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays and
light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists of waves of
electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through space.The area
where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas. As
they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All electromagnetic
waves travel at the speed of light.The major differences between the different types
of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of the wave and the number of waves
that pass a certain point during a set time period.The wavelength is the distance
covered by one cycle of a wave.The frequency is the number of waves passing a given
point in one second. For any electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by
the frequency equals the speed of light.The frequency of an RF signal is usually
expressed in units called hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One
kilohertz (kHz) equals one thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals
one million waves per second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves
per second.
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per
second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a subset of
radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million waves per
second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).
Howisradiofrequencyenergyused?
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio and
TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire
department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on
RF energy.
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and
sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave frequencies, can
heat water. Since most food has a high water content, microwaves can cook food
quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and airplanes as well as for military
applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use RF energy to mold plastic materials,
glue wood products, seal leather items such as shoes and pocketbooks, and process
food. Medical uses of RF energy include pacemaker monitoring and programming.

Howisradiofrequencyradiationmeasured?
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is often
convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each component. For
example, the unit “volts per meter”(V/m) is used to measure the electric field
strength, and the unit “amperes per meter”(A/m) is used to express the magnetic
field strength. Another common way to characterize an RF field is by means of the
power density. Power density is defined as power per unit area. For example, power
density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts (one thousandth of a watt) per
square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square
centimeter (μW/cm2).
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the body
is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR.The SAR is a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg)
or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).
What biologicaleffectscanbecausedbyRFenergy?
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the
effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma
rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are stripped
away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently
damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material. Ionization only
occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as X-rays and gamma
rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing ionizing radiation (such as
that associated with nuclear power plants).
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio waves
and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms and
molecules.Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat) and other forms
of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue.This can damage tissues and increase
body temperatures.Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly
vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry
away excess heat.
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too low to
produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some people have
questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF energy. It is generally
agreed that further research is needed to determine what effects actually occur and
whether they are dangerous to people. In the meantime, standards-setting
organizations and government agencies are continuing to monitor the latest
scientific findings to determine whether changes in safety limits are needed to
protect human health.
Section 4A: Safety

FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety
have worked together and in connection withWHO to monitor developments and
identify research needs related to RF biological effects.
What levelsofRFenergyareconsideredsafe?
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to
radiofrequency energy.These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for both
the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used safety
guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are derived
from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements (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.
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).The
ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE, with a few
exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure levels in the lower
and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from certain products such
as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, theWorld Health Organization is
working to provide a framework for international harmonization of RF safety
standards.
The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) value of 4 watts per kilogram (4W/kg) as a threshold level of exposure at which
harmful biological effects may occur. Exposure guidelines in terms of field strength,
power density and localized SAR were then derived from this threshold value. In
addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP guidelines vary depending on the frequency of
the RF exposure.This is due to the finding that whole-body human absorption of RF
energy varies with the frequency of the RF signal.The most restrictive limits on
whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human
body absorbs RF energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the
body, such as wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and
magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at
frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.The specific values can be found in two FCC
bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#56;
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65.
WhyhastheFCCadoptedguidelinesforRFexposure?
The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that generate
RF and microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting services in the
U.S. except those specifically operated by the Federal Government. While the FCC
does not have the expertise to determine radiation exposure guidelines on its own, it
Section 4A: Safety
149

does have the expertise and authority to recognize and adopt technically sound
standards promulgated by other expert agencies and organizations, and has done
so. (Our joint efforts with the FDA in developing this website is illustrative of the kind
of inter-agency efforts and consultation we engage in regarding this health and
safety issue.)
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has certain
responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect the quality of
the human environment.Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of transmitters and
facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the environment. Human
exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters is one of several
factors that must be considered in such environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC
revised its guidelines for RF exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as
required by theTelecommunications Act of 1996.
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental radio
stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to undergo
routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an application to the FCC for
construction or modification of a transmitting facility or renewal of a license. Failure
to comply with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines could lead to the preparation of a
formal Environmental Assessment, possible Environmental Impact Statement and
eventual rejection of an application.Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance
with the FCC RF safety requirements can be found in the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are
normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure.
These exclusions are based on standard calculations and measurement data
indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating under the conditions
prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the guidelines under normal
conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from compliance, but, rather,
exclusions from routine evaluation.The FCC’s policies on RF exposure and
categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of the FCC’s Rules and
Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].
HowcanIobtaintheSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)valueformy
wirelessphone?
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate
compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996.The relative
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user is given by
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above.The FCC requires wireless
phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg) in terms
of SAR.
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many recently
manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that model.The
FCC ID number 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
ID number, go to the followingWeb address: www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page,

