For Your Safety 131
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.39 inches
(1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained between the
user’s body and the back of the phone.
Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches
(1.0 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not
been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.
Consumer Information About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits
radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information
addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless
phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency (“RF”)
energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United
States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA
issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it
states, “The scientific community at large … believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community
does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor
developments in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at
http://
www.fda.gov
(under “c”in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can
also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA.
