FCC RF Exposure Information  
cannot maintain 0.6 inches (1.5 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.  
WARNING! Read this information  
before operating the phone.  
In August 1996, the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) of  
the United States, with its action in  
Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted  
an updated safety standard for human  
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)  
electromagnetic energy emitted by  
FCC regulated transmitters. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the  
safety standard previously set by both  
U.S. and international standards  
bodies. The design of this phone  
complies with the FCC guidelines and  
these international standards.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna  
(Optional, if available.)  
To satisfy FCC RF exposure  
requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm)  
between the user / bystander and  
vehicle-mounted external antenna.  
For more information about RF  
exposure, visit the FCC website at  
www.fcc.gov.  
Caution  
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of  
unauthorized antennas (or  
modifications to the antenna) could  
impair call quality, damage the phone,  
void your warranty and/or violate FCC  
regulations.  
Don't use the phone with a damaged  
antenna. A damaged antenna could  
cause a minor skin burn.  
Contact your local dealer for a  
replacement antenna.  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
This device was tested for typical use  
with the back of the phone kept 0.6  
inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To  
comply with FCC RF exposure

Safety  
evaluations of the relevant scientific  
literature. For example, over 120  
scientists, engineers, and physicians  
from universities, government health  
agencies, and industry reviewed the  
available body of research to develop  
the ANSI Standard (C95.1).  
The design of your phone complies  
with the FCC guidelines (and those  
standards).  
TIA Safety  
Information  
The following is the complete TIA  
Safety Information for wireless  
handheld phones.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal  
Your wireless handheld portable  
phone is a low power radio  
transmitter and receiver. When ON, it  
receives and sends out Radio  
Frequency (RF) signals.  
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.  
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:  
Phone Operation  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone  
as you would any other telephone  
with the antenna pointed up and over  
your shoulder.  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
For your phone to operate most  
efficiently:  
Don’t touch the antenna  
* American National Standards  
Institute; National Council on  
Radiation Protection and  
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.  
Measurements; International  
Commission on Non-Ionizing  
Radiation Protection  
Those standards were based on  
comprehensive and periodic  
VX5400 69  
Safety  
Driving  
research by and recommendations of  
Wireless Technology Research.  
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:  
●
Should ALWAYS keep the phone  
more than six (6) inches from their  
pacemaker when the phone is  
turned ON;  
●
Give full attention to driving --  
driving safely is your first  
responsibility;  
●
Should not carry the phone in a  
breast pocket;  
●
Use hands-free operation, if  
available;  
●
Should use the ear opposite the  
pacemaker to  
●
minimize the potential for  
interference;  
Pull off the road and park before  
making or answering a call if  
driving conditions or the law  
require it.  
●
Should turn the phone OFF  
immediately if there is any reason  
to suspect that interference is  
taking place.  
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.  
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).  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere  
Turn your phone OFF when in any  
area with a potentially explosive  
atmosphere and obey all signs and  
instructions. Sparks in such areas  
could cause an explosion or fire  
resulting in bodily injury or even  
death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive  
atmosphere are often, but not always  
marked clearly. Potential areas may  
include: fueling areas (such as  
gasoline stations); below deck on  
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or  
storage facilities; vehicles using  
liquefied petroleum gas (such as  
propane or butane); areas where the  
air contains chemicals or particles  
(such as grain, dust, or metal  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly  
installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic systems in motor vehicles.  
Check with the manufacturer or its  
representative regarding your vehicle.  
You should also consult the  
manufacturer of any equipment that  
has been added to your vehicle.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility  
where posted notices so require.  
powders); and any other area where  
you would normally be advised to turn  
off your vehicle engine.  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your  
phone while in the air. Switch OFF  
your phone before boarding an  
aircraft.

1. Do wireless phones pose a  
health hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does  
not show that any health problems  
are associated with using wireless  
phones. There is no proof, however,  
that wireless phones are absolutely  
safe. Wireless phones emit low levels  
of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the  
microwave range while being used.  
They also emit very low levels of RF  
when in standby mode. Whereas high  
levels of RF can produce health  
effects (by heating tissue), exposure  
to low level RF that does not produce  
heating effects causes no known  
adverse health effects. Many studies  
of low level RF exposures have not  
found any biological effects. Some  
studies have suggested that some  
biological effects may occur, but such  
findings have not been confirmed by  
additional research. In some cases,

other researchers have had difficulty  
in reproducing those studies, or in  
determining the reasons for  
inconsistent results.