you will see instructions for entering the FCC ID number.Type the FCC ID number
exactly as requested (the Grantee Code is the first three characters, the Equipment
Product Code is the rest of the FCC ID number).Then click on “Start Search.”The
“Grant of Equipment Authorization”for your telephone should appear. Read through
the grant for the section on “SAR Compliance,”“Certification of Compliance with FCC
Rules for RF Exposure”or similar language.This section should contain the value(s)
for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the
maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment Authorization.”For
phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000, detailed
information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated with the grant.
Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking on “View Exhibit.”
Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather,
have been documented in the form of paper records.
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers may
find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone
manufacturers make SAR information available on their ownWeb sites. In addition,
some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of wireless
phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no guarantees of
their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the CellularTelecommunications and
Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide SAR information to consumers in
the instructional materials that come with the phones.
Dohands-freekitsforwirelessphonesreducerisksfromexposureto
RFemissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be
used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort.These systems reduce the
absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is
mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required
to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head
or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the
safety limit.
Dowirelessphoneaccessoriesthat claimtoshieldtheheadfromRF

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,
there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from
those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free”kits, these so-called
“shields”may interfere with proper operation of the phone.The phone may be forced
to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In

February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold
devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making
false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a
reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
What arewirelesstelephonebasestations?
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular base
stations, cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations or
telephone transmission towers.These base stations consist of antennas and
electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are often
located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops.Typical heights for freestanding
base station towers are 50-200 feet.
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that are
referred to as “omni-directional”antennas.These types of antennas are usually
found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers now more
commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations.These antennas
consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension.The antennas are
usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One antenna in each group
is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the other two antennas in each
group are used to receive signals from wireless phones.
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the number
of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each transmitter.
Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical cell site using
sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be connected to up
to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is unlikely that all of the
transmitters would be transmitting at the same time. When omni-directional
antennas are used, a cellular base station could theoretically use up to 96
transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and, once again, it is unlikely that all
transmitters would be in operation simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS
communications generally require fewer transmitters than those used for cellular
radio transmissions, since PCS carriers usually have a higher density of base station
antenna sites.
Arewirelesstelephonebasestationssafe?
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations
travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation
pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin pancake
centered around the antenna system.The individual pattern for a single array of
sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of
electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from the
antenna.Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close
to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact, ground-level
exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less than the exposure
levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So exposure to nearby
residents would be well within safety margins.
Section 4A: Safety
152
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with limits
for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by government
agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made near cellular and
PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed that ground-level
exposures are typically thousands of times less than the exposure limits adopted by
the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits for cellular or
PCS frequencies an individual would essentially have to remain in the main
transmitted radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and within a few feet from
the antenna.This is, of course, very unlikely to occur.
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof or
on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered on the
ground. However, exposure levels approaching or exceeding safety guidelines
should be encountered only very close to or directly in front of the antennas. In
addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for such rooftop base stations, RF
levels to the side and in back of these antennas are insignificant. General guidelines
on antenna installations and circumstances that might give rise to a concern about
an facility’s conformance with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government
Official’s Guide toTransmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and
Practical Guidance.This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.

The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the

However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for evaluating RF levels

potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines for a FCC-regulated facility,

In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, “No State or local government or

Dowirelessphonesposeahealthhazard?
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 radiofrequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the stand-by 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.

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. FCC relies on FDA and
other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.

What kindsofphonesarethesubject ofthisupdate?
The term “wireless phone”refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called “cell,”“mobile,”or “PCS”phones.These types of wireless
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 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 well within the FCC’s compliance limits.

