Technical Details
The VX3200 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.
Also, the VX3200 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service
(AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates
on Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a
conventional dual-mode or singlemode phone.

Performance
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep
Speech CODEC
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.
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and ANSI J-STD-008
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.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
FCC RF Exposure Information
(Optional, if available.)
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be maintained
between the user / bystander and the vehicle-mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at
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.
Caution
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and
these international standards.
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the
phone kept 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 3/4 inches (2 cm) must be maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 3/4
inches (2 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.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin a minor burn may
result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement of antenna.

Phone Operation
TIA Safety Information
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless
handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Tips on Efficient Operation
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not 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.
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:
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
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
phone while driving, please observe the following:
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
●
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first
responsibility;
ICNIRP (1996)
American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
●
●
Use hands-free operation, if available;
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law so require.
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).
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.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
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.
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.

VX3200 9 1
VX3200
S a f e t y
Persons with pacemakers:
Posted Facilities
●
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
●
●
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch
OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
●
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
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.
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.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
Vehicles
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.
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.

Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless phones;
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure
to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
Mobile Phones:
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use
on human health.
1. Do w ireless 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 radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the Main Menu Screen. 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.
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.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of w ireless
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 radiofrequency energy (RF) 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.
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.
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:
9 8

S a f e t y
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.
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 radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head.
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.
5. What research is needed to decide w hether RF exposure
from w ireless phones poses a health risk?
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
4 . What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposures characteristic of 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.
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 m ore about the
possible health effects of w ireless 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 energy (RF).
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since
December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any

Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project
since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has
been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that
has driven the establishment of new research programs around the
world. The project has also helped develop a series of public
information documents on EMF issues. 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 will also include a broad assessment of
additional research needs in the context of the latest research
developments around the world.
8. What has the FDA done to m easure the radio frequency
energy com ing from w ireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) 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 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.
7. How can I find out how m uch radio frequency energy
exposure I can get by using m y w ireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF) 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
telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the
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
locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can
find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
9. What steps can I take to reduce m y exposure to radio
frequency energy from m y w ireless 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 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.
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.

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.
10. What about children using w ireless phones?
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.
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 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.
12. Where can I find additional inform ation?
For additional information, please refer to the following resources:
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

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI)
of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored
by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by 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.

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.
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:
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.
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.
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 is a
free call on your wireless phone!
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. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. 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.
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.
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.
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.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are
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. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading
or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.17 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.914 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
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 radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
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. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
ID BEJVX3200. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

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.