that minimizes any RF exposure to  
the user that is not necessary for  
device function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of  
wireless phones with the best  
possible information on possible  
effects of wireless phone use on  
human health.  
2. What is the FDA's role  
concerning the safety of  
wireless phones?  
Under the law, the FDA does not  
review the safety of radiation-emitting  
consumer products such as wireless  
phones before they can be sold, as it  
does with new drugs or medical  
devices. However, the agency has  
authority to take action if wireless  
phones are shown to emit Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy at a level that  
is hazardous to the user. In such a  
case, the FDA could require the  
manufacturers of wireless phones to  
notify users of the health hazard and  
to repair, replace, or recall the phones  
so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data  
does not justify FDA regulatory  
actions, the FDA has urged the  
wireless phone industry to take a  
number of steps, including the  
following:  
The FDA belongs to an interagency  
working group of the federal agencies  
that have responsibility for different  
aspects of RF safety to ensure  
coordinated efforts at the federal  
level. The following agencies belong  
to this working group:  
●
National Institute for Occupational  
Safety and Health  
●
Environmental Protection Agency  
●
Occupational Safety and Health  
Administration  
●
National Telecommunications and  
Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health  
participates in some interagency  
working group activities, as well.  
The FDA shares regulatory  
responsibilities for wireless phones  
with the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC). All phones that are  
sold in the United States must comply  
with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA  
and other health agencies for safety  
questions about wireless phones.  
The FCC also regulates the base  
stations that the wireless phone  
networks rely upon. While these base  
stations operate at higher power than  
do the wireless phones themselves,  
the RF exposures that people get from  
these base stations are typically  
thousands of times lower than those  
they can get from wireless phones.  
Base stations are thus not the subject  
of the safety questions discussed in  
this document.  
exposure to RF is drastically lower  
because a person's RF exposure  
decreases rapidly with increasing  
distance from the source. The so-  
called “cordless phones,” which have  
a base unit connected to the  
telephone wiring in a house, typically  
operate at far lower power levels, and  
thus produce RF exposures far below  
the FCC safety limits.  
4. What are the results of the  
research done already?  
The research done thus far has  
produced conflicting results, and  
many studies have suffered from  
flaws in their research methods.

3. What kinds of phones are the  
subject of this update?  
The term “wireless phone” refers  
here to handheld wireless phones  
with built-in antennas, often called  
“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones.  
These types of wireless phones can  
expose the user to measurable Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy because of the  
short distance between the phone  
and the user’s head.  
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  
energy exposures characteristic of  
wireless phones have yielded  
conflicting results that often cannot  
be repeated in other laboratories. A  
few animal studies, however, have  
suggested that low levels of RF could  
accelerate the development of cancer  
in laboratory animals. However, many  
of the studies that showed increased  
tumor development used animals that  
had been genetically engineered or  
treated with cancer-causing  
chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to  
develop cancer in the absence of RF

Safety  
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  
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

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.  
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.  
5. What research is needed to  
decide whether RF exposure  
from wireless phones poses a  
health risk?  
6. What is the FDA doing to find out  
more about the possible health  
effects of wireless phone RF?

7. How can I find out how much  
Radio Frequency energy  
exposure I can get by using my  
wireless phone?  
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  
All phones sold in the United States  
must comply with Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC)  
guidelines that limit Radio Frequency  
(RF) energy exposures. The FCC  
established these guidelines in  
consultation with the FDA and the  
other federal health and safety  
agencies. The FCC limit for RF  
exposure from wireless phones is set  
at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of  
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The  
FCC limit is consistent with the safety  
standards developed by the Institute of  
Electrical and Electronic Engineering  
(IEEE) and the National Council on  
Radiation Protection and  
Measurement. The exposure limit  
takes into consideration the body’s  
ability to remove heat from the tissues  
that absorb energy from the wireless  
phone and is set well below levels  
known to have effects. Manufacturers  
of wireless phones must report the RF  
exposure level for each model of  
phone to the FCC. The FCC website  
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

whether a wireless phone complies  
with safety guidelines.  
9. What steps can I take to reduce  
my exposure to Radio Frequency  
energy from my wireless phone?  
The Institute of Electrical and  
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is  
developing a technical standard for  
measuring the Radio Frequency (RF)  
energy exposure from wireless  
phones and other wireless handsets  
with the participation and leadership  
of FDA scientists and engineers. The  
standard, “Recommended Practice

interference with medical  
equipment?  
10. What about children using  
wireless phones?  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from  
wireless phones can interact with  
some electronic devices. For this  
reason, the FDA helped develop a  
detailed test method to measure  
Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of  
implanted cardiac pacemakers and  
defibrillators from wireless telephones.  
This test method is now part of a  
standard sponsored by the  
Association for the Advancement of  
Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The  
final draft, a joint effort by the FDA,  
medical device manufacturers, and  
many other groups, was completed in  
late 2000. This standard will allow  
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe  
from wireless phone EMI.  
The scientific evidence does not show  
a danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If  
you want to take steps to lower  
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)  
energy, the measures described  
above would apply to children and  
teenagers using wireless phones.  
Reducing the time of wireless phone  
use and increasing the distance  
between the user and the RF source  
will reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other  
national governments have advised  
that children be discouraged from  
using wireless phones at all. For  
example, the government in the  
United Kingdom distributed leaflets  
containing such a recommendation in  
December 2000. They noted that no  
evidence exists that using a wireless  
phone causes brain tumors or other ill

time. This standard was approved by  
the IEEE in 2000.  
The FDA continues to monitor the use  
of wireless phones for possible  
interactions with other medical  
devices. Should harmful interference  
be found to occur, the FDA will  
conduct testing to assess the  
interference and work to resolve the  
problem.  
10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the  
powerful ability to communicate by  
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An  
important responsibility accompanies  
the benefits of wireless phones, one  
that every user must uphold.  
When operating a car, driving is your  
first responsibility. When using your  
wireless phone behind the wheel of a  
car, practice good common sense and  
remember the following tips:  
12. Where can I find additional  
information?