What aretheresultsoftheresearchdonealready?
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 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 don’t 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.
What researchisneededtodecidewhetherRFexposurefromwireless
phonesposesahealthrisk?
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 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 wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What isFDAdoingtofindout moreabout thepossiblehealtheffectsof
wirelessphoneRF?
FDA is working with the U.S. NationalToxicology 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
radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in theWorld 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
Section 4A: Safety
156
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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 CellularTelecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research
on wireless 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 wireless 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.
What stepscanItaketoreducemyexposuretoradiofrequencyenergyfrom
mywirelessphone?
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 wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
Ⅲ
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 exposure from wireless
phone use.
What about childrenusingwirelessphones?
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
radiofrequency energy (RF), 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 scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.
What about wirelessphoneinterferencewithmedicalequipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure
Section 4A: Safety
157

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
wireless phone EMI.
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 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 wireless 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.

Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring,
researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.These
agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Department of
Defense (DOD).
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the Center
for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops performance
standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products including X-ray
equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave ovens, laser products
and sunlamps.The CDRH established a product performance standard for
microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF leakage from ovens. However,
the CDRH has not adopted performance standards for other RF-emitting products.
The FDA is, however, the lead federal health agency in monitoring the latest research
developments and advising other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting
products used by the public, such as cellular and PCS phones.
The FDA’s microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an
exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured at
five centimeters from the oven surface).The standard also requires ovens to have
two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating
microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is opened.
The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations are safe for consumer and industrial use. More
information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.

The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public
exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health are
presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an Inter-
agency RadiofrequencyWorking Group, which coordinates RF health-related
activities among the various federal agencies with health or regulatory
responsibilities in this area.
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous chemical
and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for exposure of
workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was later ruled to be
only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based on an earlier RF exposure
standard that has now been revised. At the present time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or
FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes under OSHA’s “general duty
clause”(for more information see:http://www.osha-
slc.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html.
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It conducts
research and investigations into issues related to occupational exposure to chemical
and physical agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF exposure
guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were never adopted by the agency.
NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through its Physical Agents Effects Branch
in Cincinnati,Ohio.
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible for
authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum. Like the
FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered adopting guidelines
for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government transmitters such as radar and
military facilities.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological effects
of RF energy for a number of years.This research is now conducted primarily at the
U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force Base,Texas.The DOD
Web site for RF biological effects information is listed with other sites in conjunction
with a question on other sources of information, below.
Whofundsandcarriesout researchonthebiologicaleffectsof
RFenergy?
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in laboratories in
the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most research has been funded
by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive military use of RF equipment
such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters. In addition, some federal
agencies responsible for health and safety, such as the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have sponsored and
conducted research in this area. At the present time, most of the non-military
research on biological effects of RF energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry
organizations. More research is being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.
In 1996, theWorld Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF
Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health
concerns over the use of RF technology. WHO maintains aWeb site that provides

extensive information on this project and about RF biological effects and research
(www.who.ch/peh-emf).
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety
have worked together and in connection withWHO to monitor developments and
identify research needs related to RF biological effects.
HowdoesFCCAudit CellPhoneRF?
After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed, FCC
will occasionally conduct “post-grant”testing to determine whether production
versions of the phone are being produced to conform with FCC regulatory
requirements.The manufacturer of a cell phone that does not meet FCC’s regulatory
requirements may be required to remove the cell phone from use and to refund the
purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may be subject to civil or
criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a risk of injury to the user,
FDA may also take regulatory action.The most important post-grant test, from a
consumer’s perspective, is testing of the RF emissions of the phone. FCC measures
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the phone, following a very rigorous testing
protocol. As is true for nearly any scientific measurement, there is a possibility that
the test measurement may be less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the
phone.This difference between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is
because test measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test
measurement and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors.
This inherent variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.”When FCC
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any
measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is
appropriate.This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it will
have a sound, defensible scientific basis.
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell phone RF,
and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current understanding of the risks
presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF emissions from cellular phones have
not been shown to present a risk of injury to the user when the measured SAR is less
than the safety limits set by FCC (an SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the
maximum measurement uncertainty permitted by current measurement standards
was added to the maximum permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well
below any level known to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC’s approach
with measurement uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any
known risk from the RF emitted by cellular telephones.
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute effects
of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure to cellular
telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many years). If new
information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC’s measurement policy may be
appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both agencies will work together to develop a
mutually-acceptable approach.

