Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept
0.59 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.59 inches (1.5 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 0.59 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.
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. In June 2000, the FDA entered