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

nearby vehicles.  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic;  
if possible, place calls when you  
are not moving or before pulling  
into traffic. Try to plan your calls  
before you begin your trip or  
attempt to coincide your calls with  
times you may be stopped at a stop  
sign, red light, or otherwise  
stationary. But if you need to dial  
while driving, follow this simple tip  
-- dial only a few numbers, check  
the road and your mirrors, then  
continue.  
3. Make sure you place your wireless  
phone within easy reach and  
where you can reach it without  
removing your eyes from the road.  
If you get an incoming call at an  
inconvenient time, if possible, let  
your voicemail answer it for you.  
4. Suspend conversations during  
hazardous driving conditions or  
situations. Let the person you are  
speaking with know you are  
driving; if necessary, suspend the  
call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions. Rain, sleet,  
snow, and ice can be hazardous,  
but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,  
your first responsibility is to pay  
attention to the road.  
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.  
5. Don’t 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. Do not get caught  
in a dangerous situation because  
you are reading or writing and not  
paying attention to the road or  
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

number.  
The above tips are meant as general  
guidelines. Before deciding to use  
your mobile device while operating a  
vehicle, it is recommended that you  
consult your applicable jurisdiction’s  
local laws or other regulations  
regarding such use. Such laws or  
other regulations may prohibit or  
otherwise restrict the manner in  
which a driver may use his or her  
phone while operating a vehicle.  
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.

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  
roadside assistance or other  
special non-emergency wireless  
86 VX5400  
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 exposure standard for wireless  
mobile phones employs a unit of  
measurement known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR  
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests  
for SAR are conducted using standard  
operating positions specified by the  
FCC with the phone transmitting at its  
highest certified power level in all  
tested frequency bands. Although  
SAR is determined at the highest  
certified power level, the actual SAR  
level of the phone while operating can  
be well below the maximum value.  
Because the phone is designed to  
operate at multiple power levels to  
use only the power required to reach  
the network, in general, the closer you  
are to a wireless base station  
antenna, the lower the power output.  
Before a phone model is available for  
sale to the public, it must be tested  
and certified to the FCC that it does not  
exceed the limit established by the  
government-adopted requirement for  
safe exposure. The tests are  
performed in positions and locations  
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)  
as required by the FCC for each model.  
The highest SAR value for this model  
phone when tested for use at the ear  
is 1.27 W/kg and when worn on the  
body, as described in this user guide,  
is 0.693 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.  
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 Grant section of  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after  
searching on FCC ID BEJVX5400.  
Additional information on Specific  
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found  
on the Cellular Telecommunications  
Industry Association (CTIA) website at  
http://www.ctia.org.  
* In the United States and Canada, the  
SAR limit for mobile phones used by  
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)  
averaged over one gram of tissue.  
The standard incorporates a

device users find phones that may be  
compatible with their hearing devices.  
Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated have the rating  
on their box or a label located on the  
box.  
The ratings are not guarantees.  
Results will vary depending on the  
user’s hearing device and hearing  
loss. If your hearing device happens  
to be vulnerable to interference, you  
may not be able to use a rated phone  
successfully. Trying out the phone  
with your hearing device is the best  
way to evaluate it for your personal  
needs.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4  
meet FCC requirements and are likely  
to generate less interference to  
hearing devices than phones that are  
not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of  
the two ratings.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet  
FCC requirements and are likely to  
generate less interference to hearing  
devices than phones that are not  
labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the  
two ratings.  
FCC Hearing-Aid  
Compatibility (HAC)  
Regulations for  
Wireless Devices  
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC)  
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309  
modified the exception of wireless  
phones under the Hearing Aid  
Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to  
require digital wireless phones be  
compatible with hearing-aids. The  
intent of the HAC Act is to ensure  
reasonable access to  
telecommunications services for  
persons with hearing disabilities.  
While some wireless phones are used  
near some hearing devices (hearing  
aids and cochlear implants), users  
may detect a buzzing, humming, or  
whining noise. Some hearing devices  
are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also  
vary in the amount of interference  
they generate.  
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  
The wireless telephone industry has  
developed a rating system for  
wireless phones, to assist hearing

noise. The hearing aid and wireless  
phone rating values are then added  
together. A sum of 5 is considered  
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6  
is considered for best use.  
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks  
are referenced in Section 20.19 of the  
FCC Rules. The HAC rating and  
measurement procedure are  
described in the American National  
Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19  
standard.  
To ensure that the Hearing Aid  
Compatibility rating for your phone is  
maintained, secondary transmitters  
such as Bluetooth and WLAN  
components must be disabled during  
a call. See Page 50 for instructions to  
disable these components.  
For information about hearing  
aids and digital wireless phones  
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 is synonymous for T  
ratings. 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 is acceptable for  
normal operation.