successful, you will be responsible for any discounts provided to you with the purchase
important information on number transfers.
Coverage. Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in our mapping
(the "Nationwide Sprint PCS Network") as well as coverage we make available to you
through agreements with other carriers ("off network" or "roaming" coverage). All

RoamingCoverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you are
roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, unless included
as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. Roaming calls placed
"manually" (through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur separate and
additional charges. Depending on your phone settings, you may automatically roam if
there is a gap or interruption in coverage within the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network
coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your phone guide for how to adjust
phone settings. Certain features and services may not be available in roaming coverage
areas (including PCSVision, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).
Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed charges
based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, monthly recurring
charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges for long distance, roaming,
call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other time based usage charges
are calculated from when your device first initiates contact with a network until the
network connection is broken, whether or not you were actually successful in
connecting to the intended destination. However, you will not be charged for voice calls
that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For voice calls received by your
device, you are charged from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the
call is terminated. You are charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in
which the call is initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.
Sprint PCSVisionCharges. Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in minutes. Bytes
are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the top of each clock hour while
in a session and at the end of each session and is then charged to you based on the
terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may be charged against an

allowance or on a fixed price per kilobyte. Usage charges may be rounded up to the next
cent at monthly or other intervals. In certain instances, you may not know that your
session has not ended. As long as your device is connected to our network, you will incur
data usage charges. You will be charged for all data directed to the internet address (or
"IP address") assigned to your device, regardless of who initiates the activity or whether
your device actually receives the data.This includes, but is not limited to, the amount of
data associated with the particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email, etc.),
additional data used in accessing, transporting and routing this information/item on
our network, data from partial or interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data
associated with unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. Based on
these and a number of other factors (e.g., the specific application, network
performance, etc.) data used and charged to you will vary widely, even for the same
activity. Estimates of data usage – for example, the size of downloadable files – will not
be accurate or a reliable predictor of actual usage. Your invoice will not separately
identify the number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or
services.
TaxesandSurcharges.We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by or
remitted directly to federal, state, local or foreign governments including, without
limitation, sales, gross receipts, Universal Service, use, and excise taxes. If you claim any
tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.Tax
exemptions are not applied retroactively. We also invoice you for surcharges that we
collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with government programs such as
number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service; these charges are not the
taxes nor government imposed assessments.
Invoicing&Payment. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.
Monthly recurring and related charges for Services are generally invoiced one invoicing
cycle in advance. Other charges are invoiced soon after they are incurred. Most usage is
generally applied to the invoicing cycle in which they are incurred, but in some
instances may be applied to subsequent invoicing cycles. You are responsible for all
charges associated with any device activated on your account, regardless of who used
the device. You must pay all charges by the due date on the invoice. Past dueamounts

authorization or notice. Based on your credit or payment history, we may require certain
forms of guaranteed payment as a condition of maintaining Services. If we invoice you
for amounts on behalf of a third-party, payments received are first applied to amounts
due to us. You may be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment and for
payments denied by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked
"paid in full") does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.

DisputedCharges. Disputes concerning any charges invoiced must be raised within 60
days of the date of the invoice. You accept all charges not disputed in this time period.
Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on your invoice.
Account SpendingLimit &Deposits. We may impose an account spending limit
("ASL") on any account without notice. We will notify you of an ASL based on your credit
or payment history and may reduce the ASL at any time with prior notice. An ASL should
not be relied on to manage usage on your account. We may suspend an account
without prior notice when the account balance reaches the ASL, even if the account is
not past due. Services can be restored upon payment of an amount that brings the
account balance below the ASL and any past due amounts. If we require a deposit for
you to establish or maintain an account, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of
payment for Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time with notice for
good reason. Except as we allow, a deposit may not be used to pay any invoice or delay
payment.The deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit and changes to
the deposit amount are determined based on your credit and payment history.The rate
of interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix deposits with our
other funds. If your account is terminated for any reason, we may without notice apply
your deposit to any outstanding charges. We may send any remaining deposit amounts
to your last known address within 75 days after account termination. If the funds are
returned to us, you may claim these funds for one year from the date of return. Any
money held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your benefit and are
subject to a servicing fee charged against the balance. You forfeit any portion of the
